NBAVE

The 20 NBA playoff teams have been set for a while, so we rank the teams in order of least to best odds of winning the title and explain why.

Lebron leads the Lakers to a massive fourth quarter comeback with the help from his sidekicks, Rui, Reaves, and Russel.

Wiggins takes another leave of absence, muddying the water for the Warriors as they get set to face the Knicks at MSG.

The Cavaliers show that two kings cannot share one crown.

The Pelicans go 0-15 when they are trailing entering the fourth quarter.

We recap all elements of the shot of the year, Max Strus's buzzer beater and how he flipped the script for the Mavericks and the Cavaliers.

We look at how different things would be if the Lakers signed Max Strus instead of Gabe Vincent, who hasn't been available for nearly the entire season so far.

The Eastern and Western conference seeding keeps shifting, so we continue to examine that as we gear up for the final stretch.

Last night was largely a night of missed opportunities in the NBA.

The Knicks won a controversial game, the Kings continued squandering their season, and many more storylines.

We have a good old fashioned showdown in the western conference playoff race where the Kings, Suns, Pelicans, and Mavericks are fighting for playoff positioning with two of these teams avoiding the play-in game and two of them ending up in the play-in.

The standings were on the verge of a meaningful shift that temporarily stalled with some of the recent games but the next few games may change that. We discuss the landscape and more as we review the weekends NBA action.

The Mavericks show their depth against the more shallow Suns and earn the inside track to the six seed while the Suns may be forced to settle for the play in.

The Warriors close the gap against the Lakers, beating them easily and moving within a half game as both teams try avoiding the play-in.

Mo Wagner brings the intensity for Orlando, Bogdanovic adds a dimension for NY, and Charlotte stays hot.

With roughly 27 games remaining in the NBA season, we talk through the outlook for all 30 teams at this point and their goals for the remainder of the year.

Do you think your favorite NBA team can win the title? Unless you are a fan of one of a handful of teams, history says they will not.

We break down what is necessary to win the title and which teams are lacking in that department.

There are nine teams who have a shot to win the NBA championship this season, six mainstays and three wild cards.

Let's not kid ourselves into thinking all the high seeded teams have a chance. This is reality.

We breeze through the all star coverage, focusing on the actual NBA.

We take advantage of the quiet time to review all the role players from the last decade of the Warriors "dynasty" and we try to decipher whether Warriors management was overall successful in their quest to surround one of the greatest cores of all time with the best role players they could.

Some of the names mentioned in this episode will be a real blast from the past.
