Celtics' writer from Barstool Sports Dan Greenberg joins the show and explains why he was indifferent on the C's drawing the 76ers in the first round, his confidence in Jayson Tatum looking like himself, and how the NBA is benefitting from this year's play-in games.

From all the first round opponents the Celtics could've drawn, Christian explains why he wanted the 76ers and if Philly poses any threat at all to Boston's title hopes.

MassLive Red Sox writer Sean McAdam joins the show to share his feeling about if there's something going on with Garrett Crochet, which part of the lineup is the biggest concern, and if more will come from the incident in Minnesota with Jarren Duran.

Even though its early, this upcoming four-game series for the Red Sox at Fenway against the Tigers is very important for getting out of their early season rut.
