Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs opened the Western Conference Finals with a statement win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Wemby made it clear that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning MVP added fuel to the fire. Wes Goldberg breaks down Wembanyama’s 41-point, 24-rebound performance, the clutch shot that forced overtime, and how San Antonio’s defense made life difficult for SGA in Game 1. Then, Wes looks at the Thunder’s possible adjustments for Game 2, including how Oklahoma City tried to get SGA into more space and attack Wembanyama late in the game.
After that, XJ of Locked On Knicks and Hot Hand Theory joins the show to break down the Knicks-Cavs series, including the key matchups, strategy questions and what to watch as the Eastern Conference Finals begin. Plus, Wes closes with NBA headlines: the Pelicans hiring Jamahl Mosley, the latest Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz, Kawhi Leonard being shopped to Eastern Conference contenders, and why Darryn Peterson may be getting overlooked in the NBA Draft conversation.
