Welcome to the thirty-sixth episode of the Dunkin' with Dom podcast! In this episode, Zack and I will focus our attention mainly on Game 5 of the NBA Finals, including some of our big takeaways from the game. Specifically, we'll talk about Milwaukee's near-perfect game, Jrue Holiday rediscovering his offense, Giannis' superb play, Chris Paul's inconsistencies, and what Phoenix could do (if anything at all) to get back in this series. Next, we'll touch upon some more offseason news and answer some important questions about current players, teams, and situations. Who can the Lakers sign and/or trade for to be the third guy behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Is re-signing Dennis Schroder the answer for the Lakers at point guard? Should the Lakers trade Anthony Davis? What's with all the turmoil in Dallas? Is it time for the Mavericks to give up on Kristaps Porzingis? Should the Clippers tank this upcoming season? Will Kawhi accept his player option, decline and demand a newer (and way more expensive) contract, or even leave Los Angeles entirely? Is Damian Lillard going to be in a Trail Blazers uniform to start the 2021-2022 season? All that and more will be answered. Today's guest(s): Zack Dietl
