SG: The Cauldron. Separating the wheat from the chaff in a Western Conference playoff bracket that doesn’t seem to include any chaff.
PG: Hardwood Paroxysm. “Since Smoove’s Been Gone.” Apologies for putting this song into your head for the rest of the night.
6th: Grizzly Bear Blues. On the potential abandonment of the “superstar era,” as teams attempt to find new ways to construct teams.
7th: Bleacher Report. Should the Clippers consider trading Jamal Crawford to beef up their depth?

9th: Mavs Moneyball. The Dallas Mavericks, with Rajon Rondo in tow, are starting to get it together.
