The playoffs are upon us. Along with Berry Tramel, we dissect the Thunder's first-round matchup with the Grizzlies and make predictions. Plus, we breakdown the rest of the NBA postseason bracket.

With the season in its final week, we reveal our postseason NBA Awards, including the MVP, Coach of the Year and more. Darnell finds a way, like always, to overrate another batch of players and Mike Sherman joins the podcast to explain why the way we vote on awards may be flawed.

With the streaking San Antonio Spurs in town on Thursday, we discuss whether they are now the favorites to come out of the West. Would OKC beat them in a 7-game series? Why has Reggie Jackson torched them? And what's up with the Indiana Pacers?

We recap the Thunder's loss in Dallas and ask: Is Scott Brooks' defensive philosophy to blame for the 3-point issues? Then we debate the Thunder's continued limitations on Russell Westbrook. Is it an example of coddling or an understandably reserved tactic? Plus, Darnell acts like Andrew Bynum matters again.

The Thunder is sticking to its plan to limit Russell Westbrook's minutes and rest him on back-to-backs. Is that an overly cautious approach? Will it cost them in the long run? We talk about all that and more, including a Jeremy Lamb segment, in our latest episode.

Was Tuesday's Thunder-Rockets showdown the most contentious regular season game you can remember? Was the Patrick Beverley play dirty? Is James Harden v Scott Brooks becoming a thing? We talk about all that and more on this week's edition of the Thunder Buddies podcast.

Has LeBron James closed the gap in the MVP? Does the Thunder have a fatal flaw that could eliminate them come late in the playoffs? We are joined by former OU receiver and current radio analyst PJ Mills to discuss some hot hoops topics.

Kendrick Perkins is out up to six weeks with a groin injury. Is this concerning for the Thunder? Where could it be beneficial? We have an emergency podcast to discuss.

We recap the Thunder's disappointing loss to Miami, going over which developments mattered and which ones didn't. Then we talk about potential buy-out options for the Thunder and Darnell reveals his best All-Star weekend story.

With the season past its halfway point, we revisit our Finals picks and alter our projections. Has OKC become the favorite to win it all? Who can challenge them in the West? Will Indiana upend Miami in the East? And what is the best city for All-Star weekend?
