The Mid Warriors, LeBron’s Future, and Embiid’s Recovery. Plus: What’s Going On With the Celtics?
from The Mismatch · host The Ringer
With Verno out, Big Wos joins Jacoby on today’s episode as they go through last night’s NBA games, starting off with the Warriors' loss to the Cavs, which saw Steph Curry call his team "average" (01:36). They then move on to the Sixers' win and debate whether Joel Embiid is finally finding his stride and also why Nikola Jokic has been key for Russell Westbrook’s resurgence in Denver (10:10). After debating Jimmy Butler’s future with the Heat, the guys share why the Amen Thompson–Tyler Herro scuffle is actually good for the league (24:36). Next, they discuss Mike Brown’s firing as head coach of the Kings and debate how much influence De’Aaron Fox had in the decision to let Brown go (30:19). The guys discuss what impact Dorian Finney-Smith could have on the Lakers before shifting their attention to LeBron’s comments about how he could play another five to seven years if he really wanted to (36:14). Last, the debate whether the Celtics' recent struggles are anything to be worried about and whether Wemby’s chess meetup in New York last week was inauthentic (47:39).
