Logan is joined by Oklahoma native and Thunder fan Tyler Parker to discuss the dismantling that was Game 6. The Thunder looked great in the very early portion of the game, but things unraveled for them very quickly. What did the Pacers do to make the high-powered Thunder offense look pedestrian. Has the media overdone it with player comps after OKC's Jalen Williams was getting compared to Scottie Pippen? Is there a world where TJ McConnell could be the Finals MVP? If the Thunder lose on Sunday, could this shake up their very young core similar to the past with Durant, Harden and Westbrook?

JD discusses how Matt Duschene's contract extension in Dallas should be viewed here in Toronto (00:00). JD then shifts focus to the NBA Finals and brings on Sportsnet's Michael Grange (12:00) to get into the Indiana Pacers forcing a Game 7. JD and Grange discuss Pascal Siakam's case for Finals MVP, if Siakam has more love in Canada then Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, TJ McConnel's allure, the keys in Game 7, and the Raptors' chase for a star. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.  

In today's Buy or Sell, Bill answers if he was bummed that Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes did not face off against each other, if there are certain instances where athletes going after fans is justified, if there is concern with Shedeur Sanders' second speeding ticket, if Adrian Peterson is one of the former athletes you'd least like to fight, if the Pacers winning the NBA Finals would be the biggest upset in history and if TJ McConnell has a chance to win Finals MVP.

Also: ESPN's All-Quarter Century Team features only “1.5” Texans — John Lopez creates his own, and Figgy shouts out summer's unsung MVPs: landscaping crews. Speaking of MVPs, could T.J. McConnell actually take home Finals MVP? Plus, Texans OL Jarrett Patterson speaks — does it signal a true O-Line bounce back? And in Figgy's Mixtape: a Harris County PSA, an AI relationship story that gets weird, and more madness from sports and beyond.

Fresh off of minimal sleep and deadlines to meet, Logan Murdock and Howard Beck are back with another edition of 'Real Ones' from their hotel rooms in Oklahoma City. OKC's All-Star forward Jalen Williams erupted for 40 points, helping OKC to a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. What was the environment like at Paycom Center witnessing that performance? Who's currently in the lead for Finals MVP? Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton seemed to be hobbled after suffering an injury early in the game. If Haliburton isn't 100 percent healthy, do the Pacers have a shot with their backs against the wall? Plus, the Grizzlies traded Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and numerous picks.

They finished the hour with a Yeah Man, No Man -- Will SGA be the first player since Steph Curry in 2015 to win both the MVP and Finals MVP?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on JK Dobbins visiting the Broncos this week. How much will the Broncos be willing to offer Dobbins? Are the Broncos unhappy with the talent in their running back room or were they always planning on adding a veteran running back? Could Troy Franklin make a run at being the second wide receiver for the Broncos? Today’s “Three Count” includes an offer for Russell Westbrook to leave the NBA and the Nuggets to play in Europe for a “lucrative” amount of money, the shockingly low viewership numbers from game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and SGA being the biggest Finals MVP ever at -600. Should Denver sports fans feel like they should have their team’s in the NHL and NBA finals?

On today's show, we have a lot of NBA Playoffs to catch up on. Despite our best efforts, Gaber and I just couldn't connect until today, so we're gonna get in the way back machine to…     - give our Warriors' season a post-mortem…,     - as well as recap what we saw elsewhere around the conference semis, before moving on to the…     - Pacers' unlikely Eastern Conference title, and how they beat the Knicks (pace, defense, sum of the parts, etc…) as well as examine…     - the Thunders' decisive series win against the Wolves (and continued pursuit of the “dream season”, with best record, scoring champ and mvp; just need the title and a Finals MVP for Shai for the perfect season).      - Then we make our Finals predictions, preview the series and much, much more! So sit back, it's the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA today as the Finals are upon us, and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let's get rolling . . .   > If you're wondering what the intro/outro music on the show is, we lead off every episode with an amazing song by Calexico called Close Behind, and for the closing music, the same song we've used every single episode so far, a beautiful rendition of the standard I Wish You Love, performed by a group called Friends of Dean Martinez, and special thanks to Joe Burns for letting us use his music here. So as always, a shoutout to the music we love, Calexico, Friends of Dean Martinez, check it out…

The Pacers take care of business at home and are now heading to OKC for the NBA Finals and then we spend some time on the NBA Trade machine

(0:00) Leroy Irvin and Cerrone Battle begin the final hour with the Entertainment Report featuring NCAA 26 cover athlete news, movie recap of the latest installment of Mission Impossible franchise and more rumors regarding Zion Williamson. Caller engagement continues on the Giannis trade speculation. The majority share their disapproval in entertaining a Jaylen Brown for Giannis trade and criticize Cerrone for signing off on it. (15:22) Should Jaylen Brown be untouchable? Cerrone agrees with a caller's point that Jayson Tatum's numbers were worthy of Finals MVP. He highlights different secondary stars that were awarded Finals MVP and distinguishes the different levels of superstars. Battle suggests Domantas Sabonis as an attractive trade option for the Celtics. (24:24) Leroy calls out Cerrone for being in favor of a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to the Celtics. Cerrone calls out the Boston fan base for their lack of acceptance towards acquiring outside star athletes. (35:00) Irvin and Battle go to the phone lines. Does Brad Marchand deserve the Ray Bourque treatment if the Panthers win the Stanley Cup?

The boys react to a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals where the Indiana Pacers led by Tyrese Haliburton rally late to upset the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden. They discuss how big of a win this is for the Pacers and what the Knicks need to do to bounce back in Game 2. They will also give their thoughts on the Oklahoma City Thunder's blowout victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Can anyone stop the Thunder from capturing the NBA Championship this season, and will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander be the first player since LeBron James in 2013 to win League MVP, Finals MVP and an NBA Championship in the same season?
