Episode Description from the Publisher

Iman Shumpert and Ahrii shift the focus to the teams that actually matter right now — the ones in the playoffs. From the Lakers and Nuggets in the West to the Celtics, Cavaliers, and more in the East, they break down which teams look real, which ones have questions, and who's actually built for a deep run. They get into matchups, roster strengths, and the difference between regular season success and playoff basketball — including where teams like the Heat, Clippers, and Warriors stand under pressure. Plus, a bigger debate: is Donovan Mitchell the best 2 guard in the East right now? If you're trying to figure out who can really win — this is the conversation.
