We explore the different types of pressure in basketball and identify the true contending teams in the WNBA for the 2025 season.

• Basketball pressure is earned through past performance and proving oneself
• The New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, and Minnesota Lynx are the only true contending teams
• Teams like the Fever, Dream, Mercury, and Storm still need to prove themselves
• Three distinct types of pressure exist: basketball pressure, social media pressure, and casual fan expectations
• Social media pressure creates narratives like Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers to drive viewership
• Casual fan expectations often misunderstand basketball roles and specialization
• The Fever have potential but face cohesion and injury challenges

The 2025 NBA Conference Finals ended with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers advancing to the Finals, defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks respectively. We break down what went wrong for both losing teams and examine potential changes they should make to improve their championship chances.

• The Knicks need to determine if Jalen Brunson can be a true #1 option on a championship team
• Karl-Anthony Towns proved to be a solid second option but recorded zero blocks against the Pacers
• Tom Thibodeau was fired as Knicks coach - potential replacements include Chris Quinn and Jay Wright
• The Knicks should focus on better utilizing their depth and finding complementary players for their stars
• Minnesota's identity of "Anthony Edwards and defense" wasn't enough to get past OKC
• The Timberwolves must decide whether to run it back with Randle or find Edwards a more consistent co-star
• Edwards showed maturity in defeat, expressing disappointment about letting Mike Conley down
• Scottie Barnes could be an ideal running mate for Edwards - comparable to a Pippen-Jordan dynamic
• Both OKC and Indiana feature former champions (Siakam and Caruso) who bring valuable playoff experience
• The Finals begin June 5th with OKC as the slight favorite
