We're waiting for their opponent, it appeared to be a slam dunk for Indiana to make the finals until Game 5, the New York Knicks found a way to extend the series to 6 games and don't let them force a game 7 back at Madison Square Garden, it will be utter pandemonium. The Pacers are in a must win Game 6 to advance to the NBA Finals.....What's next for Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, 2 straight trips to the WCF with the same results....no NBA Finals... 

The MeanGene Show ESPN 97.5 Houston Saturday May 24, 2025 MeanGene talks New York Knicks/Indiana Pacers Eastern Conference Finals, Pacers up 2-0 as the series move back to Indianapolis, Knicks fans not happy with Tom Thibodeau's decision to sit KAT for much of the 4th quarter in the game 2 loss.

Sports Kings NBA Playoffs Show Thursday May 15, 2025 Hosted by: MeanGene "ESPN 97.5 Houston"The MeanGene Show The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Indiana Pacers have punched their way into the Western and Eastern Conference Finals, both for the 2nd consecutive year. Minnesota awaits the winner of the Thunder/ Nuggets semi final , while Indiana waits for the winner of the Knicks/ Celtics semi final. I will provide my thoughts on Monday's NBA Lottery Draft, and what the Dallas Mavericks should do with the #1 pick.  What's next for the Cleveland and Golden State heading into the offseason, find out on these topics and more on the Sports Kings NBA Playoff Show .... 

Sports Kings NBA Playoffs Show Tuesday May 6, 2025 Hosted by MeanGene   Boston vs New York- Knicks lead series 1-0, expect this series to go at least 6 games, possibly 7, huge win for Knicks who trailed by 20 to stage a massive comeback to steal a game in Boston. The Knicks have home court advantage now, Boston can win in NY, but depending on Porzingis, the Knicks can take this series. Despite a lackluster effort by KAT… Minnesota vs Golden State- T Wolves have been waiting on the winner of the Rockets vs Warriors, they host Golden State tonight and will try to prevent what happened to Boston, Cleveland and OKC by winning Game 1 tonight at home. The Warriors needed 7 games to finally put away the Rockets, they are playing great basketball, Steve Kerr is getting to the heart of his rotations, we're seeing Butler, Kuminga, Post , Looney and Moody all having playing time, this will definitely give them an edge over Minnesota who in my opinion doesn't have as deep of a bench, but does have similar size like Houston with Gobert and Naz Reid, they also have a closer that Houston didn't have in Anthony Edwards, so this will be a good series, Twolves made it to the Conference finals last year only to lose to Dallas. 

Sports Kings NBA Playoffs Show Thursday May 1, 2025 OKC and Cleveland both sweep their ways to the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs, Indiana, Minnesota and Boston also win their series 4-1 and wait for the winners of the Nuggets/ Clippers, Warriors/ Rockets and Knicks/ Pistons.  Celtics Jrue Holiday wins another Sportsman of the Year Award, Pacers/NBA make a decision on Tyrese Haliburton's dad after the Giannis confrontation.....   MeanGene
