Then, we go around the league to rank our worry levels for currently good, not great Western Conference teams, talk about which players may be currently silently suffering in their situations, and create our own playoff selection committee to debate who we would choose as our top four playoff teams as of today.

On this week's episode Pat and Dan break down the latest NBA news from the last week including some very troubling Josh Giddey allegations, Pop telling Spurs fans to stop booing Kawhi, the Pacers and Hawks offensive combining for 309 points in their game last week, and KD passing Elvin Hayes to move to 11th on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Then, we visit the Hall of Mediocrity by talking about three middle-of-the-pack Eastern conference teams - the Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Toronto Raptors - before moving on to a game of Buy or Sell with Dan.
