Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if Joe Mazzulla deserved NBA Coach of the Year and if the Cavaliers should have fired Kenny Atkinson.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 in Game 5 of their Western Conference Finals series last night, giving OKC a 3-2 series lead. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled in the game despite scoring 32 points, shooting 7-19 from the field. OKC was without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell, but found a way to win. How good is OKC? Is SGA a top 5 player all-time? Is Shai fun to watch?

Following their sweep, yesterday, the Cavaliers announced they will retain head coach Kenny Atkinson. Are the Cavs making the right decision or is this a mistake?

Yesterday, Boston Celtics' coach Joe Mazzulla was voted NBA Coach of the Year. Mazzulla received this award following a season where the Celtics overcame Jayson Tatum injury, numerous personnel changes and much more to claim the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Did Mazzulla deserve NBA Coach of the Year or was there a more worthy candidate?
