To get it done before the action begins but while you all are filling out your brackets at home we’re going to do a little fill-in the blank in studio what we’re going to do is hop around the basketball landscape have you all give me a word that best sums up your

Reaction to any given moment that happened over the weekend you got it you ready all right let’s do it Brian windhorse my friend virt eyes because we’re starting with your Alma moer Kent State who took thought this was an NBA show over akan with 6.2 seconds left but

Then julus Rollins proceeded to foul on purpose all as though they had the lead Brian God fill in the blank I thought this was an NBA show this foul my guy what this foul was pain oh Brian they had him beat look as I told Rob there was 6 seconds left akan

Had a timeout maybe they call a time maybe they call a timeout and set up a game winning play I could they could have lost seven or eight is feeling this pain for you I didn’t like seeing that I I didn’t even see that footage till now all right well this also happened

This weekend Brian we won’t we won’t Revel in or sit too long in your pain love you Rob this is the final 15 seconds of the Warriors Lakers game it lasted for over 20 20 minutes of real time thanks to a series of Replay reviews shot clock malfunctions Austin fill in the blank

The Lakers Warriors ending was what sir I’m going with the the Irishman ending I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie lot of star power just like that game had you know alucino Robert dairo LeBron James Stephen Curry but it was just too damn long I couldn’t that that was just

Ridiculous at some point it became comical it just kept going and going and going it was funny and then it wasn’t yeah exactly few minutes it was funny and then it was like right what are we going to have to come into Studio to fil and see what

This is going to happen all right this happened on Saturday night though right Jaylen Brunson the Knicks this was one of the best games of the Season beat the Kings 9891 thanks to 42 from the Knicks Allstar so perk did you see this this move though fill in the brink jayen

Brunson’s move that he put on Keon Ellis where’d he go what happened there whoop was what oh my gosh controller Brook finished over two by the way just insane yeah that was I’m not writing that much it was Triple B’s big body Brunson and it don’t mean look just physicality that

Means all across the board that means the craftiness that means everything by the way congratulate to uh congratulations to Jay Le Bron the Eastern Conference player of the week well let’s head to the West now after we we saw the Eastern Conference player of the week Zion has the Pelicans only a

Game out of fourth place Williamson is averaging 28.6 points on 63% shooting in his last five games his most points over a five game span this season so Mr windhorse the Pelicans they will finish as which seed in the west I’m going to say look I’m going to say five but I’m

Going to point something out the only reason I’m saying five is because their schedule is hard I I know no one’s maybe pay attention the Clippers have struggled the Clippers now have a onegame lead over the Pelicans in the L column and the Pelicans have the tie break Clippers better watch out

Because this could turn into a four legit in a couple weeks five I I’m going with the four I got the I got the Pelicans as my sleeper to come out of the western conference right now they’re clicking on all cylinders and by the way Zion Williamson looks engaged he’s

Speaking with confidence he’s playing with confidence this is Zion Williamson that we’ve been waiting on yeah I agree with Wendy going to five five four somewhere around there five I like this team I I’ve talked about it all season the length that they have the size Zion’s tapping in right now

I still see them as the middle of the pack though we also talked about how matchup wise they’re the one team that when they’re they’re firing on all cylinders like you mentioned you actually feel good about them not matchup dependent they kind of have a little bit of everything which is

Different than some of the higher seeds that we’re talking about in the Western Conference like oh yeah the the Timberwolves could Advance if they get these certain matchups yeah and I love their depth you’re making a reference to there they can play a lot of different ways they can go down their bench

They’re not even playing Zion that many minutes not playing Brandon Ingram that many minutes and it’s their position to make a run here well let’s go to some concerning news out of Cleveland after returning from a seven game absence due to a PRP injection Donovan Mitchell expressed his frustration at not blowing

By Defenders that’s his words due to that knee he seemed resigned to needing a little bit of extra rest here so Brian they will make which round in the playoffs perk Austin you can answer this as well they’re going to make the second round I’m going to say because I believe

That Donovan will be okay hopefully by the end of the season but they have a now two game lead on the Knicks the Knicks are right up on them after having a big lead for the three four you fall into four all of a sudden you’re on the same side of the bracket

As the Celtics the Cavs were thinking they were going to get two now Donovan’s back out again Evan Mobley and Max streu are out tonight in Indiana the Cavs have been derailed here by injuries that’s Silling is a first round exit agre it’s it’s it’s concerning right now and right now

You’re looking at the Eastern Conference we we know the Miami Heat is lurking right we know what the Boston Celtics are going to do we we seeing flashes from Giannis and the bucks with Dame doll doing his thing under Doc Rivers and the Knicks I thought I was watching a

Football game the other night that’s how physical they playing you just just whack yourself in Le until you said it I’m going first round exit yeah shout out to Donovan Mitchell big fan of his game I love Garland I love some of the talent they have there but we saw last

Year in the playoffs they strugg physicality right now they matched up with the Knicks or possibly the magic both teams play physical and play defense they just don’t match up wise I don’t see them getting it together and beating either of those teams first round I don’t when they’re healthy

They’re very good shout out to Orlando one C star we’re going to go from one C star to another we all saw that Lefty game winner that Kyrie Irving hit against the Nuggets that we started our show with I feel like we need to see it one more time it was that

Insane crazy we need to G we we need to fill in the blank here this shot was what is the the Kendrick Perkins we ask him often to do a word of the day for us I need a word of the day for from from
