Miami Scares Me

Brian presents his eight burning questions for the Celtics as NBA free agency is about to begin (0:40). Then, he chats with The Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams about the slumping Sox, their terrible defense, Chaim Bloom’s job security, the trade deadline, and more (29:45). Brian ends with a listener call and an email, before digging into the DeVante Parker and his contract extension (1:11:00).
