58 minutes

One day later, and nobody in San Antonio is over it. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay return still feeling the sting of the Spurs blowing a 29-point lead in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. What starts as a basketball show quickly becomes a therapy session as the guys work through the anger, sadness, frustration, and disbelief surrounding one of the toughest losses in franchise history.

The conversation dives into everything that went wrong in the second half, from coaching decisions and rotation questions to player fatigue and the Spurs' inability to stop bad habits when the Knicks mounted their comeback.
