For both Giannis and Jokic, I think that this is an important playoff run. I mean, you know, Jokic, we saw them just have disappointment the last couple seasons since they won. This season has not gone to plan for them. I think it's been more of a struggle than a lot of us expected, especially considering we felt like they were at full health. You described this to me as MVPs in purgatory.

what happens if the Nuggets just fail to produce in the playoffs? And what does that even mean? Like, do they have to make the conference finals? Or if they don't make the finals, is that a failure? Like, where would you put the bar?

Well, it's going to be matchup dependent, you know, and just I mean, I think that the styles make fights thing for the NBA right now, especially in the Western Conference is that's how it's all going to shake out. If the Oklahoma City Thunder ran into the Nuggets early, like a second round, I don't love that matchup for OKC because of what he's able to do.

Yeah, so I do think that they've got as good of a shot as anyone in the West. I still put OKC first, but it's more the fallout if they don't perform in the playoffs. I think the MPJ contract situation is actually the one to key on because of the new CBA and the restrictions that are on teams that are in the position that Nuggets are in to build.

They would have to essentially move on from him to just get a couple of extra pieces and Because depth is really the big limiting factor for them. It's not the high-end talent. They have that. It's what happens when Jamal Murray is out or has to go on the bench. And what's amazing is Christian Brown, when we came to the season, we were thinking about him as a potential weak link

And he's been excellent this year. It's more, what happens when you have to go to the bench? And that brings me to the Russell Westbrook question when we get to the playoffs. We saw the other night, and Russ, you live by Russ, you die by Russ sometimes. And we saw the way that the end of that Timberwolves game went the other night. What happens in the playoffs...

when a rust situation arises you know is is michael malone willing to bench him to go to you know christian brown or or you know peyton watson or whatever i mean do you think that that he would be able to do that or or do you think he sticks with russ michael malone likes to play veterans so that is a concern there right maybe he'll just go with ross because ross is a veteran

Yeah. Let's swing it over to the Bucs because the Bucs, this situation is a little bit different. They made a big move to bring in Damian Lillard last year. Obviously, they wind up having to make a coaching change. Look, if you go to Doc Rivers, you've had some problems. And Doc has not been able to solve them. Now, we go into the playoffs.
