The Thunder continue their dominance to take a 2-0 series lead over the Timberwolves, as Verno and Jacoby recap Game 2 and debate what it'll take for the Wolves to try to make this a series. They discuss how the Thunder's Big Three of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren performed, Julius Randle's disappearance, Mike Conley's influence, and how the Thunder exploited the Wolves defense. Next, Jacoby shares his feelings after Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers came back to take Game 1 from the Knicks. Did the Knicks collapse, or was it a matter of a hot shooting stretch from Aaron Nesmith? Is Game 2 a must-win for the Knicks?

This week, Patrick & Dave are joined by PC Tunney to continue to cover the ongoing drama that is the NBA and NHL Playoffs. In the NBA Playoffs, the New York Knicks closed the book on a surprising shellacking of the defending champion Boston Celtics. They meet the Indian Pacers in the ECF, in a resumption of a bitter rivalry, with the highest stakes possible. Out West, the Minnesota Timberwolves waited to see who would emerge from the Denver vs OKC series. In the NHL Playoffs, the guys discuss the Carolina Hurricanes' dominant thrashing of Dave's Capitals, while the city of Toronto braced itself for more disappointment. Meanwhile, Edmonton vs Dallas, in the WCF, looks to be an actual battle for the ages, on paper anyway. The guys conclude by talking about how Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose have been deemed eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. The timing of these decisions is a bit head-scratching, but the guys break it all down for you here. So TUNE IN!This week's hosts...

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by by the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore and former Mariners pitcher and host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast Bill Krueger. Puck starts off the show busting Jim's chops because he can't figure out his microphone settings and Puck is begging him to take it to a computer store. Jim and Puck spend much of their show discussing the Mariners and their sweep of the San Diego Padres. Jim argues and for good reason that Bryan Woo is now pitching like the ace of the staff and what makes the Mariners so dangerous is if they can get into the postseason their pitching can be so dominant. Puck is heading down to Bend this weekend for a baseball tournament and is annoyed with Jim that he won't be there this weekend. They react to Scottie Scheffler winning the PGA Championship and what makes him so likable. Puck celebrates the Ballard High School baseball and softball team for winning the Metro Championships in the same year! The Denver Nuggets couldn't help out Seattle and take out Oklahoma City. Puck feels it's inevitable that OKC wins the NBA championship and he can't stand to think of the reality of that happening. Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast joins Puck for his weekly visit talking Mariners baseball. How did the M's go from going 1-5 on their last home stand to sweeping the Padres in San Diego? Bill spends a lot of time talking about the Sunday performance of Bryan Woo and the overall performance of Woo for the season. Why his mechanics and delivery make him so consistent and talented. Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck?!” The Mariners proved this weekend they could be dangerous in the playoffs (1:00) Puck and Jim (56:22) Bill Krueger (1:22:51) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Conference Finals betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview features hosts Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers analyzing the 2024 NBA Conference Finals based on recent Game 7 outcomes, team trends, player performances, and betting odds. Munaf introduces the matchups, focusing on the Oklahoma City Thunder's dominant 125–93 victory over the Denver Nuggets. SGA led with 35 points, while Jalen Williams added 24. The Thunder's defense clamped down after the first quarter, and the game became one-sided by halftime. Mackenzie emphasized that this was one of the most lopsided Game 7s in NBA history and criticized analysts for underestimating OKC. SGA's playoff run is highlighted as historically elite. Mackenzie cites stats placing SGA alongside Jordan and LeBron in terms of efficiency and playoff production, calling him the true standout of this postseason. He also criticizes NBA media for not giving SGA due credit and believes the Thunder are significantly undervalued by betting markets. The hosts favor OKC in their series against the Timberwolves, recommending bets on Thunder -1.5 games (-140). They argue Minnesota's playoff path has been easier and note that OKC's defense, including players like Caruso, Dort, and Jalen Williams, is particularly effective against stars like Anthony Edwards. The conversation pivots to props, with Mackenzie suggesting Anthony Edwards under 26.5 points and Munaf recommending pivoting to Edwards' assists over 4.5, given his distribution role when facing pressure defenses. Attention then shifts to the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Pacers. The Knicks are favored (-145), and Mackenzie recalls that last year's series loss came without key players like Mitchell Robinson, who is now healthy and central to their defense. Both hosts agree the Knicks are deeper and more playoff-ready, especially with Jalen Brunson averaging nearly 30 PPG against Indiana and Karl-Anthony Towns showing breakout potential. They support a Knicks Game 1 -4 bet and consider Towns (13-1) a value pick for East Finals MVP. For Game 1 of Thunder-Timberwolves, Munaf's best bet is the under (215.5), supported by OKC's playoff pace trends and Minnesota's preference for slower half-court sets. Mackenzie agrees, noting the Thunder's short rest and defensive versatility. The episode concludes with a recap of best bets, a promo code (RIM10), and brief updates on MLB and NFL betting.

Cleveland, despite star power and awards, looked outmatched and “shell shocked.” Jokic gets love for “coaching from the floor,” controlling the game with IQ and poise. SGA shines as a rising MVP, carrying OKC with smart, two-way play. And while MPJ’s struggles are real, the crew knows Denver needs his scoring to repeat. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.
