Welcome on to week one of the playoffs, Hollinger and Duncan, where we have much to discuss.

0:07.1

Not all of it positive, unfortunately.

0:10.1

The injuries have already struck.

0:12.0

Knock on wood, not as bad as last year, although we're seeing them at a similar rate so far.

0:17.4

I guess where I want to start, John, is how screwed are the Bucks and the Sons?

0:24.5

Yeah. I actually, so for the Bucks, I'm less worried about the Middleton injury and more worried
