This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Final weekend of the NBA season. Final Friday of this NBA regular season. Tony? There's a lot happening this weekend, then. It's moving day in the NBA. Moving couple days in the NBA. Is that what they refer to it as? No, I'm just saying it because we talked about moving day at the Masters, but the next couple days in the NBA, moving day, we're going to see who's filling out the brackets where, who's filling in the three seed, the five seed, the six seed, where all these things are happening. Do you think that'll catch on, moving day? I'm trying to get there. I would lose that. Do you have a top five for us? I've got a top five storylines heading into the NBA playoffs, gentlemen.
Okay, let's do it. In the OLI, which I have four of, get locked in right now. Dave Damaschek, I'm filling you in because you're a guy that likes to fill in on the NBA post-NFL season. We had that show a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm locking you in for what's going on into the future of the playoffs. So OLI number one, nobody wants to play Charlotte. Let me ask you something. You think Detroit wants to play Charlotte? Okay, hold on. Let me ask you something, because we do this every year. No one wants to play this team. No one wants to play this team. Does the team that no one wants to play ever actually do anything in the playoffs? No, of course not, but that's the point. The Miami Heat? We were saying that.
The zombie heat from a couple years ago. You don't want to play these Miami Heat in the playoffs. Mike Schur was going on for a full year. Bill Simmons has a conniption every time they're there. We want to play those Miami Heat in the playoffs. The Charlotte Hornets, even though we've laughed at them for multiple, multiple decades, have been the best team. this year right this calendar year they've been one of the best teams in 2026 which is insane but they've got a lot of young players and I think they're going to be given uh problems to a Detroit team a Boston team I don't think either of those guys want to see the Charlotte Hornets I think Detroit would smack them but nonetheless this is your list thank you you said it second OLI New York sneaky contenders the New York Knickerbockers very interesting in the eastern conference
O-line number three.
What are Tony's top storylines heading into the NBA playoffs?
Can Houston do anything in the West? Something to keep an eye on. A big team, a team that can get a lot of offensive rebounds. They've won eight in a row. Won eight in a row. They've got KD. They've got Shepard, who's been playing really well, too. Like, there's an interesting piece there in Houston. I've got to see what's going on there. What was the fourth note? The number four? I haven't gotten there yet. No, no, no. I mean, you're going in ascending order, right? So, like, what was the last one prior to this one? New York Knicks sneaky contenders? Huh. Can Houston do anything? Well, no, I know the New York ones. You wrote that down. I had that one prior, too.
Why is nobody wanting to play against Charlotte in the playoffs?
I wrote this in the morning. All right. Fourth OLI, last OLI. A healthy Philly team is intriguing.
He had an appendicitis operation yesterday. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. Yeah, for next year. No, he'll be fine.
Bold take of Embiid went healthy. Good. No, that's not true.
He just had an appendicitis.
Still somehow worse than the Knicks observation. Yeah, no, they're good. No, the Knicks observation was sneaky contenders. Yeah, they're... They're good. They're one of the three seed of the East. Help me out here. No, I want to focus on him saying if the Sixers are healthy right after Joel Embiid suffered an appendicitis. You don't think that they're going to try to get him out on the floor? Appendicitis? Who cares? From what I saw, it's a month recovery. A month. That's not true. Jason Tatum came back in nine months in an Achilles. Remember, Uncle Jesse had an emergency appendectomy when Rebecca went into labor, and he walked out and he was holding both babies by the carriage when they walked in the house.
And then he misplaced the socks, and then he forgot which one was Nicky and which one was Alex.
