S6 Ep56: Celtics collapse, Wemby's playoff test just got real, Cade's heroics & more

Listen Later

The Celtics blew a 3-1 lead at home and nobody can explain the game seven starting line-up. The Sixers got blown out by the Knicks in game one. Wemby went 0-8 from three. De'Aaron Fox put up 10 points and six turnovers; and Coach Brendan Suhr dropped a medical opinion that will have doctors arguing for weeks: calf strains don't exist.

Mo and Coach break down every first-round result, go series by series on the second round matchups, and pick their predictions for who goes deep. From Cade Cunningham playing through a punctured lung to Julius Randle as the secret X factor against the Spurs - nothing is off limits.
