156 - MAILBAG: Blazers Postmortem, OKC/UTA, Cavs, NOP/Boogie, Underrated Players

MAIIIIIL TIME.

In Hardwood Knocks' first postseason mailbag, Andy and Dan tackle all things playoffs-related. Their journey takes them into the surprising developments behind the Jazz-Thunder series and down the Russell Westbrook legacy rabbit hole. They also explore DeMarcus Cousins' free agency; Utah's ceiling in a potential matchup with Houston; Portland's next course of action after falling to New Orleans; Philadelphia's ability to make it out of the Eastern Conference; Cleveland's weird effort against Indiana; and the most underrated performers of the postseason so far.

And oh! Other things are talked about as well—including, but not only, the best defensive guards of the playoffs to date. So let's get cracking!
