Never Overreact To Game 1: Wolves Shock Spurs + Knicks, Pistons, Thunder Handle Business
5/6/20261 hr 11 min
Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Vince Goodwill to react to the Pistons getting the job done against the Cavs in Game 1 and how Cleveland needs much more from Mitchell and Harden. Then, Tim MacMahon joins to discuss the Knicks historically dominant win over the 76ers including if we will see a very different Philadelphia team in Game 2. Next, we discuss the epic Game 1 in San Antonio before breaking down if the Spurs are in danger and what is so special about this Wolves team. Finally, we tackle how OKC’s ‘imperfect’ performance was still enough to take down LA and react to Masai Ujiri's consequential introductory press conference in Dallas.
