T’wolves Edwards Face Of NBA? Kyrie/Luka vs. OKC Leads Conf Semis Preview. Stars Grit NHL 2nd Rd Preview. Phillies: Tops In MLB. Derby Winner Going To Preakness? Canelo Wins. Who Watched?

It’s another full bodied, sports rich podcast that’ll have your cup runneth over. A jam packed, hour and fifteen minute show I’m honored to deliver. On deck:

(3:59) The Conference Semifinals in the NBA and NHL have begun, but I’ll tip off with the Association to recap a few series (Knicks survive in Philadelphia. The Mavericks wrangle the Clippers. What’s next for the Clips as a long offseason looms? Indiana puts Milwaukee out to pasture. What’s the after effects of another disappointing playoff exit? And Patrick Beverley’s fate for inexplicably throwing a ball at a fan? Orlando pushes Cleveland to the brink, but Donovan Mitchell wills his team to the next round to set up a date with the top seeded Celtics. We already have one game in the books as the Minnesota Timberwolves steal the home court advantage with Anthony Edwards scoring 43 points in beating the defending champion Denver Nuggets. Is Edwards on the verge of being the ‘face’ of the NBA? I’ll preview the other series (CLE-BOS, IND-NY and DAL-OKC) as we get one step closer to crowning a champion. I’ll get into some coaching moves and what the Lakers will do after firing Darvin Ham after two years.

(34:33) On the ice, there were a couple of Game 7’s to unpack. One was thrilling and went into OT as the Bruins avoided back to back first round series ousters, delivering a gut punch to the Maple Leafs ending their season. What do the Leafs need to do to regroup? Dallas rallied back from an 0-2 deficit to hang on and beat the defending Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights at home. The Canucks dealt another tough loss to the Predators in Game 6 to advance and face the Edmonton Oilers in the next round. I’ll review the Rangers Game 1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes and preview the other three matchups (BOS-FLA, COL-DAL & EDM-VAN) as Round 2 has commenced.

(49:47) MLB has a few things cooking into the new month. The best team in baseball is not the Atlanta Braves, LA Dodgers or Baltimore Orioles. It’s the Philadelphia Phillies! They have the top record in the sport. Could this team be in the running for the top team in the NL throughout the summer? I’ll get into Aaron Judge getting ejected for the first time in his career. The Mets get swept in Tampa and closer Edwin Diaz has sputtered of late. What about the Marlins trading their best player (Luis Arraez) on May 3rd!!?? Why are they in operation? I’ll peek to see what else is going on in baseball as we march into a new month.

(1:05:25) I have just a few transactions in the NFL, highlighted by Odell Beckham Jr. signing a one year deal in Miami.

(1:07:28) The 150th Kentucky Derby was a thriller, to say the least. It was a photo finish between three horses with 18-1 Mystik Dan being the winner. Is it possible that he’s going to pass on running the Preakness? What will that do for the race, even the sport overall, if that’s the case?

(1:12:44) Canelo Alvarez retains his title beating previously unbeaten Jaime Munguia Saturday night in Las Vegas. Did anyone watch? Does anyone care?

Celtics/Mavs Look To Even Up Series. NHL's 2nd Round: Battle Of Alberta/Florida, Rangers Psyche? Judge/Yankees Torrid Stretch, Scherzer On Shelf? Tiger/Scheffler: A PGA Preview

Back on the scene for a mid week pod to bring you up to speed on all that's going on in the sports world. On deck:

(4:16) The Conference Finals have begun in the NBA as the Warriors and Heat jump out to 1-0 series leads. Will the Mavericks and Celtics get the equalizer? Can they come back and even each series down 0-2? The evolution of the Heat's Jimmy Butler as a top player in the league. I'll have answers to the questions above and lots more as we get a bit closer to an NBA Final.

(17:28) The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs commenced on Tuesday night as we've already had a couple of thrilling overtime games as the Hurricanes come back late in the third period and win in the extra frame vs. the Rangers. What will that do to the psyche of a team with a young goaltender in Igor Shesterkin? The Blues couldn't upset the Avalanche as they lose in OT. The Battle of Alberta should be a barnburner, as evidenced by a 9-6 shootout win for the Flames. And The Battle of the Sunshine State goes to Tampa Bay as they win Game 1 as they look to go on a deep run and defend their two time Cup winning status. Can the Panthers win this series if they were to go down 0-2? Plus, my thoughts on the new Islanders coach, Lane Lambert. I'll share what they really need as they go into the offseason looking for reinforcements to get back to the postseason next year.

(32:45) I've been singing the same tune when it comes to baseball over the last few podcasts, but the Yankees continue to mash and run roughshod over the American League as they could potentially be 20 games over .500 before they've played their 40th game of the year. Aaron Judge has been the story as he has his sights set on a monster season and a monster payday when it's all said and done. So far, that's coming up roses on his part. What does this mean for the Yankee front office when the time comes to pony up? On the other side of town, the Mets are dealing with some health issues regarding their pitching staff. In particular, free agent prize Max Scherzer, as he had to remove himself from the game last night. Should the Met fan start to worry? I'll also check the landscape of the sport and deliver the latest of what's going on as we're eight days away from Memorial Day weekend.

(42:11) The PGA Championship begins today at Southern Hills in Tulsa, OK. How will the weather and golf course play out over the next four days? Does Tiger Woods have a shot to win or stay close to the top of the leaderboard? What about #1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler? Can he win back to back major tournaments? I'll predict who'll raise the trophy come Sunday evening and also get into the recent demise of defending champion, Phil Mickelson, who is not participating due to some personal issues swirling around him.

(50:33) Unfortunately the Preakness will have no buzz on Saturday as Derby winner, Rich Strike has withdrawn from the race. I have a theory as to why they're holding back this horse from attempting to chase history.
