On today's final episode of the season, Skeets and I breakdown the series clincher for the Los Angeles Lakers. Why the letdown for Orlando? Did Stan Van use his guards correctly? Will Kobe finally get his props? Was this series a disappointment for Dwight? We also take some time to thank you, our fans, and discuss the summer plans for TBJ.

On today's show, Tas and I discuss why Rafer Alston didn't see any action after the 3rd, if there was a reason Lewis was off his game, whether Dwight has proved he's not a superstar in these Finals, and what happened to the Magic's execution after halftime.

On today's show, Skeets and I ask a lot of questions: Can the Lakers justifiably say Orlando won't shoot 62.5% again? Did Lamar Odom forget to eat his Sour Kids? Would Kobe would ever want to coach? All that, and we'll get in to the death of the skyhook, the re-birth of Alston and the minor trade between Philly and Toronto.

On today's show, Skeets and I wonder when the Orlando backcourt will show up, we refuse to blame Courtney Lee, we give a large pat on the back to Stan Van Gundy, and try and help settle an 'adults only' wager.

On today's show, Tas and I examine if Jameer Nelson played too much, why the Magic shot under 30%, if writers can start scribing about Kobe's new found legacy, and why the hell Shaq tweeted that picture.

On today's show, Skeets and I look ahead to the NBA Finals: Will Jameer Nelson be a negative or positive? Can Dwight Howard dominate the same way he did against Cleveland? Is this Kobe Bryant's redemption series? All that and we take a couple emails and also hand out some prizes.

On today's show, Tas and I discuss if the Magic should just get the ball out of LeBron's hands, wonder what happens to the Cavs' offense as the game progresses, thank Coach Brown for finally thinking of Boobie, and we also hand out our Wanker Of The Week.

On today's show, Tas and I marvel at what could be Dwight's coming out party, fantastic officiating (in all seriousness) and the game winner we all expected to go down for LeBron. We also touch on Mo Williams' verbal mistake, Mike Brown's puzzling moves and Dwight versus Shaq at the free throw line.

On today's show, Skeets and I discuss whether Phil Jackson should be blamed for his team's poor effort, if he was sending a message to his starters in the 4th, whether the Kobe and LeBron commercials will survive past this round, and which 'In Living Color' Fly Girl was most memorable.
