On today’s episode, Jason discusses his beloved New York Knicks falling behind 3-1 to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals and the idea that these playoffs have proven that the ideal roster build in today’s NBA is more about depth than top-end talent. Later, J-Mac is joined by Spectrum SportsNet host and reporter Nikki Kay to discuss how the Oklahoma City Thunder have rebounded so beautifully after losing both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook this decade, what makes this current OKC team built to last around MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, why the national media keeps disrespecting the Thunder, whether the League is better off with super teams or homegrown squads from small markets dominating, and much more!
