Just FIVE games to go, and the standings are as close as ever! The Dallas Mavericks sit outside the play-ins despite Luka and Kyrie’s best efforts. We discuss what the Mavs need to do to keep their playoff hopes alive, as well as their Western conference opponents - OKC, Lakers, Pels and Wolves - all vying for the last play-in spots. The Kings clinch a spot in the playoffs, breaking their 16 year drought, and we take a look back at the crazy discussion of last season’s trade that got them there. We also add our take on the increase in rescinded technical fouls, and what the league can do in-game to improve referee calls.
