We start off with our BBall Storylines (02:18) where we recap the first round of the NBA Play in tournament that saw the Pacers smack the Hornets, the Celtics route the Wizards, the Grizzlies get by the Spurs, and the Lakers beat the Warriors in what was probably the game of the year. We move on to predicting the winner of each match up for round 1 of the NBA Playoffs (12:22)

In Combat Corner (32:04) Max talks about the recent news that Dana White blocked a boxing match between George St-Pierre and Oscar De La Hoya, and gives his thoughts on the UFC Monopoly.

In Talkin' Hockey (37:17) we time travel to right after the Leafs Habs game and the boys give their disappointed takeaways. They also recap the rest of the playoff action so far in the NHL which has been tight.

We wrap up with our Baseball Bit (47:15) for some more Toronto disappointment, as the Blue Jays blow a lead. But end the show on a positive note as the Shohei Ohtani hype train chugs along.
