We'll spend the first 45 minutes talking all about the Spurs Game 1 win over the Thunder. Do we all agree what we're watching when we see Wemby play??? We'll talk about how the Spurs handled SGA and how he started to figure it out. Alex Caruso had a monster game but can he do it again? Wemby's greatness shouldn't make us forget about how amazing Dylan Harper was (3:00).

In the latest episode of Small Market Bias, host Paul Garcia is joined by guest Collin Reid, where they discussed the following topics: (02:20) Double overtime was needed to decide a winner between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with an incredible 41 points, 24 rebounds, and 3 blocks, as the Spurs defeated OKC minus their other All-Star, De'Aaron Fox. (09:18) Looking at how Wemby was too much for the Thunder defense inside the paint, and how he got help on offense from Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, and Keldon Johnson. (18:09) The Spurs' defense remained elite, limiting the opportunities for the Thunder from the paint, and daring OKC to beat them from beyond the arc. (28:32) Looking ahead to Game 2 on Wednesday, to see what adjustments the Thunder can make to try to limit Wemby's impact inside.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back for a loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, and the Western Conference Finals take center stage right from the jump as these two dig deep into Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at Paycom Center. The series odds on DraftKings have the Thunder as minus-260 favorites and the Spurs sitting at plus-210, but both guys make a compelling case for San Antonio, pointing to a 4-and-1 regular season record against OKC, consistent spread coverage across a wide range of lines, and a style of play that gives the Spurs a real chance to compete against the defending champions. Munaf officially takes the Spurs at plus-220 for the series on FanDuel and likes them plus six and a half for Game 1 as well, arguing that Oklahoma City's price is built on public perception rather than a genuine gap between these two rosters, and that the defensive attention funneled toward Victor Wembanyama will open the floor for Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and De'Aaron Fox in exactly the ways that have made this Spurs team so dangerous all season. Dave agrees the spread is inflated, spots the number as high as seven on FanDuel, and leans to San Antonio plus the points while also backing the under despite a market that has pushed the total north of 221 at multiple books. The total discussion is sharp, with both guys citing under trends in game ones for both franchises and pointing out that OKC's big offensive outputs this postseason came against Phoenix and the Lakers, neither of which remotely resembles what San Antonio brings defensively. On the prop side Dave goes with Ajay Mitchell over 13 points at minus-123 on DraftKings, making the case that Mitchell has scored fewer than 14 points only once in eight postseason games and is the kind of off-brand value that separates sharp bettors from the crowd, while Munaf tracks Stephon Castle at 17 and a half given Castle's history of scoring 32, 22, 24, 19, and 20 against OKC this season. The baseball card gets the same thorough treatment across five games: the Reds-Phillies over is the consensus call with Nick Lodolo struggling badly since returning from injury and Andrew Painter's numbers even weaker than his reputation, the Orioles-Rays matchup generates a yellow flag despite Shane McClanahan's exceptional form because the line movement tells an interesting story, the Blue Jays-Yankees game produces a first-five over recommendation at four and a half with both Patrick Corbin's regression metrics and Ryan Weathers' fly-ball tendencies pointing toward early scoring, and the Dodgers-Padres game is where both guys get loudest, taking San Diego at plus-128 because Yoshinobu Yamamoto has allowed at least three earned runs in four straight starts and Michael King has been one of the better starters in the NL over the same stretch. Dave wraps up with a smart segment on weather handicapping that every baseball bettor should hear, breaking down exactly how to factor wind, temperature, humidity, and air pressure without blindly chasing overs every time conditions look favorable. Best bets to close: Dave takes the Padres run line at minus-130, Munaf fires on the Braves-Marlins under at eight and a half backing Max Meyer's breakout campaign against rookie J.R. Ritchie making his first appearance against Miami. Use promo code RISE10 at pregame.com for ten dollars off any purchase including rest-of-May all-access through May 31st.

