This is an IHeart podcast.

On this episode of the Heat Check, we talk about another division in the Western

Conference, baby, which might be the most loaded in NBA history.

I know, that's a hyperbole, but we're doing it on a Sunday night.

You can make the case that almost any team in the Western Conference, you just pick

one of them, except for my Portland Trailblazers, could make the playoffs. We now break

down the second Western Conference Division, which is the Southwest. I don't know what the

car reference would be of that. I know it's definitely not a Cadillac. I know it's definitely not a Maserati. It's more like mid-tier. Like, I'd be fine with it. Is it the Hyundai Division? I don't know. Memphis, Dallas, New Orleans, Houston, and San and Focentonio. San and fucking Tonio is probably going to be the Maserati of the budget.

Let's get a move on, William.

We don't have much time to waste.

I already did this segment, so we got to do it again, and I wasn't recording.

So drop that generic ass beat.

It should be Rihanna.

We're breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines.

You're tuned in to The Heat Check.

The Heat Check with Trista Crick.

The best podcast covering all the drama around the association.

We've started our NBA preview with the Cadillac, the cream of the crop, which was the Pacific Division.

We now turn our attention to the Southwest Division,

which is fascinating in its own way.

It's actually, we can make more of a reference, not to cars,

but maybe to an airline, and we'll just keep it right there.
