BASKETBALL WAS SAVED, the Finals & Stanley Cup are set, SGA Exposed & Champs League | Full Episode 17

The NBA Finals are officially set, and somehow the basketball gods gave us exactly what they wanted: Knicks vs. Spurs, a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals and the NBA Cup Final all rolled into one. This week, we break down how New York finally punched its ticket back to the Finals for the first time in 27 years, whether Jalen Brunson is already the greatest Knick of all time, and what the Knicks need to do to bring a championship back to Madison Square Garden. On the other side, the Spurs survived a seven-game war with Oklahoma City as Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio continue one of the most improbable runs in recent memory. We discuss SGA's shocking drop-off after winning MVP, Chet Holmgren becoming public enemy number one on the show, and whether the NBA Cup suddenly carries more legitimacy now that its two finalists are meeting again on basketball's biggest stage. Beyond the hardwood, we react to Arsenal's heartbreaking Champions League collapse, preview a Stanley Cup Final showdown between Vegas and Carolina, debate the best ballpark experience in baseball, discuss MLB's proposed salary cap battle that could change the sport forever, and laugh at the Yankees scoring 13 runs in one inning before completely forgetting how to score again. Plus, Luke Kornet earns an "About It," Daryl Morey lands in "Not About It," we spotlight French Open breakout star Moise Kouamé, and wrap things up with random thoughts on horror movies and hotel smells.

We get into why this team is firing on all cylinders right now, whether Jalen Brunson is already the greatest Knick ever, and what happens to this core if New York comes up short. From there, we shift to Spurs-Thunder being tied 2-2 after San Antonio’s dominant Game 4 win, why OKC can be such a brutal watch despite having so much talent, and how the foul-baiting keeps getting in the way of a team that should not need it. Then we move to the NHL, where the Avalanche are shockingly down 3-0 and the Canadiens have once again found themselves in an absolute battle of a series. Later, MLB Quick Hits turns into full Yankees frustration, Aaron Judge carrying an entire offense, Jacob’s Mets take aging terribly after getting swept by the Marlins, and the long list of disappointing AL teams. Plus Arsenal finally winning the Premier League after 22 years and some Knicks-Arsenal similarities, before getting into our About It/Not About It of the week.

The Hillside Club is back again, and the boys start this week off with the New York Knicks doing something that feels insane: SWEEPING a team. We get into how far this franchise has come, why Jalen Brunson has completely saved Knicks basketball, KAT racking up assists, OG getting rest, and why Knicks fans should feel hope. We also bounce around the NBA Playoffs with Wemby getting ejected, and the Wolves even the series while Cleveland stays perfect at home, and Harden giving everyone vintage chaos late. Then we get into Lakers-Thunder, where the series has turned into a ref conversation, the Lakers keep blowing halftime leads, and OKC remains great but miserable to watch. Then we get back into playoff hockey with Carolina sweeping a Flyers team that stunk, Minnesota getting on the board, Montreal looking like Canada’s best hope to end the Cup drought, and Ducks-Vegas waiting to explode. Later, Clubhouse Callout tees up PGA Championship picks at Aronimink, with both Rob and James rocking with Scottie and throwing Keegan Bradley in as a dark horse, before we react to the NBA Draft Lottery.

The Hillside Club is back again and the boys start this week off starting with a tribute to John Sterling, a voice that felt like home for generations of Yankees fans and one that will always be remembered in the baseball world. From there, we dive straight into the NBA Playoffs, where the Magic blowing a 3-1 lead turns into a full Jamahl Mosley conversation, and if he deserved to get fired. From there we hit how Embiid somehow drags Philly back from the dead, and the Celtics blowing a 3-1 lead proves once again that they are painfully stuck in their ways.

Then we get back into playoff hockey with Montreal pulling off a wild Game 7 road win on just 9 shots, Minnesota knocking off Dallas before fireworks with Colorado, Carolina looking ready to handle Philly, and major trouble brewing in Edmonton. Later, Clubhouse Callout turns into full Knicks-Sixers chaos with RP3 and Randy calling for Philly talk, Embiid and KAT’s old beef resurfacing, Knicks fans being everywhere no matter what ticket restrictions say, and why New York can win this series in five if they keep running everything through KAT.
