HEYO! It’s been a whirlwind of a week in the NBA, but now that the play-in tournament is over, it’s time to get to the good stuff: the playoffs.

There’s much more to this sport than meets the eye of Bend It Like Beckham and She’s the Man (though let’s be real, those are cinematic masterpieces).

The GIST: The NCAA giveth, the NCAA taketh away. Though we’re celebrating sports being reinstated and a historic promotion, we’re also feeling frustrated about some disappointing news coming out of the college sports world.

The GIST: The Mavs begin their playoff run on Saturday, the Wings’ coaching staff is working harder than anyone and the Cowboys have some early bulletin board material thanks to a broadcasting legend. Everyone’s fired up in the Big D!

The GIST: The NBA has done us dirty by only giving us one play-in tournament game, instead of a full series, between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. We deserve more.
