Game 1 of the WCF was an instant classic as the young guns from Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs went to DOUBLE OT. The Prophets break down why SA almost let OKC steal Game 1 — and why OKC can’t afford to let those late-game mistakes linger through the series. Kev and Rashad debate whether the Thunder’s depth or the Spurs’ poise will decide the West, and why the Prophets believe San Antonio absolutely could not let that opportunity slip away. 

We also discuss the end of the road for the Minnesota Timberwolves. What move keeps them from falling behind both OKC and SA moving forward? Is another star needed, or is internal growth enough?

Then we head East after the Detroit Pistons fall in 7 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kev explains why he wants drastic changes despite Detroit’s breakthrough season, while Rashad questions whether patience is the smarter play.

Finally, it’s time for the ECF preview as the New York Knicks battle the Cavs. Shad rides with Cleveland while Kev backs New York. Is Karl-Anthony Towns the true key to the Knicks making the Finals? And can Cleveland’s “big 4” actually play well enough together to win four games against a physical Knicks squad?
