The NBA Playoffs are off to an exciting start, and the Kings have the Warriors on the ropes with a 2-0 lead heading back to San Francisco! Draymond Green retaliated to Domantas Sabonis cheap shot with an even cheaper shot that has Sabonis getting X-rays on his rib cage and lungs. Was Draymond justified in his retaliation?

We're on a roll talking Cardinals on High Noon. The pitching staff has a million questions hovering over it as is, but Oli Marmol may have been adding a few more questions with his handling of Genesis Cabrera. When will we see Jordan Hicks again?

The Cardinals dropped the opening game of their series with the Diamondbacks due in large part to a grand slam that Andre Pallante allowed following the removal of Jack Flaherty. Dylan Carlson was inserted late in the game to pinch-hit for Nolan Gorman. We think Oli Marmol is good, but we can't help but question some of the moves that contributed to the loss. And, of course, the offense was a dud.

Nate, Rammer and Cole get to chatting about the birds. Jordan Hicks is currently the worst pitcher on the entire staff, but that doesn't mean his seat is hot. What's going to happen when Waino returns? Dylan Carlson is the odd man out in the outfield, and it's in large part due to a man that has been underappreciated for at least a year. Nate is worried about how the Cards are going to compete in this series against Arizona.

The "first round" of the NBA play-in has concluded, and Nate is confused as to how there is more play-in basketball to be played. Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic have not coexisted very well, but it might not be Kyrie's fault (for once). Mark Cuban is being investigated yet again for allowing tanking within the organization. Dillon Brooks is the first mean-spirited Canadien ever to walk the earth. The panel is split on whether or not they like Chris Mad Dog Russo.
