Ti gives us his breakdown of Game 6, and how Giannis surpassed everyones expectations throughout the Finals. Giannis has cemented his legacy for all time for signature plays like his alley oop and block in Game 5, and his average of 35+ points per game. As if we need to say it again, but GO BUCKS!

Bucks put the headlights on Phoenix
Giannis meant BUSINESS. From showing up in the all black Air Force 1’s, to having another 40+ point night, it was all Milwaukee in Game 3. On the other end, Devin Booker had a quiet night with only 10 points, and CP put on another showing with 19 points and 9 rebounds.
Fueling our #burnertake segment where we answer some of your hot takes, who would win the NBA Finals MVP, Giannis or CP? If Milwaukee pulls out Game 4, could it be Bucks in 6?! The NBA Finals are heating up, and we are here for it.

The NBA is destination scandal
The NBA Playoffs continue as Giannis and Middleton win game 3, and the Suns are one win away from the NBA finals.
But, the real conversation around the NBA is the recent head coaching hires. Chauncey Billups to Portland and Jason Kidd to the Mavericks. The one person who deserves to be a head coach, who has been snubbed time in and time out, is Becky Hammon. Hammon has been under Greg Popovich and the Spurs since 2014. So what gives NBA?
Dame may also be on his way out of Portland after Blazer fans have been coming at him for recruiting Billups. Portland, what are you thinking? Dame has been loyal to the city his entire career, and this is how you repay him? There is just so much to cover in this all new episode of Burners and Basketball!

Philly is the city of brotherly hate - against Ben Simmons
Well, something needs to change in Philly. Ben Simmons isn’t the answer, he is no longer part of the process.
Whether it was the missed free throws, or Simmons inability to take the ball to the basket, the Sixers blew another season for Joel Embiid. Doc and Joel both sounded off against Simmons in their post game press conference. Where does this leave Philly going into next season? What pieces need to be moved around?
The Hawks now take on the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals while Phoenix took game 1 in the Western Conference Finals against the Clippers.

Dare we say, Molly should fight Jake Paul
Why is the NBA plagued by injury?! Molly and Adam are back as the NBA Playoffs continue, and right after the Brooklyn Nets suffer another injury. This time it’s Kyrie Irving, and a sprained ankle that has no timetable for a return. With the Bucks playing the best basketball of their year, Kevin Durant seems doomed in his mission to carry the Nets on to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Suns sweep the Nuggets and NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic and are full steam ahead. Is Chris Paul the greatest point guard of all time? After helping to carry the Suns to their first Western Conference Final in over a decade, CP seems to be in the conversation.
Molly faces off with none other than Jake Paul. It seems the social media fighter can’t take the heat from Molly. We are waiting on word from the Paul team, and will be sure to update all of you when the bout is scheduled.

The NBA Playoffs have entered into the second round.
The Mavericks couldn’t hold off Playoff P and Kawhi off in Game 7, LeBron was eliminated in the first round for the first in his career, and Portland takes yet another brutal playoff loss. What will need to happen in the off season for these teams? Will the Blazers shake things up by shipping CJ McCollum out of Portland? The Nets continue to push towards the Finals as the front runners, while James Harden is ruled out of Game 2. It’s always tough to see your exes do well, and it couldn’t be worse for Detroit fans with Blake Griffin

Playoff games ARE NOT a carnival
If you go to an NBA Playoff game, please respect the players. We are angered and frustrated to see the players having bottles, popcorn, and racist insults hurled in their direction. At the end of the day, these are people too. The players allow us to have fun watching the game, and they deserve our respect.
The Jazz take a series lead over the Grizzlies, Trae Young silences Knicks fans, Luka Docic gets shut down by the Clippers in Game 4, and the Lakers almost have their backs against the wall. The playoff race is already heated in the first round. Who will advance and who will be eliminated? Molly and Adam give their take, and discuss Molly getting in trouble on Twitter.

Game 1’s of the NBA Playoffs, and the Grizzlies are the MAIN character
After all of our predictions and hot takes, the NBA playoffs are finally here. Game 1’s across the board got us fired up, and have set the stage to have an incredible playoff series going forward.
Trae young iced the Knicks last night as he drove to the basket for a game winner with one second left. Julius Randle went 6 for 24 begging the question, will he show up for Game 2?
Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have not been shy following their Game 1 loss that the referee’s are attempting to “screw” them, and TNT goes after Rudy too.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE FIRED, PER LEBRON
Everything is recorded, everything. With the Lakers a lock in the play-in tournament, we think King James might be regretting his tweet that whoever came up with this idea should be fired. Not only did he say it would be a smart decision last year, it is the only thing keeping him in the playoff hunt.
Adam and Molly break down one of the funnest matchups over the weekend. Ja Morant vs Anthony Edwards. Edwards is turning into a budding star in the league, fixing his consistency issue, and always showing himself as one of the funnest personalities in the league.
