Mavs Struggles + A Jam-Packed Western Conference

Today, we cover the ins and outs of how tight the Western Conference standings are in the NBA right now, with seeds 6-12 fighting to make a playoff push while being 2 games apart! We touch on the MVP race with Jokic and Embiid and grade the trades which took place before the deadline. We also talk about the Patrick Beverly Effect in Chicago and how the Lakers are struggling to maintain .500, which might come back to bite them come the end of the regular season, which is a mere 7 games away for most teams!
