SVP and Stanford Steve are back to discuss a great game 7 between the Spurs and Thunder. Wemby is the story, but his supporting cast was incredible. The guys make sure to give Champagnie, Johnson, Vassell, Harper and Castle their credit as San Antonio reaches its first Finals in 12 years. Shai played lights out, but the same thing can't be said for Chet. What should the Thunder do there? Plus, Shai's demeanor and words after the game were great, and that should be applauded. The guys also preview the Stanley Cup Final, discuss the Knicks-Spurs matchup and Steve gives a lengthy NCAA baseball tournament update.
