We are sending Taylor to Game 5 at Madison Square Garden between the Knicks and 76ers thanks to Gametime, but it's going to be hellish for him to reach New York. Then, with Izzy in-studio and Jeremy far away, Mike Ryan wants to have a rational conversation about the Miami Heat and Bam Adebayo. Mike believes the Heat could have a top tier defense without Bam and asks if a player like Donovan Mitchell could contribute more to actually winning a championship in Miami. Izzy explains why he believes Bam is a two-way superstar and why Erik Spoelstra says Bam is essential to what the Heat do. Plus, are the Lakers and LeBron James somehow boring? Izzy and JuJu lead us through a conversation on LeBron's future, the entertainment value of Lakers basketball, and potential landing spots for LeBron should he leave Los Angeles.
