Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - The Goon Squad Clippers, Can't Stop the Celtics & Doug Gottlieb Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason takes Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers to task for their goonish play thus far during the playoffs and explains why history tells us that roughing up the opposition (Hello, 2008 Boston Celtics!) is the only way Kawhi Leonard and the boys are going to win an NBA championship this season. Jason also explains why Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics are such a nightmare matchup for the Toronto Raptors, and why we shouldn't count on the Larry O'Brien trophy returning to The North this season. Plus, FOX Sports Radio host and FS1 personality Doug Gottlieb swings by to explain why it takes a seasoned basketball mind to fully understand what makes Michael Jordan better than LeBron James, why social media is one of the biggest reasons why the country is so divided these days, why Giannis Antetokounmpo's lack of a jump shot could be ultimately what dooms the Milwaukee Bucks, and much more! Finally, Jason puts his gaudy 6-3 record to the test in the Monday edition of the Best Bet.
