Host Cathryn Naiker sits down with comedian Freddie Rivas (Confederacy of Dunks) to discuss a wide range of basketball-related topics, including:

• Looking back on the two-year anniversary of the NBA shutdown
• WNBA star Brittney Griner's incarceration in Russia
• Ben Simmons' return to Philly - on the bench
• Russell Westbrook opening up about bullying and the impact it has on his family
• Speculating what is left of the LeBron era in L.A.
• The Western Conference playoff bracket, and which potential matchups we're most excited for

In our Raptors Homer Moment, we go through an emotional journey upon realizing the Raptors could face the Miami Heat in the first round; then, we discuss spoiling Gregg Popovich's record-setting party in San Antonio, and how much better Toronto looks with Fred VanVleet in the lineup.

Finally, in our Nick Nurse Hottie Moment of the Week, Cathryn gets excited for the Raptors' coaching summit this weekend.
