The New York Knicks made a stunning decision this week, firing coach Tom Thibodeau just weeks after their Eastern Conference Finals appearance—was it justified, or a panic move that could derail their progress? Peter Klein dives into the risks and ripple effects of this shakeup, then shifts to a 2025 NBA Finals preview where Oklahoma City’s suffocating defense meets Indiana’s high-octane offense. Later, he separates National League contenders from pretenders (Cubs rising, Mets regressing) and delivers sharp CFL East win total projections (Ticats’ sleeper potential, Argos’ looming regression). A must-listen for fans who crave analysis without the hot takes.

It was a massive night in the Stanley Cup and NBA Playoffs, and I'm breaking it all down!

🏒 The Oilers finally looked like a contender. The Leafs and Jets? Still searching. I dig into what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next for Canada’s teams.

🏀 The NBA Draft Lottery is fueling conspiracy theories again (I get it!), but I explain why the league probably isn’t rigged… plus, what this lottery result means for teams like the Mavs, Jazz, and Raptors.

💥 Then it's back to the hardwood: OKC proves they’re grown, the Celtics face a serious blow, and Boston’s title window might be closing fast.

If you’re a fan who wants real talk without the hot takes, you’re in the right place.