In the latest episode of Small Market Bias, host Paul Garcia discussed the following topics: (00:47) The San Antonio Spurs took over in the second half to end the Minnesota Timberwolves' season in six games, as the Spurs won comfortably by 30 points. (04:08) Stephon Castle had the best playoff game of his career to lead the Spurs, as he, De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Victor Wembanyama, and Julian Champagnie were just too much for the Wolves' defense. (10:31) Speaking of defense, the Spurs once again made it tough for Minnesota on that end of the floor, making scoring in the paint difficult once more, while continuing to limit the Wolves on the offensive glass. (17:03) Looking ahead to the schedule for the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, where they'll face the Oklahoma City Thunder, beginning Monday, May 18.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the Cavaliers' overtime win over the Pistons. After Kenny Atkinson claimed Cleveland had the momentum in the series, Wes and Mike debate whether the Cavs are actually in control or if Detroit still has answers. Then it's time for the week's best NBA takes. Wes argues that everyone is talking about the San Antonio Spurs the wrong way. Victor Wembanyama is the headline, but Dylan Harper might be the missing piece who turns San Antonio into the NBA's next great powerhouse. Could Wemby and Harper become the best long-term duo in the league — or even the next Shaq and Kobe? Mike brings a take on why Jalen Duren's restricted free agency could become one of the most interesting storylines of the offseason. Plus, the And-1 take explains why the outrage over the Pacers losing their pick may be overblown.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and James take a deep dive into the Broncos and what we know about their schedule so far. We take a quick detour in the conversation to discuss the Nuggets not conducting a full search for the coaching and front office openings last year, and how poor their practice facility is. We return to discussing the Broncos and the pattern of the team's slow starts the past three seasons under Sean Payton. Zach shares the NFL history of how important it is for Sean Payton to win a Super Bowl in the next two seasons. Today's "Three Count" features the Vikings being interested in Broncos assistant general manager Reed Burckhardt for their general manager vacancy, the Rockies getting a close-up look at Paul Skeens after he struck out 10 batters in yesterday's game, and Dylan Harper going off in the Western Conference Semifinals for the Spurs as a rookie. Does Sean Payton have a new "pet cat" in Caleb Lohner after he popped out at Broncos rookie minicamp last week?
0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces Bruce and dedicates show #247 to "friend of the show" Scott Williams, who wore #47 for two different NBA teams during his long career. 1:10 ... The Knicks swept the 76ers in their second round series. They polished off the Sixers so quickly that they may have TOO MUCH time off before their next series which could dampen their momentum. The extended time off will help OG Anunoby who is recovering from an injury. 3:07 ... Knicks coach Mike Brown will need to conduct practices in such a way that he provides activities that help keep the team's momentum alive. 4:40 ... Brown did a great job all season using more players than former coach Tom Thibodeau which has kept his guys fresh and provided quality depth for the postseason. 8:11 ... Karl Anthony Towns has been a great performer for NY during the playoffs with his rebounding, decision making, and passing. 10:36 ... Complementary guys like Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart have been instrumental in the team's playoff run. hart is Mike brown's "Swiss Army Knife." 12:20 ... The Pistons and Cavs are tied at 2-2 in the other eastern conference second round series. Donovan Mitchell has gone "nuclear" in games 3 and 4 and he's gotten some good help from James Harden. 14:30 ... Jalen Duren has been relatively ineffective in the series against the Cavs and he needs to be more aggressive against the Cavs' bigs. Detroit also needs a big performance from Cade Cunningham in game 5 or the Cavs might be ready to finish off the Pistons in Cleveland. 18:42 ... Donovan Mitchell's 43 point explosion in game 4 places him #2 on the Cavs all time list of 40+ point playoff scorers, trailing only LeBron James. 19:19 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder finished off the Lakers in four games ... OKC won all 8 games they played against the lakers this season: 4-0 in the regular season and 4-0 in the playoffs. 20:38 .... Has LeBron James played the final game of his career? Probably not because he will want a farewell tour so fans and franchises can honor him one last time. So when he decides to retire, he'll make it known before the final season so all of that can take place. 22:42 ... Has LeBron played his final game AS A LAKER? Once again, the answer is probably "No." We feel he will retire as a Laker and eventually get a statue in LA. 26:17 ... OKC is humming on all cylinders right now. They are winning every game by large margins and their depth is beyond impressive. 28:02 ... Is the OKC layoff a danger to their momentum as we feel it is with the Knicks? 29:11 .... The Spurs/Timberwolves series got pretty chippy over the weekend and the guys discuss whether Victor Wembanyama should have been suspended for game 5 after his "flagrant 2" elbow against Naz Reid in game 4. 32:04 ... Julius Randle has not had a good series against the Spurs. Wemby's presence in the paint makes Randle's life difficult. 33:49 ... The Spurs are just scratching the surface of the team they will become. 36:17 ... Dylan Harper is a rookie who doesn't play like a rookie. He has a bit of Josh Hart in his makeup. 39:11 ... The NBA lost two members of the hoop family on Monday when Jason Collins died at the age of 47 and Brandon Clarke at age 29. Both Ross and Bruce have had long associations with the NBA and both feel that the NBA culture fosters a feeling of family even if we aren't personal friends with everyone.

In the latest episode of Small Market Bias, host Paul Garcia was joined by guest Collin Reid, where they discussed the following topics: (00:45) The San Antonio Spurs pulled away from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the fourth quarter of Game 5, where the Spurs eventually won comfortably by 29 points. The Spurs have taken a 3-2 series lead, bringing them one win away from reaching the Western Conference Finals. (07:17) It was another game in the playoffs where the Spurs played lockdown defense, holding the Wolves under 100 points and not letting anyone from Minnesota get hot on offense. (15:03) The Spurs had too many options on offense for the Wolves' defense, with Victor Wembanyama, Keldon Johnson, De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper all putting pressure on the Wolves in the paint. (22:52) Looking ahead to Game 6 on Friday in Minnesota, where the Wolves face the brink of elimination. Sign up for the newsletter at TheSpotUpShot.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Draymond Green didn't make people like him anymore after last night's appearance on Inside the NBA (5:58). The Knicks took Game 2 but lost OG Anunoby to a hamstring injury. He's questionable but Chris thinks they'll sit him on Friday and then wait and see for Sunday (13:10). Spurs evened things with Minnesota, Dylan Harper's emergence, Anthony Edwards injury, and what the Spurs did different. We'll also go into the NBA Draft Lottery and the slew of picks the Grizzlies have (24:00). Chris has a story about the music King William is listening to (53:22), there's a new ESPN NBA Mock Draft (1:13:23) and we'll talk about the new video from TMZ of Diana Russini and Mike Vrabel getting on a boat together while she's pregnant. Chris doesn't think Vrabel will survive this and won't be the Patriots coach by the start of the season (1:19:13)Host: Chris VernonContributors: Jon Roser, Devin WalkerTechnical Director: Jaylon WallaceAssociate Producer: Jena Broyles
