Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Nurders She wrote on the Athletic NBA show. I'm your host Dave Dufor joined as I am every single week by Seth and Mo. Fellas.

Playoffs have been pretty good so far.

They've been great, man. I've enjoyed them. I don't know about anybody else.

I love them. I'm more out. Really? Yeah I mean it's you know it's it's a lot of

especially that I think that the Raptor Celtics game six like was so intense for so long that had kind of wrung me out like a sponge a little bit.

I'm worn out from the referees and we did our rant last week but you

know that that game between Boston and Toronto should be an all-timer but in in

the back of my mind I'm always going to think about those late game calls that just did not, A, didn't need to be made. Like the flagrant on Tatum, I don't want to sit here and re-litigate it, but the flagrant on
