116.688 - 138.915 Raja Bell

What's poppin'? Real ones. Logan Murdoch here. Howdy motherfuckin' back there. No Raja. He is on the recruiting trail, but we will see him for the playoffs, which is, you know, a bit poetic, man. We're going to talk about the teams that are actually going to go into the play end with hopes of going into the playoffs. And we're going to ask some questions about them.

138.895 - 160.954 Raja Bell

Asked if they are going to have any shot at beating a 1 or 2 seed. Are they on their way up? Are they on their way down? Do we like them going forward? Do we like them now? Let's start with the Clippers, man. Clippers are 41-39, 7-3 over their last 10 games. They have a big matchup tonight. Probably when you guys are listening to this, they have a big matchup in Portland tonight.

0

160.934 - 184.323 Raja Bell

to see if they can wrap up the eighth seed, essentially. They have a 2-1 tiebreaker over there. They're up 2-1 in the season series with the Blazers. And if they win this, they get the eighth seed. If the Blazers win, they will own the tiebreaker based off, I think, conference record. So a lot of things going on right there.

184.483 - 205.225 Raja Bell

But if the Clippers are to get through the play-in, as an 8 seed, they win their first play-in game, and they will be playing San Antonio for all intents and purposes. And I think I know what your answer is here, not because we potted before the pod, Howard, but because they have Kawhi Leonard. What do you think? Let's start over there.

205.245 - 211.512 Raja Bell

What are their prospects in the playoffs if they get through the play-in? What is your optimism level for the Clippers?

212.167 - 231.034 Howard Beck

Never pod before the pod. It's a golden rule. It is a golden rule. We might sometimes know where each other's heading a little bit, but we try not to pod before the pod. Real quick, just like to pull back for a second here. So yeah, we're recording this on Friday before. There's a lot of shit still in play, right? We know who the four playing teams are in the West.

231.354 - 255.167 Howard Beck

The order is still in shuffling, right? But those are four teams, two of which will be the seventh and eighth seed. We know that. The East going into tonight is a fucking shit show. Congratulations to your conference. Constantly, one way or another, being confusing and chaotic. Six teams are still in play for the last two playoff spots slash play-in. Um...

255.147 - 278.91 Howard Beck

so we're gonna but you know listen the way we were talking about this and setting up the show was like by the time we pot again tuesday plans are are on the slate so who's got a chance to actually pull an upset if at all because seventh and eighth seeds traditionally are cannon fodder um but where are they going if they lose which they most likely all will so listen the clippers are
