Welcome to the Saturday Slammin' Jam here on the Athletic NBA Daily. On today's show, we're talking to Anthony Slater about the Western Conference playoffs, Jared Weiss about the Boston Celtics, and then we'll do some trivia. First, we're going to our friend Anthony Slater. He's a national writer here at The Athletic. Slater, what's up? How are y'all?
great so good great I didn't just get off an airplane so I think I'm doing a little bit better than you are right now yeah it's been it's been some travel that's what happens when you take your first round series to seven games and you're the road team and then you're the road team to start the next series And you play in a Western Conference that is geographically wild. Dude.
With the fact that I'm basically in Chicago, Detroit area, but it's West playoffs. 830 Tips, too, as you guys know well, they're in Oklahoma City. Yeah.
830 Tips are brutal. Yeah. Getting out of the arena at like 3 a.m. I'm at home. I haven't left home. And it's been a week just because the tip is so late.
I do not want to sound like a grouch. And honestly, I shouldn't because this is the first time I've been home since before game seven of the Houston series. So, wow. Oh, wow. And by the way, I mean, like nobody cares about me, but this old Warriors team is doing the same thing I'm doing. Like that's what probably matters here. Yeah.
So. Yeah, no kidding. Let's start with the two teams that were knocked out of the playoffs this week. First, the Clippers. After pushing the series to seven, the Clippers didn't show up in Denver and failed to make it out of the first round for the third straight season. Do you think the Clippers should consider trying to pivot at this point?
Or were there enough positives this season to feel good about running it back and extending Harden?
