We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue with their Conference Finals analysis! We have two games in the chamber between the New York Knicks<\/a> and Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>. The guys discuss the Knicks’ 2-0 series lead: how they got there, the questions the Cavs will have to answer, and potential tweaks we may see moving forward. <\/p>\n

From there, the guys shift to the West to break down the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>‘s series-tying Game 2 victory over the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. They discuss the biggest storylines, adjustments from Game 1 to Game 2, and the potential counterpunches the Spurs may throw in Game 3. <\/p>\n

Finally, the guys shift to the WNBA to bounce around! They check in on the 3-2 Indiana Fever and 3-3 Toronto Tempo as they both look to establish themselves on both ends of the floor. They then share the games they’re most looking forward to over the weekend, and close with a mix of player shoutouts and a Free Throw that still has Nekias shaking his head. <\/p>\n
