Podcast appearances and mentions of Howard Beck

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. What's the fallout in this trade for both teams and the larger picture for the NBA as a whole?

After falling to Tyrese Haliburton's miracle shot with 0.3 seconds left in Game 1, the Thunder bounced back in a major way in Game 2 with a dominant victory thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 34-point effort. What was the difference from Game 1 to Game 2, and which team has control going forward in this series? Haliburton hasn't had a dominant series, even though he did hit the game-winner in Game 1. How should he be putting his stamp on the Finals? Has the NBA dropped the ball on the presentation of the Finals, or is this just yet another online complaint ? Who will be the Knicks' next head coach? Did the Knicks fire Thibs without any real plan? Is current Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd a viable option?

The Nuggets took Game 1 in Oklahoma City thanks to a late-game 3 from Aaron Gordon, but the big topic of discussion was whether the Thunder should have fouled when they were up three late in the game and Jokic was off the floor.
