Have the Thunder Broken the Wolves? Plus: A Must-Win Game 2, and Enjoying the Haliburton Experience.
The Thunder continue their dominance to take a 2-0 series lead over the Timberwolves, as Verno and Jacoby recap Game 2 and debate what it’ll take for the Wolves to try to make this a series. They discuss how the Thunder’s Big Three of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren performed, Julius Randle’s disappearance, Mike Conley’s influence, and how the Thunder exploited the Wolves defense. Next, Jacoby shares his feelings after Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers came back to take Game 1 from the Knicks. Did the Knicks collapse, or was it a matter of a hot shooting stretch from Aaron Nesmith? Is Game 2 a must-win for the Knicks?

Thunder-Wolves Preview, Conference Finals X Factors, and Will Haliburton Become the New Knicks Villain?
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.
