  • The Thunder continue their dominance to take a 2-0 series lead over the Timberwolves, as Verno and Jacoby recap Game 2 and debate what it’ll take for the Wolves to try to make this a series. They discuss how the Thunder’s Big Three of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren performed, Julius Randle’s disappearance, Mike Conley’s influence, and how the Thunder exploited the Wolves defense. Next, Jacoby shares his feelings after Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers came back to take Game 1 from the Knicks. Did the Knicks collapse, or was it a matter of a hot shooting stretch from Aaron Nesmith? Is Game 2 a must-win for the Knicks?

  • Verno and Jacoby return to break down the Nuggets' Game 7 loss and preview the start of the Western Conference finals between the Timberwolves and Thunder. They discuss how the Thunder can continue their championship run, debate whether people are still not giving enough credit to the Wolves for making back-to-back conference finals, and talk about who the best player in this series will be. Next, the guys discuss the rapidly growing rivalry between Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers and Jalen Brunson and the Knicks as they eagerly await Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. They discuss Karl-Anthony Towns’s role in the series, Andrew Nembhard’s shooting, why Haliburton’s up-and-down performances won’t matter as much, and why having Brunson feels like having Mariano Rivera.

Next, the guys go over the Clippers' dominance over the Nuggets and why they should really be up 3-0 in the series (20:31). Also, they discuss KAT’s performance in the Knicks' win over the Pistons to take a 2-1 series lead, as well as the weird clock malfunction that almost cost the Knicks the game (32:02). Lastly, they debate whether the Wolves-Lakers series will go the full seven games, their confidence in the Rockets now that Jimmy Butler is hurt, and the hope for the Bucks to flip that switch and make their series against the Pacers more exciting (47:29).

Lastly, the guys discuss Luka Doncic’s epic return to Dallas and debate if Nico Harrison can leave any kind of legacy that doesn’t include trading away Luka (57:36).

  • Verno and Jacoby go through last night’s Warriors win over the Lakers and discuss the takeaways from both teams' perspectives (01:25). They highlight the importance of the role players for each team and why the performances of those role players are key for any kind of deep run. They then discuss the Grizzles' much-needed win against the Heat before focusing their attention on the hypocrisy from the NBA regarding players using the finger-guns gesture after hitting 3-point shots (15:10). Why has the NBA singled out Ja Morant when there’s clear evidence that other players use the gesture? After Giannis’s 20 assist triple-double in the Bucks' win over the Sixers, the guys discuss how far the Bucks can go with this version of Giannis and the sheer insanity that Giannis has no chance to win MVP despite the numbers he’s been putting up (40:30). Lastly, the guys discuss the teams, players, and things they loved and loathed from this week.

They also discuss Tony Allen's jersey retirement ceremony over the weekend, the nonexistent Heat Culture, and the standings in both conferences (25:45). Next, the guys debut a new segment on the show called How Does That Sound?, where they each fire off a take and debate it.
