Join us after every 2019 NBA Finals game. After the game two win by the Warriors evened the series, Joe and Ray dissect the 
drama that took place in Toronto, including an 18-0 Golden State run to start the 3rd quarter and surviving injuries to Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney.
Toronto took game 1 of the 2019 NBA Finals, led by Pascal Siakam’s 32 points. We react to the comments from Steve Kerr and Klay Thompson about being “unfamiliar” with the Raptors. Complete game analysis as we ponder the Warriors falling behind 1-0 in a playoff series for the first time in 3 years and the first time in the finals under Steve Kerr.
Giants catcher Stephen Vogt joins Inside China Basin for the first time to talk about being a role player in his first season with the Giants. Long-time sportswriter Art Spander gives his 
thoughts on all of the empty seats at Oracle Park and what’s happening with the club this season including whether or not Madison Bumgarner will be traded this summer.
On the Sunday off day between games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference Finals in Portland, Steve Kerr, Draymond Green and 
Steph Curry talked to the media. Joe Castellano had brief questions and answers from all 
three that you will hear in today’s special Dubs OT podcast.
The Giants have been making a lot of changes this season with Farhan Zaidi as the new person in charge. When will they find some roster stability? We tackle that question with Ray Woodson. 
Plus, we start to look ahead to the possibility of Madison Bumgarner wearing a different uniform later this summer.
Andre Iguodala stole the ball from Damian Lillard and the Warriors held on to beat the Blazers to take a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. Steve Kerr said that the Dubs were “outplayed” and that Golden State “stole” 
one after his team came back from a 17-point deficit for the win. The Warriors don’t seem to miss Kevin Durant so far, but do they need him going forward? We tackle that question and talk about the Steph Curry/Seth Curry matchup.
The Warriors took out the Rockets in 6 games and now it’s on to the Western Conference Finals. With Kevin Durant healing from a calf injury, the Splash Brothers combined for 60 points. Steph Curry was held scoreless in the first half, but scored 33 points in the second half to lead 
the Dubs. Klay Thompson chipped in with 27 points and the bench made a major impact for the first time in the playoffs. Joe and Ray discuss game 6 and get you ready for the next series against either Portland or Denver.
After the Giants split in Cincinnati saw SF starting pitchers get shelled, we bring in former Giants starter Bill Laskey to try and make sense of what transpired at Great American Ballpark. The KNBR host and NBC Sports Bay Area/Sacramento RIver Cats analyst also 
gives us the scoop on Mac Williamson, who just got called up to the Giants for the Rockies series starting Tuesday night.
