Warriors-Rockets 2018 Western Conference Finals Game 7 with Joseph George

About this episode

The episode discusses the pivotal Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Rockets, focusing on analytics in basketball and politics.

Joseph George (Silver Bulletin) and host Thomas Emerick drop in on Harris County May 2018, for this Game 7 showdown between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets for a trip to the NBA Finals. If Houston advances, it would be their first escape from the Western Conference bracket since the days of Olajuwon and Drexler. This episode of Remember That Game made for a really fun chat about analytics in politics and basketball, particularly that revolution in the 2012-2020 period. What better game as a jumping off point than an interesting night for the three-point discourse, as two catalysts of this movement take the stage and one of them goes historically cold.
