First, Noah Dalziel joins the show to talk all things Celtics, expectations for Jayson Tatum, what is the Payton Pritchard and Derrick White role's gonna look like, who starts at center, the growth of Joe Mazzulla, and so much more.

And then we shift to the WNBA/World Cup side.

We recap Team USA's historic win.

We preview their matchup against Spain.

Okay.

We have the abbreviated intro from Steve, which means we once again have a guest, first-time guest, hopefully not a last-time guest.

We have Noah Dalziel on the podcast, writer for Celtics Blog, great WNBA work for SB Nation, the You Got Boston podcast, WNBA on CLNS, I believe, as well.

Noah, welcome to the program.

Right.

Like, right now, a stat, and the NHL probably hates me saying, last year, the WNBA in most markets got better viewership on TV-
