Where are you guys right now after watching this weekend where we got low scores, we got blowouts, we got tight games? How are you guys feeling about the general vibe of the playoffs?

103.681 - 107.845 Unknown

Second round has been a bit of a letdown, I think, just because of the injuries.

108.625 - 125.54 Zena Keita

You know, you think of the Wolves-Warriors series and Steph being taken out of that one. And then, obviously, with this Cavs-Pacer series, the injuries looming big for Cleveland. It's just – it's kind of taken the life out of the second round a little bit. But at the same time, the hoops have been good. Yes, absolutely. Yeah.

126.281 - 153.137 Dave DuFour

But that's what I – To your point, as I feel as if I almost expected it because of how hard the first round went. Right. And how hard everyone went. You think about that Denver Clipper series was crazy. And now you're seeing them look so tired against OKC. And it's a direct result of that first series. Right. So I agree. Injuries have been tough, but yeah, second round has been a little bit meh.

153.888 - 178.061 Es Baraheni

Well, speaking of a little bit, the Cavs, guys, second round going a little not great for them. They're now down three games to one after just getting wrecked on Sunday by the Pacers. You know, they bounced back in game three. Had a huge win, and it looked like, hey, okay, they got their guys back, they're healthy, and you think, okay, maybe we got ourselves a series.
