The Second Round of the #NBAPlayoffs are slowly coming to an end. You have the defending NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder and the #NYKnicks already punching their tickets to the conference finals after sweeping their opponents. Now both teams await as their opponents continue their own city as the Thunder await the winner of the #MinnesotaTimberwolves-#SanAntonioSpurs series while the Knicks await the winner of the #DetroitPistons-#ClevelandCavaliers series. Which of those series will wrap up in Game 6 or are both of those series destined to go the full 7 games?

And speaking of the #NYKnicks, they are the hottest team right now winning 7 straight playoff games by an average of 26 points, including scoring 140+ points in each of their series finale. Are the Knicks the hottest team right now and the favorite to win the NBA Championship? Can they keep up their high level of play throughout the remainder of the playoffs? Or did they peak too soon and will the long wait between the Second Round and Conference Finals cause them to become rusty?

And for all you football fans, the NFL released it's upcoming #NFLSchedule for the 2026/2027  Season. Which games should people tune in for? Which teams will play international during the regular season? Which team's social media had the best schedule release video? Are the  #AtlantaBraves the best team in baseball right now?

​The Rotunda #496 05/13/26 - It's another hard-hitting episode of the Rotunda as the show inches ever so closer to that 500-episode mark. Once again, Producer Ryan Fox slides over into the host seat as fellow producer Matt Carvalho joins him in studio. 

​Tonight's episode, the two lead off with the shocking development up in Cambridge, Massachusetts as there was an active shooting in the middle of a day. The worst part is that the offender had been in jail for a similar offense before but a judge decided to let him out early. Is this the new norm for the judicial system? Should judges who fail to perform their duty/let out criminals early be held responsible as well (i.e. how a bartender can be held responsible for a drunk driver).

The duo then pay their respects to former NBA player Jason Collins, who was the first professional athlete in the 4 major sports to come out as homosexual back in 2013, as he passed away earlier in the week at the age of 45. How did his coming out change modern sports as well as society? How inspirational was he? 

Plus Matt made a very important announcement in regards to Election 2026 that could affect the future of the city of Pawtucket (aka, Scott's home city). All that and more on the latest episode. Be sure to click down below to give a listen!

The Playbook #147 05/13/26 - Tonight on The Playbook we find more reasons to complain about the Boston Red Sox. After sweeping the Detroit Tigers, the Red Sox have gone on to lose the following series against the Tampa Bay Rays and then the first game of their three game set against the Philadelphia Phillies. Will the bleeding stop, or is the season a lost cause? We discuss all that and more here on The Playbook. 

I'm Dunn With Sports #168 05/13/26 - For this week's presentation of I'm Dunn With Sports, Erik begins with the Red Sox continuing to falter as the injuries and losing are piling up higher and higher as he breaks down the problem that lies within the organization and if this season has any light at the end of a VERY dark tunnel for the foreseeable months.

​After that, Erik goes to the Providence Bruins for the LAST TIME until the Fall due to them suffering the WORST upset in AHL Playoff History to the Springfield Thunderbirds as he recaps the collapse and the devastation behind it as well as backing up his claim that they will NEVER be a CONTENDER until they make the Conference Finals. FINALLY, Erik has CELTICS news ONE MORE TIME as President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens is already LOOKING AHEAD to 2026-27 with a BIGGER set of expectations as he goes over what they are and how we might be seeing a different outlook.

The NBA Playoffs continue on as we enter the second round. With the field just down to just 4 teams in each conference, who will make it to the Conference Finals? Can the Philadelphia 76ers build off their comeback series win over the Boston Celtics? Can LeBron James make a deep playoff push one last time with the Los Angeles Lakers? Will the New York Knicks finally bring a title back to Madison Square Garden? Can Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder continue their quest for a repeat? Eric and Ron give a preview of all the 2nd round matches and more.

​But as all eyes are on the NBA, the age old question will also pop up: will the referees have an impact on the games? Will certain players get the more favorable calls than others? Will a untimely whistle change the flow of the game? Will teams try to adapt their play styles to get more calls?

The Playbook #146 05/06/26 - Tonight on The Playbook, both the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics are early playoff exits losing in the first round of their perspective playoffs with the Celtics suffering a complete meltdown never seen in their 79-year history. Not to mention to add insult to injury, the Boston Bruins received an additional kick in the leg as they failed to gain Toronto's 2026 draft pick as the Maple Leafs got the No. 1 pick overall (but was there foul play involved?).

We also discuss the recent series win for the Boston Red Sox over the Detroit Tigers as they look for their first sweep of the season and hopefully get something going. We discuss all that and more here on The Playbook.
