Biggest Questions for Game 3 of the NBA Finals & Is There Really Only One Giannis Team? Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

The NBA Finals shift to Madison Square Garden with the New York Knicks holding a surprising 2-0 lead over the San Antonio Spurs. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize each bring their biggest question heading into Game 3. Can the Spurs make a meaningful adjustment to slow down Jalen Brunson and steal momentum back in the series? Or are the Knicks proving they’re simply the better team? The crew examines Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ supporting cast and what San Antonio must do to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole.

Then, the conversation turns to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the latest trade buzz. With Miami continuing to be linked to Giannis, is there actually a robust market for him, or is the Heat the only destination that truly makes sense? The guys debate what’s real and what’s noise. Finally, it’s time for NBA Text Snooping, where Wes, Matt and Haize imagine the texts being sent around the league. What is Giannis telling his agent? What’s happening in the Thunder group chat after another disappointing playoff exit? And what might Kevin Durant be texting as the offseason begins?

Does Karl-Anthony Towns BREAK Wembanyama and the Spurs Defense? | NBA Finals Game 2 Matchup Preview Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

The NBA Finals continue tonight with a pivotal Game 2 between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, and both teams have major adjustments to consider. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize start with the Spurs’ side of the equation. Should Victor Wembanyama be featured earlier in possessions? Does De’Aaron Fox need a bigger role after a quiet Game 1? And what should San Antonio do defensively with Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and New York’s pick-and-roll attack?

Then the conversation shifts to the Knicks. KAT only attempted 15 shots in Game 1 despite being viewed by many as the series’ biggest matchup problem for San Antonio. Should New York make him a larger focal point, or simply trust Jalen Brunson’s late-game magic? The crew also discusses whether Brunson’s clutch heroics are sustainable and what adjustments New York still needs to make despite taking a 1-0 lead. Finally, the guys have some fun with the viral NBA game 82-0 and put their fantasy superteams on trial in the "82-0 Court of Law."

Game 1 Reactions: Jalen Brunson Overlooked? Spurs' Game 2 Adjustments, Second-Most Clutch Player and More Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

The New York Knicks are three wins away from a championship after taking Game 1 of the NBA Finals over the San Antonio Spurs. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down Jalen Brunson’s fourth-quarter takeover and ask whether he was overlooked heading into the Finals despite one of the most impressive playoff runs in recent memory. Brunson is averaging 27 points and 6 assists during the postseason and once again delivered when the Knicks needed him most.

Then, the crew shifts to the Spurs’ perspective. Victor Wembanyama will get his opportunities, but how important is it for De’Aaron Fox to bounce back in Game 2? What adjustments should San Antonio make after dropping the opener? Plus, it’s Make It/Take It: Are the Knicks proving that teams don’t have to build through the draft? If Brunson is the NBA’s most clutch player, who comes next? And which remaining head coaching vacancy is the best job in basketball? Finally, Adam Silver’s latest comments on tanking raise a bigger question: did fans normalize tanking, or did organizations?
