Michael Dugger is back with another episode of the Hoops Habit podcast to share his thoughts on the conference finals matchups.
With both conference finals series evened up at 2-2, contributing writer Michael Dugger brings you a new episode of the Hoops Habit Podcast to preview the pair of series that are now in best-of-three situations.
In this episode, we introduce the podcast offering up a refresher on last week’s NBA Draft Lottery-based podcast (0:20). After that, it’s a recap Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals that saw the Houston Rockets take down the Golden State Warriors 95-92 (0:50).
After going over the main events of Game 4, Dugger then shares his thoughts on the rest of the series and how injuries to Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson impact the remaining games (5:15).
We then shift our attention to the Eastern Conference FInals, where the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves tied with the Boston Celtics (17:50). With all four games being one-sided, there aren’t many adjustments to make, but getting Jayson Tatum more isolations offensively (24:00).
The Cavs also have to get their second-best player involved, especially on the road, which opens the door for Kevin Love to exploit his mismatch (26:20) before wrapping up the Hoops Habit podcast.
