1. BIG MEN
starts at 1:00
Five went in the first seven picks, though not necessarily in the order we would’ve taken them. Is there Tom Izzo shade? Of course.
2. B1G MEN
starts at 22:33
We run down the draftees out of the Big Ten, including Los Angeles Lakers center and LeBron James’ teammate Moe Wagner. Is there Tom Izzo shade? Of course.
3. LUKA vs. TRAE
The biggest trade of the night inextricably ties the draft’s top two lead guards together. The guess here is that’s great news for Luka Doncic and Dallas and much less so for Trae Young and Atlanta.
4. WINNERS AND LOSERS
starts at 34:33
The Mavs had a great haul even beyond Doncic. Michael Porter Jr. may be the ultimate boom/bust. As is the NBA norm, it’s better to be young and unproven than an experienced non-superstar.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS RECAP
starts at 1:00
LeBron is very good. The rest of the Cavs aren’t, especially when Kevin Love is concussed, but that didn’t quite make the difference against a Boston team that would’ve won this series handily if they had their two best players. Alas.
EAST POSTMORTEMS AND OH MY LORD WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRYAN COLANGELO
starts at 10:53
Did we talk about the Bryan Colangelo burner account mess for longer than we previewed the NBA Finals last episode? Maybe. Before that, we discuss Boston’s very bright future and give the Raptors all the time they deserve.
MICHIGAN BASKETBALL STUFF
starts at 40:34
It was a good day.

Apparently he gets shirts custom-tailored with larger than normal collars, which is kinda weird I guess. Not as weird as operating a bunch of burner accounts as a pretty public person.

1. WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS RECAP
starts at 1:00
Houston would’ve won. Then Chris Paul’s hamstring failed him and the inevitable Golden State onslaught came. Also, it probably would’ve been good not to have a historically bad shooting performance in Game 7.
2. FINALS PREVIEW
starts at 20:17
It’ll be compelling to watch LeBron face a Sisyphean task. Golden State, unfortunately, wins every other matchup on the floor. Your hosts have a heated debate over whether the Cavs win one or zero games.
3. ROCKETS POSTMORTEM
starts at 32:53
A lot of possibilities, including LeBron. One very bad Ryan Anderson contract getting in the way of a superteam, though.

Part-way through it you start hearing the home crowd just dying with every shot. This was very audible pain that I think everybody was going through. Then they cut the camera to Chris Paul.
