On this episode, Mike and Jason discuss the NBA Finals as we head into Game 6 on Thursday night. They break down J-Dub's 40 point Game 5 and Shai's season long MVP performances. Next, they discuss the Pacers and how hard it is to pin down where they rank in the hierarchy of the NBA heading into next season. Mike and Jason also look at all the Finals teams for the past 25 years and make the case that Tyrese Haliburton is probably one of the 5 "worst" best players on a Finals team since the year 2000. Finally, they analyze the Orlando Magic's recent trade for Desmond Bain, and explore the Memphis Grizzlies' potential rebuilding strategy. The conversation also touches on the New York Knicks' chaotic coaching search and the implications of their recent decisions.
