Cancun, a city in Mexico, is widely referenced when NBA teams get eliminated in the playoffs. Golden State's 2024-25 season ended on May 14 as the Minnesota Timberwolves wrapped their Western Conference semifinal series in five games.

On the other hand, the Knicks are currently in a 0-2 hole vs. the Indiana Pacers in the East finals after dropping both games at home. The best-of-seven series shifts to Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Games 3 and 4 on Sunday and Tuesday.

Towards the end of the TNT show, Green revealed that he wouldn't be part of the coverage in Indianapolis.
