After taking a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat lost three straight and let the Boston Celtics get a shot at history before scoring a blowout win in Game 7 in Boston to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals and a date with the Denver Nuggets.
Joe House of The Ringer joined Kevin Sheehan on Tuesday to talk about the Heat's 103-84 win, the NBA Finals matchup, and a quick talk about the Washington Wizards' new hire and who he'd like to see the Wiz take with the 8th overall selection in the upcoming draft.
"I love Michael Winger," House said of the new Wizards president. "Every report I've gotten from my West Coast Ringer people is super glowing. [The Clippers] overpaid him to say in LA, lotta teams were trying to get him last couple years, [Clippers owner Steve] Ballmer overpaid him. So I'm thrilled. Great job by the Leonsis.
"At No. 8, I wish the kid from Villanova would be there, but it looks like he's not gonna be there," he said of forward Cam Whitmore. "He's a beast, monster. God, I would love him. But it looks like [Akransas'] Anthony Black could be available. Combo guard, point guard, wants to play defense, that would be a new thing here in Washington, Kevin, what about a point guard who wants to play some defense!"
