Sports Illustrated’s Rohan Nadkarni returns to the show to preview the NBA Finals with the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets. Drew, Roth, and Rohan talk the power of Caleb Martin, hate on the Celtics to a respectful degree, decide if the Nuggets are being stiffed by national media, and make time to complain about the Mountain Time Zone. All that and Remembering a Guy, diving into the Funbag, and a very special Sandwich Expert Corner, are coming up on this episode.

About The Show
From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
It’s the Distraction, I’m Sheila, That’s Roth.
