The Exchange - And Now, the NBA Playoff Push Can Begin

Trade deadline passed. Ten-day contracts are becoming regular occurences. Each injury tests the depth of contenders while providing opportunities for the pretenders. Whistles are louder and more critical. With all of that in front of us, the final eight weeks of the NBA season promise an entertaining - and probably infuriating for some - frenzy.

Sumt and Jason bring you the latest edition of The Exchange and are joined by Sheridan Hoops and The Sports Fan Journal columnist Esau Howard to talk about what to see in this critical stretch. They'll talk about the legitimacy of the Phoenix Suns, potential shifts between the third and eighth seeds in the Eastern Conference, the curiosity of Evan Turner and the contending Indiana Pacers and plenty more.
