We are finally at the NBA’s own Final Four for 2023, and it’s a lot of familiar names but have the tables been turned along with home court? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are here to get everyone up to speed as we hit the exit ramp to the NBA Finals. Out West, the healthy and hungry L.A. Lakers conquered the defending champions, but will LeBron James and Anthony Davis be able to recapture the 2020 bubble magic against their bubble opponent, the top-seeded, Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets? Speaking of bubble trouble, we get another 2020 rematch in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics play the Miami Heat once again, but can Boston be the one that can hold home court this time and make it two in a row in what will be an epic showdown between Jimmy Butler and Jayson Tatum? All this, draft lottery talk, and more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

Just when you think you have all the answers… Kevin Durant gets traded. After a quiet stretch leading up to the trade deadline, the Nets blowing up their superstar squad created a one-week NBA cataclysm, and Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are here to do some damage control and cover every single trade that took place this past week!!!
If the Phoenix Suns don’t win the NBA Championship THIS SEASON, is it fair to call the Durant deal a failure? Will the Lakers’ season now be known for more than just “the one where LeBron became the league’s all-time leading scorer”? Are the Warriors toast now that the West teams just got better? Are the KD-Kyrie-less Nets STILL going to make the playoffs?! All this and a ton more! So suit up and take it out in episode 265 with the NBA-Team!
