LeBron is out. Okay, that's cool. But then they have the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. That leads into a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City on Sunday. Then the Milwaukee Bucks go on a five-game Western Conference road trip. On that five-game Western Conference road trip, they get the Los Angeles Lakers, which is... Okay, LeBron will probably be out. That is nice-ish.

Not so nice-ish playing the Golden State Warriors. The Kings aren't the best team in the world, but they're going to be fighting for a playoff position. The Phoenix Suns also. fighting for a playoff position, fighting for a spot in the plan, and have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. That's a tough one. And then, oh, by the way, you end the road trip at elevation against the Denver Nuggets.

That is a hellish... A hellish 10 or so games. And the Bucs are leading into that by losing three straight. So not exactly what you want to be doing. So while I would love to break down the full tiebreakers between four and six for you, Zena, I think the Bucs have much bigger problems than tiebreakers.

Absolutely. Sounds like Eric is thinking like we are and that the Pistons might make the four seed, which would be absolutely absurd. I think that's a good place to wrap it up.

uh that's a great question um they are old they are not uh you know like they're not the youngest team anymore and winning in the nba is hard like it just is like some teams make it look very easy and if you have lots of talent it can be made even easier but if you want to win every single night you have to put in the work you can't just roll the ball out the league is far too talented

Teams are trying to win too much. They're too well coached, all of it. Like the league is just too good. You can't just roll the ball out and win basketball games. If you could, the Bucs would do that on a nightly basis because they are overwhelmingly talented. But that is not the case. And it was funny just to kind of hear the Bucs after, you know, you have this great juxtaposition of two games.
