Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘resilience’ as in Celtics as in White as in Brown as in Mazzulla as in Kornet as in the Boston Celtics. They did it without Tatum. So many great shots made. Jalen Brunson picked up 5 fouls in one quarter! And now we go onto Game 6 back in MSG. Could the Celtics really do it? (8:30) The Warriors are done. Playoff Jimmy did not show up. Steph Curry was hurt. And now Anthony Edwards is back into the Western Conference Finals. (18:15) The NFL schedule release was yesterday. The NFL owned the day again. I can’t believe it. Leaks. Madness. Hype videos. Social videos. Full on productions! (35:00) Review: Dead Poet’s Society. (40:45) The Portland Trail Blazers are finally for sale. It’s been 7 years since the death of owner Paul Allen and the team has not sold yet. Until now. Except Phil Knight does not want it. (46:00) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices.
