NBA Game 6's, NBA Finals MVP Long Shots + NL MVP
May 2: Hosts Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) and Drew (@whale_capper) dive straight into some Eastern Conference Game 6's as the Bucks look to stay alive against the Pacers as they hope to gain back their star players. Both Vaughn and Drew think that the 76ers Game 5 win was their last ditch effort, and still hold firm on Knicks to win the series. The duo then handicaps Game 1 and the series in the West of Timberwolves-Nuggets, and Drew think Minnesota could match up well against Denver and the series could go to a full 7 Games. As Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led their teams to the Second Round, they are still long shots for Finals MVP, but Drew is amazed at the long odds of a former winner. Finally, Vaughn is all in on Elly de la Cruz as NL MVP as he is off to a sizzling start and believes he can sustain his MVP caliber numbers for the rest of the season.
