The final four teams are set for the Eastern and Western Conference Finals: Knicks & Pacers in the East, and Thunder & Timberwolves in the West. Who will come out on top and make it to the Finals? In addition, there is some major action in the WNBA as well. We break down all of these and more with Coach James Young on this episode.
First up on our Tip-Off Topics, we recap Game 6 as the Knicks dominated against the defending champion Boston Celtics and take the series to move to the Eastern Conference Finals. What does this say about the Knicks and what they’ve been able to do so far in the playoffs? In addition, what’s next for the Celtics? Could pieces be moved in the offseason, especially since they will owe $500 million in luxury taxes. Also we recap Game 7 as the Thunder showed everything from both ends to mightily take down the Nuggets. What does this say about Denver? Which players could be moved to help Nikola Jokic?
Next on our Award Tour, we take a look at the series odds and prop markets for both Eastern and Western Conference Finals. Will Knicks win the series in seven games? Can Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves upset the Thunder? Only time will tell.
Lastly, on Coach’s Scouting Report, we preview both Game 1s of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals as well as both games on Tuesday in the WNBA. Coach gives a best bet for all matchups.
