The NBA Conference Finals are here and Infamously Speaking breaks it all down! The Oklahoma City Thunder dismantle the defending champs, the New York Knicks send Boston home, and the matchups are set: Thunder vs Timberwolves and Knicks vs Pacers.

We debate whether Jalen Brunson is already a Knicks legend, if SGA is the best player left in the playoffs, and what went wrong with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Plus, bold predictions, key X-factors, and who we think is heading to the NBA Finals.

If you love NBA playoff talk, hot takes with context, and real basketball conversation, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
