Panthers dominating Hurricanes (3 games to 0) and Oilers lead 2 games to 1 over Stars behind hot goal keeping from Skinner (33 saves on Sunday.) Home teams are undefeated in the NBA West Conference final while away teams are undefeated in the NBA East. Ben Griffin (who quit pre golf briefly) wins by 1 at the Charles Schwab at a tough Colonial CC over Matti Schmid. Giannis does NOT ask for a trade in meeting with the Bucks.

The guys are back for Episode 3 of the rebranded podcast, Deer Dynasty (formerly known as The Cream City Club Podcast)! Entirely focused on the Milwaukee Bucks. Please subscribe and leave a rating! Be sure to follow the podcast on Twitter @DeerDynastyPod and the hosts @smichaelis234 and @GunnerAmelunk.Topics Covered:- The Giannis meeting that never was- Will any return in a hypothetical Giannis trade feel like enough?- What do you do with Dame?- Should our outlook on the Bucks future change?- Making sure we appreciate Giannis while he's here- Random NBA Players

The Ringer's Howard Beck talks whether Cleveland should make a move or stay the course, if KD or Giannis are more likely to be traded, whether teams can still plan for 3-5 year runs under the current CBA, if Tyrese Haliburton a bully or a killer & more

Catching on some things such as the NBA draft lottery, the NFL schedule release, the Caps lost again. Tush push issue shouldn't be a thing. Giannis might be leaving Milwaukee. The NBA playoffs is interesting. On paper, the 2024 Eagles aren't a top 5 team of all-time but if the game was played in real life, I'd like their chances against most of these legendary teams. The Mystics are ahead of schedule.

On today's show, Pat, Peter Schrager, Darius Butler, and the boys are LIVE from outside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse ahead of Game 4 between the Indiana Pacers & the New York Knicks. In the first hour, we preview tonight's action, including the return to the arena by Tyrese Haliburton's dad, John Haliburton, and recap Game 4 that saw the Oklahoma City Thunder take a 3-1 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves. ESPN's Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania joined the progrum to talk all things NBA, including a prediction that this NBA offseason will be "the most craziest ever", where Giannis Antetokounmpo may end up, the allure of the Pacers organization for free agents league wide, an update on Jayson Tatum's recovery, the latest on LeBron James' player option, what's ahead for the Boston Celtics, and more. ESPN NFL Analyst & die-hard New York Knicks fan Peter Schrager also joins us to chat about what he expects tonight & in the rest of the series, what he likes about the Jaguars offseason, his sense of Jaire Alexander's standing with the Packers, and more. We are also joined by legendary Pacers fan from New York in Hans Perez, to recap everything that's happened since he was hit with a trash bag in a viral video & the whirlwind that brought him to Indianapolis for tonight's game. Make sure to subscribe to youtube.com/thepatmcafeeshow or watch on ESPN (12-2 EDT), ESPN's YouTube (12-3 EDT), or ESPN+.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hour Tua gets off to a feisty start, as Tobin and Leroy get into a heated discussion about why Liam Eichenberg is still on the team as OTA's begin today! We might need to start an anti-bullying campaign against Tobin after that segment. Tyreek Hill claims he has been in “the lab” unlike he was last season, do we think he will be here this season. Does he want to be in Miami? Our favorite Tuesday game “Damage is Done,” Giannis and the Bucks, Knicks Fans, and more F1 from Brittney!

Leroy opens with a very underwhelming story about a turtle in his pool. The crew dives into the Panthers' sluggish 3-0 loss to the Canes and whether the Cats can bounce back. It's time for Game Balls and Game Bums, plus Brittney tries (and fails) to sell Tobin on F1 — he's not here for the vroom vroom. Hour Tua gets spicy with a heated debate over why Liam Eichenberg is still on the team. Is an anti-bullying campaign against Tobin in order? Tyreek Hill says he's back "in the lab" — but is he committed to Miami? Tuesday means it's time for “Damage is Done,” with shots at Giannis, Knicks fans, and more F1. Paul Maurice drops a “shotgunning beer in church” analogy after the Panthers' loss, and we finally learn what Marchand was really eating during intermission. Tobin's Mixed Bagn hits on SGA's free throws, Ant's struggles, and Bob's wisdom. Things spiral as JFig trashes Shakira (karaoke included), and the crew argues whether “Hips Don't Lie” is bigger than any Taylor Swift song. Oh — and Dolphins are now banned from banging the Panthers' drum. Who should replace them? Plus: Alright Oh No, Memorial Day madness, JFig v. Tobin, and even more F1.

The Knicks MONSTER Comeback Gets Gil Back On The Bandwagon as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the New York Knicks overcoming another 20 point deficit in the NBA Playoffs to get back into the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers.

They then break down the game from the Indiana Pacers side as Tyrese Haliburton's clutch shots didn't fall in Game 3 leading the Gil's Arena Crew to debate if the Pacers need a true #1 option to overcome the Knicks before reacting to the news that the team will allow Haliburton's pops back into the stadium for the rest of the NBA Playoffs.
