In this intense and reflective episode of Off The Screen, the crew dives into a dramatic NBA Finals showdown that capped off a thrilling season. The hosts dissect the rollercoaster Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder, lauding it as an instant classic filled with grit, comebacks, and heartbreak.They spotlight Indiana's underdog run, noting how the Pacers, despite injury setbacks—most notably Tyrese Haliburton's untimely exit—pushed the juggernaut OKC squad to the brink. Rick Carlisle's controversial rotation decisions, especially sitting Pascal Siakam during key stretches, come under scrutiny. The hosts argue that coaching strategy, more than individual player failures, may have cost the Pacers a title.Discussion also shifts to the broader impact of the series. From viewership spikes to fan engagement, the episode underscores how two small-market teams delivered one of the most compelling Finals in recent memory. The guys get philosophical on the injuries that plagued stars like Lillard, Tatum, and Haliburton—all wearing #0—and joke about a “Gilbert Arenas curse.”Looking ahead, they debate the implications of NBA salary cap rules, the looming second apron penalties, and whether stars like Jokic could realistically be moved in future financial crunches.Candid, chaotic, and passionate, this episode celebrates what made this postseason unforgettable—unpredictability, passion, and legacy-defining moments.

Jerry starts with the Pete Alonso HR as the Mets beat the Dodgers. He hit another later in the game. Griffin Canning had another great outing. The Yankees were shutout by Cleveland. Gilbert Arenas went after Karl-Anthony Towns and it was mean spirited. Pacers Head Coach Rick Carlisle thought the Thibs firing was a ‘fake A-I thing'. Sal Licata was not happy with the Thibs firing and was screaming about past coaches. Dan Dakich called Sal, ‘some media douche bag in New York'. He also called NYC and MSG a ‘dump'. Michelle Beadle found out she was being replaced by Stephen A. Smith with very little notice. And the Oilers beat the Panthers in OT to take game 1.

The Knicks' coaching search is narrowing, with Rick Pitino emphasizing the immense pressure facing the new hire. Jeff Van Gundy is a strong candidate, while Mike Malone is reportedly out. In other sports news, Pete Alonso homered twice in the Mets' win, the Yankees were shut out, and there's drama with Gilbert Arenas criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns, and a public spat between Sal Licata and Dan Dakich over the Thibs firing.

Hour 1 The Knicks' coaching search is narrowing, with Rick Pitino emphasizing the immense pressure facing the new hire. Jeff Van Gundy is a strong candidate, while Mike Malone is reportedly out. In other sports news, Pete Alonso homered twice in the Mets' win, the Yankees were shut out, and there's drama with Gilbert Arenas criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns, and a public spat between Sal Licata and Dan Dakich over the Thibs firing. Michelle Beadle was replaced by Stephen A. Smith with little notice, and the Oilers took Game 1 against the Panthers in overtime. Hour 2 The Knicks' coaching situation continues to dominate discussion, with Rick Pitino advising Karl-Anthony Towns to reduce his body fat. Callers drew parallels to the Yankees' successful transition from Buck Showalter to Joe Torre, hoping for a similar outcome for the Knicks. In other sports, the Mets defeated the Dodgers with Pete Alonso hitting two home runs, while the Yankees were shut out by the Guardians. Rick Pitino also weighed in on Aaron Judge, calling him a "Babe Ruth type player," and expressed shock at the Thibs firing, a sentiment echoed by Adam Schein and Chris Russo—the latter misnaming Leon Rose as "Leon Hess." The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Off the field, comedian Jeff Garlin reportedly refused to perform at an event due to an $800 cash dispute. Finally, a caller suggested Juan Soto's improved performance is simply due to him enjoying the game, rather than a Mets/Yankees rivalry. Hour 3 Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, joined the show to discuss Fanatics Fest happening later this month at the Javits Center. In sports updates, the Mets beat the Dodgers with Juan Soto walking three times and Pete Alonso hitting two homers, while Griffin Canning had another strong start. The Yankees were shut out by Cleveland. We heard an uncomfortable clip of Dave Portnoy yelling at Kirk Minihane, and Michelle Beadle reacted to being replaced by Stephen A. Smith on their SiriusXM show. The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime. Off the field, Wayne Gretzky was trying to understand Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club." Finally, the discussion turned to MLB's new rule allowing two ball/strike challenges per team starting next season, with concern that it might slow down games after successful efforts to speed them up. Hour 4 The show discussed the Fanatics Fest event, where everyday individuals can compete against professional athletes, detailing the various challenges. Saquon Barkley made headlines with a surprising comment about a potential sudden retirement. Jerry's final update covered the Mets beating the Dodgers behind two Pete Alonso home runs, and the Yankees being shut out by Cleveland. Rick Carlisle thought the Knicks' Thibs firing as a "fake A-I story," leading to a humorous debate about whether Stephen A. Smith or Chris Russo would prefer to be President or Head Coach of the Knicks. The Oilers defeated the Panthers in overtime to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The "Moment of The Day" involved Gio mispronouncing "unkillable" as "unlikeable" when referring to BT's podcast. The show concluded with a discussion of the NBA's reaction to the Thibs firing.
