Summary

The Minnesota Timberwolves had a historic comeback to beat the Denver Nuggets, but Charlotte-Damus knew predicted this outcome weeks ago. Anthony Edwards is on his way to becoming the new face of the NBA, and Amin agrees the ascension is upon us as long as they keep winning. This is the 6th consecutive NBA Finals where a new champ will be crowned, but the question is, is that good for the NBA? The Knicks were running hot but collapsed in Game 7 in one of the unluckiest runs ever, and Amin thinks the fans may have brought that on themselves. Amin and Charlotte also preview the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, along with the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
