We break down the matchup we’ve been waiting for between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, what makes this series feel like the future of the NBA, and why the narrative around back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander still feels under appreciated. We also preview the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers and discuss what both teams still need to prove on the championship stage. Plus, what the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves need to address this offseason to maximize their championship windows, and reaction to the New Orleans Pelicans announcing their new head coach.
