Coming up on this episode of Mind the Game.

All right, let's talk about these playoffs.

I still think OKC is the team to beat.

I mean, like you said, you named Denver, you named us, you named Boston, you know, teams with championship DNA.

You need playoffs, scars, and common experiences.

Spurs don't have that, but they have Wembe.

Then you have some sleepers that can come into play, A team like Atlantic, a dude who's been playing good basketball. You got Houston. Detroit. But Detroit. OK, see, what's a weakness? What's their weakness? Like, if you had to say, like, nitpick. I had to nitpick. I love the way you enunciated nitpick. I had to nitpick. Wow. I love the way you enunciated nitpick.

I had a nitpick.

That's good. I'm going to drop right on the eve of the plans.

Oh, man. So I thought I'd just get your temperature.

I mean, you know, personally, I think in the West, Phoenix and the Clippers is fascinating.

So right now, who do we have now, seven, eight, nine, and ten?

It's close in the West.

So, like, Phoenix is six.

Okay.

Clippers, Portland are very, I think, almost tied, are very close at the time of recording.

Golden States, obviously struggled, but even had Steph.

Yep.

He said, I heard a report came out today that he possibly can come back soon.

Looks like Steph will play?

Yeah, okay, yep, this weekend, huh?

Looks like stuff will get his couple games in before the play in, which makes them a wild card. Yeah, that's dangerous. Right? That's dangerous. So you got this really interesting thing. Phoenix Clippers playing well, had good years. Phoenix getting healthy again. Portland, you know, always kind of a wild car with their energy, athleticism, see if they're healthy. And then the Warriors were Steph, you never know.
