Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘onward’ as in the NBA playoffs as in the Pistons as in the Cavaliers as in 76ers. We had a couple of Game 7s and they all delivered. Two different teams came back from 3-1 deficits! Only 15 teams have ever done that and two happened on back to back nights! We start with what happened with the Nuggets though. A Jokic-led team blew it against a Timberwolves team without its three leading scorers! (8:00) The Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead at home! Joel Embiid was too big, too strong, too good. Jaylen Brown decided to have a livestream on Sunday and he went off on the referees. He went off on flopping. It was quite something. (23:20) The Orlando Magic fell apart. Another 3-1 lead. Another collapse. Never seen anything like Game 6. Credit to the Pistons for battling back. (31:30) One more thing about stadium planning! (35:00) The Cavaliers won their Game 7. Played against a Raptors team without Brandon Ingram and were too much. (39:00) Review: Crime 101. (41:30) NPPOD. (45:30) Miami is out of the Super Bowl rotation. A city that has hosted 11 Super Bowls. No more. Why? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:58.0	round two in the NBA playoffs the NHL playoffs we are onward as in it's Monday we're on to
1:05.7	this coming week we're a third done with 2026 already, which is hard to imagine. Four months done. That's a third.
1:16.7	We're on to the month of May. It means so much in different sports. We'll definitely get to
1:22.6	baseball today because once the calendar turns, it used to mean that you'd start to see some serious managerial moves.
1:31.2	But those started happening in April.
1:34.4	It used to be that we could say that you start with the M's.
1:39.2	If you're not ready to go, you can squeeze it till the first J, but don't you wait till the second J.
1:46.2	That was generally the rule. Now all of a sudden we got to think about A, but we do.
1:53.1	I spent the entire weekend, not that is total hyperbole, coca, 4869. I spent the weekend
2:00.5	doing a bunch of stuff, one of which was watching my
2:04.9	favorite thing in sports. You know that. It's game sevens. There's just nothing like it in any sport.
2:11.1	And then when you rank the sports in game sevens, yeah, give me hockey game seven in the
2:16.9	playoffs above everything else.
2:18.9	You had me at shots on goal. Made me very happy to see what the Canadians did to the Tampa
2:26.8	Bay Lightning. Not because I have anything against Tampa, but I would like to see Montreal
2:31.6	win another cup because that city deserves it.
2:36.0	But the NBA had my focus because the fallout from the weekend is going to be far-reaching and significant.
2:43.0	And I'm not saying that in order to get a rise out of your finger.
