b'Sports talk delivered the way it should be. Passionate, fiery, spirited, knowledgeable and entertaining as well as the latest installment of the podcast is ready for consumption. On deck:

(3:01) The NBA postseason is off and running. Not a stellar weekend overall, but you had the two play-in games (Atlanta-Cleveland, New Orleans-LA Clippers) that were entertaining. And then the epic Game 1 showdown between Brooklyn-Boston which proved to be the highlight of the eight games on Saturday and Sunday. I\'ll dissect the key moments in that game, what the long term affect could be for both teams in this series and beyond and go around the Association to fill you in on all of the Game 1\'s as the road to the NBA Finals has begun.

(31:38) The Mets have gotten off to a very good start winning their first three series, going 7-3. Upcoming is an early season test as the San Francisco Giants invade Citi Field for three games to see where they stand against one of the better teams in the NL. The Braves will visit Chavez Ravine and see an old face in a new uniform (i.e. Freddie Freeman) as they meet for the first time since last years\' NLCS. Angels manager, Joe Maddon made a strange move in a game vs. Texas as he always tries to \'outsmart\' his opponent, but they\'re off to a good start in this early part of the season.

(39:51) The NHL is down to its final week and a half of games, but the sport lost a legendary scorer on a championship dynasty as Islander great, Mike Bossy, passed away due to lung cancer at the age of 65. I\'ll touch on some of the highlights of his wonderful career and bring you up to speed if there is going to be any drama in the wild card or division races as we get to the homestretch.

(45:38) Football wraps up the final segment as there was a couple of notable signings (CB Stephon Gilmore to Indy and WR Sammy Watkins to Green Bay) Also, a terrible incident involving Cowboys CB, Kelvin Joseph as the league has to deal with more news off the field than on.

(49:09) In conclusion, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
