Verno and Jacoby return to break down the Nuggets’ Game 7 loss and preview the start of the Western Conference finals between the Timberwolves and Thunder. They discuss how the Thunder can continue their championship run, debate whether people are still not giving enough credit to the Wolves for making back-to-back conference finals, and talk about who the best player in this series will be. Next, the guys discuss the rapidly growing rivalry between Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers and Jalen Brunson and the Knicks as they eagerly await Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. They discuss Karl-Anthony Towns’s role in the series, Andrew Nembhard’s shooting, why Haliburton’s up-and-down performances won’t matter as much, and why having Brunson feels like having Mariano Rivera.
