Brian opens by looking at Garrett Crochet’s concerning start in Minnesota on Monday and why he could be headed to the IL at some point this season, before getting to the news that Dianna Russini is resigning from The Athletic (0:00). Then, he chats with MassLive’s Brian Robb about the Celtics as they head into the playoffs, their most improved player, Derrick White’s shooting slump, and the NBA playoffs overall (22:20). Brian and Jamie end with a listener call about doing away with sports conferences and wrap up by discussing Crochet (1:11:15). We want to hear from you!
