Greg gives his lead about a prank call to CSPAN. Then we get to They Said It where we hear from drunk Team USA, Joe Mazzulla, and Lebron believes Jaylen Brown should be squarely in the MVP discussion.

As the Celtics returned from their All star break, their Finals and coach of the year odds don't seem to be getting the respect that they deserve. Is there any team in the NBA who has a better story than Joe Mazzulla and the C's right now? Then, Christian gives his thoughts on Scottie Scheffler's cut streak during PGA events and Olympic events people at WEEI would be good at in the Arcand Fire. And, Shia Labeouf is causing chaos during Mardi Gras in tonight's Clickbait.

Celtics beat reporter for CLNS and SB Nation Noa Dalzell joined Papa & Silver to detail how Kristaps Porzingis, in many ways, is a great fit for the Golden State Warriors. But while Porzingis is a supremely talented player, Dalzell acknowledged that his lack of availability has been a constant concern, even when he was a part of a championship-level Celtics squad in 2024. She also explains how Jaylen Brown and Joe Mazzulla have grown in their respective roles, as Boston currently sits at the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, despite the absence of Jayson Tatum, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon in last year's playoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And, we've got a fight stemming from pickleball down in Florida in tonight's Clickbait.

Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes are clearing the benches in Charlotte for a good ol fashioned brawl that would make Joe Mazzulla jealous.
