We waited all year for the finals and does it feel kinda boring to anybody else?! It looks like we have a foregone conclusion on our hands with the Celtics taking a 2-0 lead on the series. We also give the Celtics their praises instead of bashing Tatum and Brown like everyone else it feels in mainstream media. Can Kyrie show up the series? What happens if the Celtics start shooting well in the series?

The WNBA feels like someone who wins the lottery and blows all of the money within a year. They were not ready for the spotlight and it doesn’t feel like they are getting any closer. Now Caitlin Clark gets snubbed for team USA? We give you our thoughts on all of this and there is so much more to discuss so join us for season 2 episode 23 of the Swishlist Podcast!!

Can Luka cement himself as the face of the league or is he going to get thumped by the best roster in the NBA?
