I'm gonna pick both conference finals. I'm gonna react to the reaction of Pat Beverly,

0:15.6

just smoking my guy on TV for two straight days. Logan Murdoch is gonna talk Western

0:20.6

Eastern Conference finals of this and he also did a piece on the Suns and we have an extended

0:25.5

life advice for you. So get ready. How's it going everyone? I'm doing great. Thanks for

0:30.5

asking. It's been not even 48 hours since one of the worst game sevens I've ever seen.
