The Western Conference Finals went seven games, and when the smoke cleared, it was the San Antonio Spurs left standing. OKC is DONE. SGA dropped 35 in Game 7 and it still wasn’t enough to get the reigning champions back into the last round. Mickey Swish and the Vibe Navigator break down how the Spurs knocked off the No. 1 seed, what Luke Kornet’s block means for Western civilizaiton, and why Wembanyama is built different.

Then: it’s June. The NBA Finals are here. Spurs vs. Knicks. A franchise chasing title No. 6 against a city that hasn’t tasted a championship since 1973. We don’t take this for granted. We earned this one.

Tune in.

Welcome back to Dishing and Swishing, your courtside seat to all things NBA, powered by Orb Analytics Limited.

First things first: a quick note from Ari Podcasts. Some technical difficulties on my end cost us a full breakdown of Vibe Navigator’s season-long gambling ledger. Hand up. My bad. We WILL be hitting that next week.

In the East, the Knicks have cooked and the Cavs are officially stick-a-fork-in-it done. We break down what New York has done right on this deep run and why Cleveland immediately ran out of answers.

Then we head out West, where OKC leads the Spurs 3-2 in the Conference Finals. Mickey Swish has thoughts. A lot of them. Loud ones. He has never liked the Thunder style, he is not starting now, and he is ready to tell you exactly why. It gets animated. You’ve been warned.

He’s 22. He’s in the Conference Finals. He might be *is* the best player alive.

Wemby week on Dishing and Swishing. Mickey Swish, the Vibe Navigator, and a bleary-eyed Ari Pods explain why none of this is surprising, but boy oh boy is it entertaining.

Technically there are still four teams competing, but our eyes are all on Wemby. Just pull up a chair and watch the alien work.

The boys return for another episode without their producer. Raw AND uncut! They start by recapping the NBA draft lottery and the WizArds fortunes and continue to analyze the playoffs, with some more jabs thrown at the Boston Celtics along the way.

The boys give an autopsy on the Celtics collapse and cover the rest of the NBA playoffs without their fearless producer. Resulting in a record length for a podcast!

Playoffs, playoffs, and more playoffs.

Plus, a quick stop-in from Red, and a brand new guest on this week’s episode.

Tune in!

The play-in is done, the bracket is set, and it’s time to get into it. Eight series, eight takes. We go deep on every first-round matchup, break down the key storylines so far, and figure out who’s actually built for a deep run and who’s liable to get exposed.

Meanwhile, the Vibe Navigator lays some SERIOUS units in a desperate bid to dig out of the red. He’s trying his hardest, we promise.

Tune in.

The title says it all, folks. Pretty simple one this week as we look ahead to the final play-in games Friday night and real-life NBA playoff basketball starting Saturday. It was a long season, but we made it.

We walk through every first-round series, hand out our picks, and the Vibe Navigator even drops a couple units on the board.

Tune in.

We’re in the final stretch of the ’25–’26 season and the league is held together with athletic tape and vibes. Half the stars are hurt, the other half are playing through things they probably shouldn’t, and Adam Silver is telling us we’re supposed to be excited about these playoffs.

We are, though. We absolutely are.

Plus, award season is here and we’re locking in our final picks. And, the Chicago Bulls cleaned house with one week left in the season. New era. No plan yet. Classic Bulls.

Big injuries. Final verdicts. One franchise in free-fall.

Tune in.

Episode 52 is here, and we brought a guest.

Newly minted RATIONAL Heat Fan Matt joins the pod from the road. We appreciate his commitment and his suspiciously reasonable takes.

Duke goes down. We have thoughts. Lots of thoughts. Did we mention Matt is a Duke fan?

Then we get into our favorite prospects from the upcoming draft class. Who’s built for the league and who’s about to find out that college stardom has an expiration date.

We also check in on two teams stuck in the Eastern purgatory: the 76ers and the Hawks. Are they building toward something or just running out the clock? We try to be fair. We are not always fair.

And we close it out with one eye on the playoffs. Who’s peaking at the right time, who’s quietly falling apart, and which scrappy teams we would NOT want to face.

Big swings. Loud opinions. Questionable logic.

Tune in.
