Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Beck are back with another edition of Real Ones and review the Game 1 action from the Wolves-Spurs and Sixers-Knicks. Despite Victor Wembanyama’s historic night, the Spurs lost game one on their home floor. Have we been sleeping on the Wolves? The Knicks crushed the Sixers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semis, but is there a bright side for the Sixers? Plus, the guys discuss Jaylen Brown’s comments on his Twitch stream about officiating in the first round of the playoffs against the Sixers.
