Joining me from inside of the performance center is Will Raggot, Sports Illustrated for our

weekly hardcore breakdown and I want to get into what Ed Donatell had to say about the defense. There's two things I want to mention

I mean, we know that you can look at the state. for the playoffs, like just how it felt.

I mean, we know that you can look at the standings and see where they actually are and

we can remind ourselves, yeah, this team is going to cruise into the playoffs and they've had
