The Knicks Push the Eastern Conference Finals to Six. Plus, What’s Missing in Minnesota? | Real Ones

Logan, Raja, and Howard open the pod with some Miami traffic talk and a debate on which NBA cities have the worst traffic. The guys then recap Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, in which the Knicks defeated the Pacers and staved off elimination. What did the Knicks do differently in Game 5 to secure victory against the Pacers? Does the duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns need to be respected more? What do both the Knicks and Pacers need to do to win Game 6? Was the Timberwolves' chemistry off in their Game 5 blowout loss to the Thunder? What’s next for the Wolves roster this offseason? What do they need to add? Plus, a loaded mailbag!
