256: 2023 NBA Finals Preview & Predictions | 2016 Cavs Still Have Best NBA Comeback
On this edition of Road Trippin', Channing, Rich and Allie preview the 2023 NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat. Rich talks about how he believes the Nuggets are ahead of the NBA curve, and draws parallels to the early Warriors dynasty. Channing discusses how he believes the Nuggets being in the NBA Finals is good for the NBA, as they've laid the groundwork for a new culture in Denver. Rich and Channing also discuss what it's like to play at altitude in Colorado, and how it will effect Miami's stamina in the series. Also, the crew gives praise to the Miami Heat for reaching the Finals. Specifically, Channing praises Caleb Martin who balled out in the Eastern Conference Finals. However, Richard claims the Heat may not have an answer for Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. He and Channing discuss what players must start and come off the bench for Miami in order for them to have a chance to stop Jokic. And finally, the crew gives their picks for who they think will be crowned NBA Champions in this series. Have a question or topic for our next show?
