JD brings on Joseph Casciaro, lead Raptors and NBA reporter at theScore, to react to the Raptors locker room clean-out day and put a bow on their season (8:00). JD and Joseph chat about Scottie Barnes' improvements on defense and in leadership, how Darko Rajaković can be judged in a tanking season, what they'd like to hear from Masai Ujiri, next season's expectations and what may have gone overlooked. Afterwards, JD and Joseph look at the points of the interest in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Arden Zwelling, Blue Jays reporter, joins JD in-studio for the second hour to sift through the Jays' season thus far (52:00). JD and Arden discuss John Schneider's feel for taking out starting pitchers, how the Jays' base-running might improve, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as a leader, how Guerrero Jr.'s contract extension impacts what's next with Bo Bichette, and the status of Daulton Varsho and Max Scherzer. The show finishes with discussion of Paddy Pimblett's star-power following his victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314 (1:29:00).
