On today's show, Damien Lillard is playing at such a high level right now, but will we even see him for a full playoff series?

The Miami Heat know how to stop Joelle and Bede. What? Is that possible? And Yanis Stetocumpo almost pooped on the court.

His words, not mine. So many games with playoff implications,

and I've got an announcement at the end of this show. I'm Tasmolus, and this is what you need

to know in the NBA for Friday, May 14.

Happy Friday, everybody. It's going to be a wild weekend in the NBA.

Almost every single one of the 20 teams that will play beyond Sunday's regular season don't

know which seed they'll end up with. And we still have 21 teams alive for those spots.

Let's start with easily what was the game of the night from Thursday and its playoff implications.

It's from the Western Conference where it's guaranteed to be a bloodbath once these playoffs get

going.

Not much you can guarantee in the NBA, but you can't argue that.

Number six-seated Portland at number two-seeded Phoenix.

Look like the Sun's had this game late.

Cameron, Payne, good little story, good little guard representing for all the little quick guards out there,

almost out of the league at one point, came off the bench and gave the Sun's 11 fourth quarter points.

He had 21 overall.

Sun's up nine midway through the queue as they try and catch Utah for the one seat.

But then, Damien Lillard with some wild shot making.

Seriously, wild.

Stopping, starting, floating shots in from 24 feet, the hesitation type stuff.

We have got Dame in that serious playoff mode going hard on both ends defensively as well.
