Tony East, host of the Locked On Pacers podcast, jumped on to discuss the Pacers' surprising season. Can the team win a playoff round? What does the future hold? We also disagreed on who will come out of the east, and discussed the entire playoff bracket. Finally, we dipped our toes into the murky world of Lonzo Ball discussion...

Kelly Scaletta joined me for today's podcast discussing the Timberwolves' insane signing of Derrick Rose, the Rockets' championship hopes, as well as the rest of the West playoff race.

Dave and I discussed our shared love for the Toronto Raptors. How real are the Raptors? Are they finally a threat to escape the east? We also discuss the Sixers, Bucks, Pacers, Wizards and Pistons. Finally, I rant about how much I don't care about tanking.

Jared Dubin jumped on the podcast to discuss his latest piece on the Houston Rockets, the rookie of the year race and New York City NBA.

NOTE: Please excuse the audio quality for Jared. I'm still getting used to my new microphone.

Dave and Paul delve into the teams that stayed pat at the deadline, including the Raptors and Clippers. We also talked the Cavs big moves, team-building and the playoff race.

Dave and Paul jumped on periscope to take questions and discuss what's going on around the league. The Cavs, injuries, the Blake Griffin trade and more.

Coach Nick jumped on the podcast to discuss:

*Will the Timberwolves's 3rd ranked offense translate in the playoffs?

*Is Karl-Anthony Towns underused?

*What's going on with Markelle Fultz?

*League MVP and ROY discussion

*Kevin Love trade ideas

Jeff Garcia, host of the Locked On Spurs podcast, joined Paul on the show to discuss rumors of tension between the Spurs and injured star Kawhi Leonard, as well as our picks for the western conference all-stars (reserves and starters).

Max Lederman (of NBCS Boston) dropped by the podcast to discuss the bombshell news of Jason Kidd's firing, our eastern conference all-star picks (starters and reserves), as well as potential drawbacks of a mythical Anthony Davis trade and the future of the Boston Celtics.

Dave jumped on the pod to discuss IT's first game back, tribute videos, Paul Pierce's legacy (and how he would fare today), plus plenty of our usual ramblings and digressions.
