The guys are back to preview game 7! The Pacers refuse to go home. We break down Indiana’s dominant Game 6, how Chet got cooked, and why the basketball gods might’ve bailed Adam Silver out. The defense was nasty, TJ McConnell turned into a demon, and yes — we’re making Game 7 predictions.
Then it’s trade season. Desmond Bane is headed to Orlando, Memphis stacks picks, and CJ has... complicated feelings about KCP. Ja Morant’s status, draft rumors, and a Cooper Flagg workout.
Ace Bailey drama? We’re on it. Wemby’s monk arc? Covered. Luka and international hoops? You already know. We talk San Antonio vibes, who should go 3rd, and whether the Sixers are getting played.
Plus: Paige heats up, the Aces are sliding, and the Commissioner’s Cup might be cursed. Trivia, fake ads, and a surprise announcement in Post-Game Popcorn — this one’s loaded.
