About this episode

The episode discusses the Pistons' advancement in the NBA Playoffs, Tarik Skubal's upcoming surgery, and the implications for the Tigers' playoff chances.

The guys discussed whether they're feeling either relief or happiness now that the Pistons have advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Then, they got the breaking news that Tarik Skubal will be getting elbow surgery that'll keep him out for the next couple of months at minimum and wondered how much this will hinder the Tigers' playoff chances. Then, they did a "Can We Say That?" to round out the first hour.
