00:00for Cleveland, still at the top in the East 37 and nine, then

00:04Boston Boston's five and a half games back of Cleveland for the

00:09one seed Knicks six and a half back, then Milwaukee, Indiana,

00:13Miami play in tournament right now, Orlando, Detroit, Atlanta,

00:17Chicago, and then Philly and the rest there on the outside looking

00:21in right now.

00:22I mean, at this point, Philly still like it looks to me like

00:26three deep, Toronto, it's, you know, even further down, those

00:32teams are shot, literally, I think Brooklyn, Charlotte, DC,

00:37are toast. The only one that's viable to me is Philly because

00:42of the talent that they have, which has just been awful this

00:46year, they have not produced at all, they have not really, to me

00:51play ball. I mean, I think they have just let the season slip

00:55by, and they have just been a disaster. And I don't want to

00:59hear it about and beads, you know, status injuries. Otherwise,

01:04they got PG, they got maxi, they got this guy and bead, you got

01:08to be kidding me, they got this, you know, highly expensive coach

01:11that nurse that everybody thinks is the greatest thing since

01:14sliced bread, I still say, I'll never change my opinion. He won

01:18because of quiet Leonard, not because of him. Okay, I don't

01:22believe for a minute, I told you, it's very rare that I give

01:25credit to NBA is, frankly, there's very few. To me, these

01:31players nowadays, in this day and age, and in 2025, they don't

01:35listen to coaches. They don't listen to anybody, their wives,

01:38they don't listen. But when you're making $200 million, you

01:42don't listen to anybody. I mean, you wouldn't listen to a mailman

01:45tell you he's got a box for you. I mean, honestly, because you're

01:48you're never wrong. So that that setup right there looks like the

01:52playoffs to me as is, but I do think there's potential for

01:56Miami to blow it because of what Butler's done to them. I think

02:00he's ruined their season. The fact that they're a playoff team

02:03right now to me is stunning. Because I saw, you know, glimpses

02:08of this guy literally throwing games. Like have you seen him

02:13lately throwing balls out of bounds, shooting airballs,

02:18taking terrible shots, knowing he has no chance to make them.

02:22He's like, purposely trying to destroy the Miami heat. And he's

02:27in this war with Pat Riley. And I don't know what this stubborn

02:31old man is thinking, like, get rid of him already. I mean, he's

02:34he's done. He's done playing in Miami. What are you trying to

02:38prove that you're so old and stubborn here that you're

02:41playing this game with him and suspending him every other day.

02:44It's not working. Get him the F out of there. He's like the kiss

02:49of death.
