Episode Description

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Knicks advancing to the ECF.

In Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, the New York Knicks delivered a commanding 119-81 victory over the Boston Celtics, clinching the series 4-2 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. The Knicks' defense was exceptional, limiting the Celtics to just 81 points—their lowest in a playoff game since 2004. Should we be disappointed in the Celtics?

With the series win, the Knicks are set to face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers advanced by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. This matchup promises to be a thrilling contest, with both teams eager to secure a spot in the NBA Finals.

Yesterday, the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a dominant 125-93 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of their Western Conference Semifinal series. This win propels the Thunder into the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2016. How good are the Thunder? Is this more about Denver or OKC? The Thunder will play the Minnesota Timberwolves in the WCF. How do they matchup? Who should be the favorite to win the NBA Title?
