This week the boys preview the NBA finals and make their picks for who can win it all. We also talk head coach firings after The Knicks let Tom Thibodeau walk after a conference finals appearance. Was it justified and why did they even do it in the first place? We also talk how good Scottie Scheffler has been, Angel Reese missed shots, and the Rockies being just awful at baseball.
