Welcome back to The Dream Team Podcast! In this episode, the crew gather on a muggy Toronto morning to talk about the Heat knotting the NBA Finals at 1-1, while giving their thoughts on what worked, and what didn’t, and their PROFESSIONAL opinions on who’s taking Game 3. They also give Carmello Anthony his flowers after he called his 19-year-long career, discuss whether he should have his jersey retired, and round out with the most recent NBA coach hirings, and what in the name of all things good the Toronto Raptors are doing with their vacancy. Jake rounds out the podcast discussing LeBron possibly moving to the Dallas Mavericks, and sets the team off on a tangent after he ends the podcast in the most chaotic ending possible.
