25:22 - Jeff Goodman of Stadium joins Chris and Sherrod and he's confident that the biggest factor in their future success is Terry Rozier and that they already have a superstar on their roster in Jayson Tatum.

31:22 - Goodman takes a quick look at who the Celtics might select on draft night at No. 14 and what they'll do with they're remaining first round picks.

36:01 - Sherrod explains why Chris and Celtics fans should be optimistic in the aftermath of the Anthony Davis trade because of the shift of power in the NBA and the Celtics combination of talent and chemistry.
