Old friend of the show Mo Dakhil joins KOC to preview the NBA Finals in full -- how both guys landed on the Oklahoma City Thunder to take care of business in 5 games. BUT the guys play out the scenario, "what is the path to an Indiana Pacers Finals victory?" PLUS during the taping -- the guys' live reaction to the stunning breaking news that the New York Knicks were parting ways with Thibs!
