In this episode, Matthew and Michael react to the news of players from the NBA and other North American sports leagues boycotting games, the significance of it, and what they hope follows it. They are later joined by Vivek Jacob, a freelance writer for Complex Canada and Raptors Republic, to discuss the importance of the boycotts, how long play may be on pause for, and previewing the Raptors-Celtics series should it continue as originally planned. Afterwards, the guys share their perspective on the NHL's initial decision to continue playing, why the league missed the mark, and how they can take better action for future moments.
