Today on The Bench Mob NBA podcast we got Kaan and DJ choppin it up about the Brooklyn - Atlanta trade as well as theit thoughts on the first 3 games of the Finals. Taurean Prince heads over to the Nets as the Hawks are able to swipe up 2 1st round picks, fill a spot in the wing rotation next season with Crabbe, and also clear up $18.5M in cap space next year. The Nets cleared up the same amount this offseason and had to pay the price of 2 1st. Princes play for the Nets could actually help them as well. Taurean Prince is the type of player you would like to get at 17 anyway, and fits better with there slightly further than the Hawks timeline. We then get to the main event. The NBA Finals has been very interesting, one reason being the Warriors scored 109 points in each game. Their defense has come and gone, while the Raptors have arrived and look like they're here to stay. Raptors up 2 games to 1, with one another one on Friday. We share all our thoughts with here.

We loved having Coach Cody Toppert on last time for an interview, so we asked him if he wanted to be a regular. Now we have a monthly series where we dive deep into the X's and O's of the game. There's is no one better to break down the game from a coaches persepective than the Assistant Coach of the Rio Grand Valley Vipers, Coach Toppert (@Topp33).
Welcome to Topp of the Key.
On the first installment of this series, Kaan Erel (@KaaNBA_MTD), Tim Heaton (@tim_tweeton) ask Cody about how the game has changed in the past 5-10 years as well as compare the playing styles of International and G-League basketball to the NBA.
