Game 1 tonight

Mike Gill and Todd Ranck open today's show with a preview of tonight's NBA Finals Game 1 from Oklahoma City, OK.  LeBron James has the M.V.P.'s, while Kevin Durant has the NBA scoring titles.  Is it just going to be LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant for the NBA Championship?  Todd Ranck says "of course not, but in the 4th quarter it will be."  The guys then debate the defensive game plans for both teams, wondering who will guard Russell Westbrook for the Heat and who will guard Chris Bosh for the Thunder?  NBA Finals Game 1 is tonight at 9:00 est on ABC and 97.3 ESPN FM


 

Bob Cooney talks Thorn

Philadelphia Daily News beat writer Bob Cooney called in and gave us more details on the Sixers searching for a Rod Thorn replacement.  He said no matter what happens, this upcoming season will be the final season Thorn has in charge of the team.  He doesn't believe there is a "power struggle" between Thorn and Collins, rather they all have their opinions and are working together.  Current San Antonio Spurs executive Danny Ferry is listed as a favorite to land the job.  Follow Bob Cooney on Twitter.

Mike Vick ranked too low in Top 100?

Just like Mike Vick, Mike Gill has a problem with where Vick is ranked in the NFL Network Top 100 list.  Remember that this is a list that includes Peyton Manning, a QB who didnt play last year and had four neck surgeries.  Peyton's brother, Eli, is ranked No. 31.  Gill wants to know: is Eli Manning almost 40 spots better than Mike Vick?  Does Vick deserve to be ranked higher than a young Cam Newton?  How about Matthew Stafford?  View the incomplete list.
