Brian recaps a wild Celtics’ overtime win against the Pacers to take Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, including the game-saving 3-pointer from Jaylen Brown in the closing seconds of regulation, some incredible guard play from Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, adjustments both teams might make for Game 2, and more (0:30). Then, Brian looks at the Western Conference finals and how the Wolves and Mavs match up, and which team would be an easier opponent for the C’s (34:35). He also touches on some Patriots notes, including question marks along the offensive line, and Matthew Judon’s contract situation (44:50). Finally, Brian answers some listener calls on the Celtics, before he and Jamie give some final thoughts on an extremely exciting Game 1 (56:05).
