Along with Bunche we preview the 2025 NBA playoffs. We rank each playoff team (and the remaining play-in teams as of Friday April 18th) from 1 to 18 in terms of quality. We ask how far can the team go, one thing to like, and one thing not to like. We also follow-up on last week's top 10 pod by finishing out the remaining players of interest as we get to their respective teams. Timestamps included, and hope you enjoy!
