Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello preview Steve’s latest “13 Rules” NBA thoughts as the 2025–26 playoffs near the conference finals. They debate the controversial no-call at the end of Cavs–Pistons Game 5, noting Thompson appeared fouled and discussing officiating, “superstar calls,” and Tony Brothers’ decision. They assess the Knicks after sweeping the Sixers, with Steve saying Detroit would be a tougher matchup than Cleveland and predicting Knicks in six vs Pistons or five vs Cavs, while warning New York could start flat after a long layoff. Steve picks Detroit to win Game 7, depending on pace and whistles. In the West, Jose picks the Spurs over defending champion Thunder, while Steve favors Oklahoma in six and discusses Wembanyama’s impact and injury concerns. They close with offseason speculation on LeBron’s Lakers future, Giannis’ contract/trade risk, and whether teams should prefer Giannis over Kawhi Leonard.
