Live on The Ringer NBA YouTube channel immediately following Indiana’s Game 6 win over New York, The Ringer’s Seerat Sohi and Michael Pina offer immediate reaction to Friday’s sole playoff game (00:40). The duo talks about impressive performances from Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner, and … T.J. McConnell?! They also discuss the physical and emotional toll the playoffs have taken on the Knicks, before Seerat and Michael dole out their predictions for the winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday (31:48).
After that, Seerat and Michael grab their popcorn to preview one of the most highly-anticipated non-Finals Games 7 in NBA history: T-Wolves vs. Nuggets (32:56). They talk about the legacies on the line in this game, why Anthony Edwards’s demeanor reminds Seerat of a young Dwyane Wade, why Michael expects Nikola Jokic to have an otherworldly performance, and more, before the pair finishes off by giving their predictions.
