Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu Play-Off'larda ikinci maçların tamamlanmasının ardından mikrofon başına geçiyor. Her zamanki gibi Doğu Konferansı eşleşmelerinin değerlendirilmesiyle başlayan sohbette ilk olarak Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat eşleşmesi konuşuluyor. Cleveland'ın sezon boyunca ortaya koyduğu hücum standartının şimdiye kadar Miami Heat'i ne kadar zorladığı ve Cavaliers'ta Donovan Mitchell'ın performansının konuşulmasının ardından Jimmy Butler'ın ayrılığı sonrası nasıl bir Play-Off geçireceği merak edilen Heat'te Tyler Herro ve Davion Mitchell'ın takıma kattıkları mercek altına alınıyor. Ardından Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Magic'in Franz Wagner ve Paolo Banchero haricinde hücumda eksiklik hissetmesi ve skor üretememesinin Boston açısından işleri nasıl kolaylaştırdığı, serinin ikinci maçında Jason Tatum'un yokluğunda Jaylen Brown'un performansı ve iki takım arasındaki kadro kalitesinin incelenmeisnin ardından Konferansın "old school" eşleşmesi olan New York Knicks-Detroit Pistons eşleşmesine geçiliyor. Pistons'ta Malik Beasley ve Dennis Schröder'in performanslarının Cade Cunningham'i rahatlatması, New York Knicks'in kısıtlı rotasyonla oynaması ve ikinci maçtaki zayıf hücum performansının konuşulmasıyla birlikte Doğu Konferansı'nın son eşleşmesi olan Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks eşleşmesi masaya yatırılıyor. Indiana'da özellikle Andrew Nembhard'ın kendinden emin oyun karakterinin Tyrese Haliburton'ın yaratıcılığıyla birleşmesinin, Damian Lillard'ın yokluğunda Bucks'a adeta tek başına liderlik etmek durumunda kalan Giannis Antetokounmpo'yu nasıl etkilediği konuşulan konular arasında. Ardından Batı Konferansı değerlendirmelerine geçiliyor. Oklahoma City Thunder ve Memphis Grizzlies eşleşmesinde, Grizzlies'in son Play-In maçından 36 saat sonra Thunder deplasmanına çıkmasındaki şanssızlık ve takımlar arasındaki kalite farkının üstünde duruluyor. Scottie Pippen Jr'ın Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'a yönelik savunmasının övgüleri toplamasının ardından Houston Rockets-Golden State Warriors eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Warriors'ta özellike Jimmy Butler'ın sakatlığının ikinci maçın kaybedilmesindeki nedenlerden biri olduğu, ilk maçta beklenti altında kalan Jalen Green'in ikinci maçta iyi bir performans göstermesi ve Rockets'ta henüz istenen katkılı veremeyen Fred Van Vleet ve Amen Thompson'ın performanslarının maçlar üzerindeki etkisi hakkındaki saptamaların ardından Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves eşleşmesi ile devam ediliyor. Jaden McDaniels ve Anthony Edwards'ın performanslarının karşısında Lakers cephesinde Luka Doncic'in performansı, yine Lakers'ın Jaxson Hayes'e seride az süre vermek zorunda olması ve bu eşleşmenin Rockets-Warriors eşleşmesine yönelik benzerliklerinin konuşulmasıyla programın son bölümü şu ana kadarki en heyecanlı eşleşme olarak ön plana çıkan Los Angeles Clippers-Denver Nuggets mücadelesine ayrılıyor. Seride oynanan iki maçın da kaderini son topların belirlemesi, Clippers'ın Harden-Zubac üzerinden kurguladığı Pick&Roll oyununu Kawhi Leonard ile desteklemesi, Denver'da Michael Porter Jr. ve Aaron Gordon'un performansları bu bölümde değerlendiriliyor. İkinci maçta hayal kırıklığına yaratan performansına rağmen maçı triple doube ile maçı bitiren Nikola Jokic ve uzun süre hafızalardan silinmeyecek "Prime" Kawhi Leonard performansı... Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde!
