Summary

Are the top seeds in trouble in the NBA playoffs? The Lakers and Bucks find themselves down and the Clippers are in a dog fight with the Mavericks. Is home "cut-out" advantage helping any? The guys discuss what it will take to win it all. Plus, some fun surprises in Major League Baseball... The Rays and Padres. A hot mic gets another team broadcaster... Should Tom Brennaman lose his job over the comments he made? And could players from the Big 10 and Pac 12 transfer to the SEC, ACC or Big 12 since they are not playing in the fall? Are NFL hungry players in college driving this narrative to play in the fall at all costs?
