00:00 The NBA playoff race is heating up.
00:04 When you look at the Western Conference, which team is cooking at the right time?
00:08 >> The team that I've been telling you every week, Brie, the Nuggets.
00:13 >> Yeah.
00:13 >> I mean, I told you they were gonna pass the Timberwolves,
00:16 who's been a great story, the Thunder, who've been a great story all year.
00:20 If it wasn't for Kyrie Irving's amazing 20-foot left-handed hook at the buzzer,
00:26 which I've still, I've never seen a game ender like that.
00:28 >> Yeah.
00:29 >> If it wasn't for that shot, the Nuggets will be the number one seed.
00:31 It's just a matter of time till they are the number one seed.
00:34 They're playing the best, they are the best.
00:36 I think there's major separation between the Nuggets and the West.
00:40 Just like in the East, there's the Celtics in the East.
00:42 >> Right, okay, back to the East, with the NBA playoffs approaching.
00:47 >> Right. >> Who's cooking?
00:48 >> While we look at, is that the Celtics way up there?
00:52 They're ten games ahead in the stand, which is unheard of.
00:54 >> Yeah, you've got such a clump when it comes to teams six through ten,
00:58 in the West and in the East.
00:59 >> Exactly, in the East, what I'm watching for is home court is always vital in
01:03 the NBA first round of playoffs.
01:06 And two teams that are hot, two teams that are jockeying for that,
01:09 the Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks.
01:11 They both, I think, won seven out of ten.
01:13 They had four or five game winning streaks.
01:15 It's starting to be winning time, starting to be crunch time.
01:18 You do not wanna be on the road in the NBA playoffs.
01:20 So Magic and the Heat are probably playing the best basketball in the East.
01:24 They'll never catch the Celtics, but
01:25 they're trying to get home in the first round.
01:27 >> I love that as the play-in tournament is approaching,
01:30 teams are really ramping up.
01:31 You can tell that there's a playoff atmosphere this whole week.
01:34 >> Yeah. >> It's been great.
01:35 >> Fans love the play-in, and teams are like, my God, I hate the play-in.
01:38 And so it's fascinating.
01:40 >> [LAUGH]
