Summary

Chris Long and Ryen Russillo rip through the NBA Playoffs. With four teams remaining - the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder face off in the Western Conference Finals and the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks face off in the Eastern Conference Finals - the season is coming down to the wire. The fellas talk about the player depth throughout the league, Nikola Jokic vs Alex Caruso, the MVP race, Anthony Edwards vs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and discuss why each team winning would be best for the NBA. Then we turn to the NFL, talk about Brock Purdy, and answer a mailbag that covers military leaders as NFL coaches, remaining NBA teams as musical acts, and the best song that features a state in the title.
