Eight NBA teams are vying for the Western Conference's final six playoff seeds, and things are starting to get weird. Everyone is worthy, and no one is safe. Can the Spurs survive the NBA's toughest remaining schedule without Kawhi Leonard? Could the Thunder really, actually, possibly miss the playoffs? Is the Blazers' recent streak for real? Should the Nuggets be concerned about their Paul Millsap-Nikola Jokic dynamic? Can Anthony Davis carry the Pelicans to home-court advantage? Do either of the Jazz or Clippers have the juice to escape lottery territory? Should the Timberwolves be considered done without Jimmy Butler? NBA Math's founder Adam Fromal joined Andy and Dan to try making sense of the Western Conference's hectic playoff race, while also taking an in-depth look at the league's swathe of tank jobs.
