It's unfortunate that in a week when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters the league has to endure a wave of rising privilege.  This week served to further flatten the playoff landscape with victories by key teams.  Now, all but 1 team are directly in the playoff race and the league is wide open.  A hot race, another trade, a post trade breakdown, some more God smiting... it's all in this week's episode.  Let the commish take you for a ride.
