In this episode of "3 Things," Danny Ball breaks down the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament and first-round matchups with bold picks, spicy takes, and a few Coach Carter references for good measure. We kick things off with the state of the basketball scene in the Pacific Northwest, followed by a quick recap of the regular season, then we fly through every first round series — East to West.
