| 0:04.5 | On this episode. On this episode of the heat check, the first play-ins are done and the wolves and nets have moved on to the actual playoffs. |
| 0:27.8 | Only two more playoff spots open and four teams left. |
| 0:31.2 | We're going to break down those games from last night as well as preview the 9-10s for tonight. |
| 0:35.7 | It's playoff time, Brock, so do me a favor and drop that beat. |
| 0:53.3 | All right, so the first round of the play-in tournament went pretty much exactly how it was |

| 1:43.3 | Anyway, KD, of course, was KD, you know, best player |
| 1:46.9 | on the planet. If you're a Nets fan, there's reasons on one hand to be optimistic, and then also |
| 1:54.1 | equally a lot to be concerned about. One, you blew a 20-point lead at one point mark and must |
| 1:59.8 | have an open three that would have cut the lead in the |
| 2:02.3 | fourth to a single bucket. You needed epic games from Kyrie and KD, and you still didn't cover the |
