00:00with the NBA Eastern Conference standings because nobody wants to talk about the Wizards and Jazz

00:04because it was a scrimmage. The Jazz sat everybody. It was actually kind of disgraceful.

00:09Here you go with the East. There we go. We finally see a team with the little x next to

00:14their name. That means they've clinched a spot. That is Cleveland up there. Of course, you know,

00:18Boston, New York, Milwaukee, Indiana, and Detroit. Brooklyn is now two games back in the loss

00:25of the play-in game. Same with Philadelphia.

00:30Yeah, listen, they can all be wherever they want. They don't matter.

00:36I mean, it's this is this is simple. The East is there's not gonna be any of that. There's not

00:42gonna be any. Now, I'll give you this. I thought that Miami played the best game I've seen anybody

00:47play against the Cavaliers in two months. I mean, Bam Adebayo went off in that game. He went off,

00:53but he had a huge turnover late that I think cost him the game when he was going in for his,

00:57like, 33rd point or something. He dropped the ball out of bounds right out of his hands.

01:02Nobody even touched him. Struce was guarding him, but he wasn't really stopping him. He was

01:07gonna score, but he dropped the ball. That's the best I've seen anybody. None of those teams,

01:11none of them. The only team I keep telling you, the only teams that have a shot are those first

01:18four. And the only outsider that has a shot is the Pacers because the Pacers are legit.

01:23They're a legit playoff built, playoff proven winner team. You still don't believe they were

01:30in these finals last year, huh? Okay. And problems for the Sixers tonight,

01:37which we'll get to in a moment. Not while they're playing Boston. So that's a problem in itself.

01:41But they're also not going to have Paul George. He's got some groin soreness. He's out tonight.

01:47Tyrese Max, he's out tonight with the back and we know what else. So the Sixers are going to have

01:53I guess more of, hasn't Grimes been lighting it up for the Sixers lately?

01:57Yeah. Grimes, good night. Day is over.

02:00More burn for Grimes. More burn for Grimes, I guess.

02:03Oh, but probably.

02:05Quickly, the West. Obviously, the Golden State Warriors are now in the top six. Lakers are the

02:11two. They're only a game ahead in the loss of Denver. And the Clippers have slipped to eighth

02:16despite the win last night. Dallas now, Phoenix, two games back in the loss. With Dallas's problems,

02:23will Phoenix pass Dallas for that last spot in the play-in game?

02:28I say yes.

02:29I mean, they might very well do that. I'm more interested in the Golden State Warriors passing

02:35Houston and the Memphis Grizzlies who are melting like an ice cream cone.
