Welcome back to another episode of Smallball with Kenny Beach, and we are in the midst of the first round of the playoffs.

And today, I want to kind of rank every single series, or I guess grade every single series, A plus through F, based on how much I've been enjoying watching it.

This has been a ridiculous week in the association.

We have some really good series.

We had Adam Silver on the other podcast, a big day for the Enjoy Basketball brand for sure.

But it's been an amazing couple series.

There are a couple series that are absolutely dreadful.

But I feel like I find the spark in every series. You are a couple series that are absolutely dreadful, but I feel like

I find the spark in every series. You know what I'm saying? You know, like you look at OKC versus

the Grizzlies where OKC is won by a combined 70 plus points. You would think that I would give

that an F, right? Because it hasn't been competitive at all, but I'm an optimist. Enjoy basketball. That's the brand, baby. I still find a way to enjoy these games. I was tweeting about this game and people like, Kenny, why are you watching this? I'm like, because I enjoy basketball, baby. Also did not go to my family's Easter get together in order to watch the playoff games. And every single one of those games in that day were trash.

But I had to do my job.

I had to do my job.

You know, we do these nightly recaps over on the Kenny For Real channel.

And I did an episode or I did a video after that.

And one of the people that was at the family event was like, you just went 12 minutes talking about one game, the late night game, but basically did no minutes on the games that you watched

instead of going to the get together. I can't control or predict the outcome of a basketball game.

And it was game one. Right? It's game one in the series. Who would have thought that OKC would have won by 56?

Not me. I knew they were going to win, but I ain't think it was going to be that crazy. So today I do want to grade every single series, again, A through F.

Go over to the numbers on the board YouTube channel. Go check out the episode we just filmed with Adam Silver.

A monumental moment for the brand for the show. We've done some ridiculous interviews. I've done some ridiculous interviews in my life that I'm 100% grateful for. Like we did a Steph Curry interview a few years back while we were in Studio J. We got all suited up. Some of y'all may have seen that episode. I personally got to interview the inside the NBA guys everybody but ernie and ernie's my favorite one which is unfortunate he wasn't able to be there

and then we get this one um which is insane you know i always have a a troubling time would
