The Mavericks, led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, currently hold the eighth position in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Warriors with Stephen Curry, and the Lakers with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, occupy the ninth and tenth spots in the West, respectively. This means that all three teams would participate in the play-in tournament if the season ended today.
On the other hand, in the Eastern Conference, the Heat is currently the seventh seed (play-in), and the Bucks hold the third position. However, the Milwaukee team has not been performing well under the guidance of Doc Rivers.
In the early part of the episode, Gui and Léo discuss the dismissal of coach Jacque Vaughn. The Brooklyn Nets will now have an interim coach (Kevin Ollie) until the end of the season, and the search for a new head coach will only begin in the offseason. Expectations are that the franchise will make some roster changes during the break.
Additionally, the Splash Brothers introduce two prospects from this year’s draft, Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard, both guards having a strong season at the University of Kentucky. Both players are projected to be top 10 picks in the upcoming draft.
