| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Down to Dunk. I'm your host Andrew Schlect. |
| 0:08.4 | We're part of the Athletic Podcast Network. This is an emergency pod. We haven't had an |
| 0:13.0 | emergency pod in a while. So if you're unaware, the Pelicans beat the clippers to get |
| 0:20.2 | into the playoffs last night, which |
| 0:21.6 | is cool in itself. However, what it means is the Clippers pick that we thought would be the |
| 0:29.8 | 15th pick because we thought that the Clippers would at least one of the playing games, which they |
| 0:34.6 | didn't. That 15th pick became the 12th pick for the Thunder, which is now a lottery pick. |
| 0:40.1 | And now they have seven, a little bit over 7% odds to jump into the top four with that |
| 0:45.0 | pick on its own. |
| 0:47.4 | So, Alex and I did an emergency podcast to break it all down. |

| 1:15.4 | to explain everything that was happening. |
| 1:17.5 | So enjoy it and enjoy the weekend. |
| 1:20.7 | And shout out to my son, whose turns 10 today. |
| 1:24.7 | And yeah, have a great one. It's bird night, Al. We're here for the bird |
| 1:34.1 | nights, everybody. Wow. Oh my gosh. It did not. It was a, you know, let's just, let's acknowledge this this it had been a long time since we had wanted a |
| 1:48.1 | basketball team to win a game that badly yeah i i the way i knew that i was into it is that i turned |
| 1:55.2 | the game off because i was so angry yeah at some point in the third, when they got up, when Clippers came all the way |
| 2:02.7 | back and got up by double digits, I just turned the game off, started playing Rocket |
| 2:05.8 | League, said, well, that's that. |
