Summary
Trysta is playing her "flu game" fighting off a migraine but is still here to break down the latest NBA news including the Pistons getting sent home and two great Conference Finals matchups. Trysta looks at why she was right about the Pistons all along, why she trusts Brunson and the Knicks of Mitchell and the Cavs, and why she has zero clue who will come out of the San Antonio OKC battle.
Plus, Shai wins another MVP, and more news from around the league.
