The Almighty Jumbotron + Are the NBA Finals Already Over? w/ Joe Casciaro

JD opens the show by discussing the Blue Jays’ series split against Baltimore, his experience attending “School Day” at Rogers Centre, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s recent offensive resurgence, and Yusei Kikuchi’s unique narrative arc during his tenure in Toronto. Then, Joseph Casciaro, NBA scribe for theScore, joins JD to discuss the Celtics’ dominant win over Dallas in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Boston’s impressive depth contributions, if the Mavericks’ playoff success has been overstated, the conflicting narratives surrounding Boston’s path to the Finals, Kristaps Porzingis’ impressive performance in his return to the Celtics’ lineup, and how a championship victory would impact the perception of Jayson Tatum. Joe also vents his frustration about the current state of the Blue Jays and the team’s overdependence on “process.” Afterwards, JD wraps up the show by chatting about the Stanley Cup Final and Zach Hyman’s quest to establish a new playoff goal record (45:52).
