The Wes Side Podcast: Recent Episodes
Wes Goldberg
Wes breaks down why it’s likely the Miami Heat will get the No. 1 seed and avoid the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the playoffs, and why they may only have to play one of the Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics to get to the NBA Finals (0:01) before sharing his thoughts on the MVP race and why the conversation is so flawed around Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid (12:21). Then Wes is joined by The Athletic’s Stephen Nesbitt to discuss his piece on the state of the Miami Marlins rebuild, GM Kim Ng’s strategy and why some consider the Marlins a sleeper playoff team (29:11).
Wes Goldberg opens the show with some thoughts on Wednesday night’s sideline argument between Jimmy Butler, Erik Spoelstra and Udonis Haslem, and why Butler needs to respond by playing better. Then Wes talks with Dan Pizzuta of SharpFootballAnalysis.com to break down the Tyreek Hill trade (10:25). They discuss the Xs and Os of how Hill will open things up for Tua Tagovailoa and Mike McDaniel’s run game and if adding Hill makes the Dolphins a playoff team.

In the first-ever episode of The Wes Side podcast…
Bay Area News Group columnist Dieter Kurtenbach (Twitter: @dieter) and I talk about what the Dolphins can expect from new head coach Mike McDaniel, if the former 49ers OC can get the most out of Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense and if “pipsqueak” McDaniel can be a “leader of men.”
