The Phanatic
Third Eye Kai continues to manipulate his media pawns in the offseason chess game, but he's not the only point guard with an agenda; John Wall's defied the CBA by hopping aboard the Clipper's ship. After taking a victory lap at news of the Charlotte Hornets' family reunion, the Illuminati are joined by Truth Teller Yaron Weitzman of Fox Sports, who shares details from his exclusive interview with NBA powerbroker Michael Rubin now that he has been liberated from his 'impractical' ownership stake in the Philadelphia 76ers.

Through The Wire
As we bid farewell to Parade 4 Klay and his championship hat, it’s time to welcome in the NBA’s misdirection season. Third-Eye Kai Irving is sending out cryptic tweets to kick off Draft week and the Illuminarmy generals decrypt it for the masses. Who's really pulling the Strings in Brooklyn? Then B/R’s newsbreaker Jake Fischer joins us for Truth Tellers and expands our minds with trade rumors and the truth behind league spin-cycling. And lastly, Tom Did His Own Research about draft intel they don’t want you to know about, which quickly turns into Amin’s Inconvenient Truth.

Zero Chill
As the Warriors push the Celtics to the brink of elimination, Steph Curry pushes the media to the brink of denying him his deserved Finals MVP. While the mainstream are distracted by these petty squabbles, the Illuminati turn back the clock to a simpler time. The year was 2014. Tom and Amin were a couple of naive, two eyed journalists covering the Heat/Spurs championship rematch, until a broken air conditioner changed everything. With the help of objective observers Izzy Gutierrez and Dan McCarney, we unveil our list of suspects in this conspiratorial whodunit.

The Snyder Cut
As we do every week on this show, it's time to run it back, Pat Riley style. First we pull back the curtain on the conversation everyone's talking about -- Draymond Green avoiding ejection in Game 2 while putting pressure on the officials as well as the Celtics, declassifying some data on the referees involved that will pry open your third eye. Then this week's Truth Teller is fearless NBA beat writer Andy Larsen from the Salt Lake Tribune, who CAAndidly connects the dots on Donovan Mitchell's unsettlement with Quin Snyder stunning, completely unexpected resignation.

Strus Tellers
With the NBA Finals on the horizon, the Illuminati turn back the clock all the way to their first two episodes when a three pointer disappears due to the law of conservation of points. Darvin Ham is the new coach of the Lake Show, what does this mean for our favorite soap opera Doc & Daryl? With the Celtics and Warriors harvesting the bounty of their locally sourced, home grown talent, is the Super Team an endangered species? Was Max Strus' foot out of bounds? And who reviews the reviewer? We're just asking questions...

Highly Questionable
As the Doc Hollywood rumors continue to swirl, we ask our Illuminarmy not to fall for the agenda-driven narratives about Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, while Amin shares an Inconvenient Truth about fraudulent injury reports. Finally, we investigate the NBA’s latest press release bragging about its referee technology with the help of Truth Telling officiating experts Shelley Russi and Don Vaden of Thirdside Coaching.
