As the final week of April is here, so is the latest podcast that’s packed with plenty of sports chatter for the casual or diehard fan. On deck:
(4:15) Is the sky falling in Boston? The Miami Heat set a team record with 23 three point shots made in a Game 2 win to even the series at 1. Should Celtics fans (like yours truly) be concerned or worried after what we witnessed last night? The Sixers and Lakers face must wins in a Game 3 tonight, where Philadelphia didn’t get the whistle at the end of the game vs. the Knicks and lost a heartbreaker in Game 2. The Lakers also suffered a gut punch, up 20 in the second half, lose at the buzzer on a shot by Jamal Murray. Can the Sixers and Lakers get back in the series? I’ll take a look at how Indiana and Dallas have drawn even and could they win against the Bucks and Clippers, respectively. What’s going on with the Suns as they go back to the Valley down 0-2 themselves? I’ll uncover all that’s happened in this first round to date and look ahead as to how the weekend will take shape.
(29:31) Are the top seeded Dallas Stars in trouble? It doesn’t help that you lose the first two games at home vs. the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights. Can they get back to Dallas even or home with at least one win? I’ll check in on the Toronto-Boston series as the Bruins are up 2-1. Do I have to get into the Capitals-Rangers as that looks to be a sweep by New York? The Islanders blew another third period lead and a chance to go back to UBS Arena tied at 1, but the Hurricanes prevailed looking to dispose the Isles in four games. How about the Florida Panthers? They won a huge Game 2 vs. their in-state rival Lightning. Then you have three series out West that are tied (Colorado-Winnipeg, LA-Edmonton & Nashville-Vancouver) as the Stanley Cup Playoffs are off to a wonderful start.
(45:50) NFL fans rejoice as the Draft takes place in Detroit tonight. I’ll give insight on what the top of the draft could look like, who may move up, trade down, which QB will go where and even what my beloved Steelers will do?
(56:20) As for baseball, it’s been rather quiet this week. If the big item to discuss is umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejecting Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Monday, you know it’s been low key since we last met on Monday. I’ll peek at what the latest is in MLB and look ahead to matchups over the weekend.
