The Ringer NBA Show Podcast

After falling to Tyrese Haliburtons miracle shot with 0.3 seconds left in Game 1, the Thunder bounced back in a major way in Game 2 with a dominant victory thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders 34-point effort. What was the difference from Game 1 to Game 2, and which team has control going forward in this series? Haliburton hasn't had a dominant series, even though he did hit the game-winner in Game 1. How should he be putting his stamp on the Finals? Has the NBA dropped the ball on the presentation of the Finals, or is this just yet another online complaint ? Who will be the Knicks' next head coach? Did the Knicks fire Thibs without any real plan? Is current Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd a viable option? Howard relives the moment Kobe threw Shaq the alley-oop in the 2001 Western Conference finals, and the guys go through a loaded mailbag!

Tom Thibodeau was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the New York Knicks after the team made a conference finals run for the first time in 25 years. Logan Murdock and Howard Beck react to the news and try to figure out what ultimately led to Thibs's firing after having a fairly successful run and bringing the Knicks out of mediocrity? Can a new coach improve the team, or do they still have to make changes to the roster in order to compete?

Then, throw out your big-market biases: There are two very exciting teams in the NBA Finals! Logan and Howard preview the matchup and discuss whether the way the Thunder and Pacers' rosters are constructed is how team-building should be.

Plus, 'Inside the NBA' has officially ended at Turner and will move to ESPN. Logan and Howard are joined by Bryan Curtis and Joel Anderson of The Press Box to discuss the transition and what the show will look like. The guys also discuss their favorite moments from the show.
