Today’s word of the day is ‘rolling thunder’ as in Oklahoma City as in SGA as in NBA Playoffs as in basketball. The Thunder crushed the Timberwolves in Game with a huge 2nd half. Stop shooting so many 3s! The Timberwolves were ice cold. SGA was red hot. Not a great recipe! (9:30) The Florida Panthers are GOOD. Road warriors. The Carolina Hurricanes have been so bad in the Conference Finals. (14:00) NPPOD. (22:45) Walker Buehler and Alex Cora were ejected in the 3rd inning yesterday after arguing with an ump. That’s fine. It happens. But the comments after the game are what stand out by the ump. (35:30) Review: Bob Trevino Likes It. (42:40) Is MLB about to add even more reviews? On checked swings? Really? (49:30) The NFL voted to allow players to participate in the Olympics. Nice! Flag football! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
