What's Wright - Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals PREDICTIONS, Myles Garrett & A.J. Brown TRADED, Thunder MORTIFYING loss

The Herd with Colin Cowherd dives into a high-octane NBA Finals preview, framing the Knicks vs. Spurs matchup as a generational clash between two teams with vastly different playoff identities. Nick Wright argues that the Knicks' emotional and physical advantage—having avoided a grueling seven-game series—gives them a decisive edge over the Spurs, who endured a brutal, emotionally draining Game 7 against the Thunder. He highlights how Wimby’s explosive reaction to making the Finals, while admirable, may signal an emotional hangover, while the Knicks’ understated composure suggests mental resilience. The episode also dissects the Thunder’s collapse, attributing it not to injuries alone but to a systemic flaw: Oklahoma City’s roster, built for regular-season dominance, lacks the playoff grit to sustain high-leverage pressure. Wright and guest Ty Butler debate whether the Thunder can rebuild around SGA and Chet Holmgren, with Wright skeptical of a 'run it back' strategy. The show then shifts to NFL trades, praising the Rams’ acquisition of Myles Garrett as a bold, high-risk move that could make them Super Bowl favorites, while questioning whether Cleveland regrets the deal. The Patriots’ trade for A.J. Brown is deemed a smart, medium-risk upgrade, though it raises concerns about offensive balance.
