On today’s episode, Jason discusses how the injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell could ultimately be what prevents Oklahoma City from getting back to the NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama's continued dominance over Chet Holmgren (and the rest of the Thunder front line), and how San Antonio has managed to slow down MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in two of the four games in this series. Plus, J-Mac tells us why it's clear that this current Jalen Brunson-led New York Knicks squad is the best team in franchise history, and whether this scintillating 10-game Knicks run a sign of things to come or just a product of a watered-down Eastern Conference.
