    NBA Finals Game 2 Preview, Wembanyama Under Pressure, and the Rams Super Team

    The Knicks are up 1-0 and riding a 12 game win streak, and the crew breaks down whether the Spurs can respond in a must win Game 2. Arash Markazi, Grant Mona, Beav, Mykell Mathieu, and Eric Lambkins II get into Victor Wembanyama going cold late, why he needs to live in the post, De'Aaron Fox's struggles, and the coaching edge Mike Brown holds over Mitch Johnson, with series picks from the whole panel. Then it shifts to the NFL and the Rams landing Myles Garrett, the loaded defensive line, a possible Aaron Donald return, and whether a super team on paper really wins it all.

    Game 7 Is Set in Thunder-Spurs, the Knicks Lurk & Clippers' Kawhi Crossroads

    The full crew is back as the Western Conference Finals come down to a winner-take-all Game 7 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. Arash Markazi, Grant, Mona, Timothy Parker, Mykell Mathieu, and John Browner break down a series that swung from a classic Game 1 into a string of blowouts, what SGA has to do without the whistle in his favor, and whether Victor Wembanyama is ready for this moment or still on a learning curve. From there the panel looks ahead to the New York Knicks waiting in the NBA Finals, which matchup gives us the best series, and how far this Knicks group can really go. The conversation turns local with a deep dive on the Los Angeles Clippers at a franchise crossroads: is it finally time to trade Kawhi Leonard, chase young assets, and build around a top-five pick the way OKC built its juggernaut? Plus the guys get into the upcoming NBA Draft and the Darius Acuff Jr. debate, sprinkle in some MLB and NFL talk, and settle exactly nothing in the great Dodger Stadium vs. Petco Park vs. Angel Stadium argument. There's heat, there's history, and there's the one and only John Browner not holding anything back.

    Wemby Ducked the Media, the Bat Dog Did Nothing Wrong, and the Clippers' Big Decision

    The crew is back with Arash, Grant, Beav, and David Bloom breaking down the biggest stories in sports. Victor Wembanyama skipped his postgame media obligations after a brutal Game 5 loss in the Western Conference Finals — what does that say about the face of the league? The guys debate whether winning fixes everything or if Wemby needs to face the music heading into Game 6. Then, a passionate defense of the Tulsa Drillers bat dog after Dodgers prospect Kendall George injured his knee jumping over the pup. The dog did his job. Period. Plus, Andy Pages is quietly becoming one of the best outfielders in baseball and the Dodgers needed every bit of it. And the Clippers sit at a franchise crossroads with the fifth overall pick, Kawhi Leonard trade buzz, and a chance to finally shift into a new era. Is it time to sell high on Kawhi? The whole crew weighs in. Listen live on KIRN 670 AM in Southern California, 98.5 The Bet in Las Vegas, and the Hawaii Sports Radio Network. Follow us @SportingTrib on X for the livestream.
