The Ringer Nba Show

Logan and Raja discuss how the Celtics blew out the Mavs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Boston’s effective defensive schemes against Luka and Kyrie, and how Jaylen Brown stepped up to meet the moment (1:44). Along the way, they react to Kristaps Porzingis’s explosive return from injury and the major impact he has on both sides of the ball when he’s on the floor (33:43). Later, they briefly unpack the two front-runners for the Lakers' head-coaching vacancy—JJ Redick and Dan Hurley—and what each hire could mean for the team moving forward (47:45). Finally, the guys close with their Real Ones of the Week (52:14). Email us questions for Mailbag Monday! realonesmailbag@gmail.com The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
