The Pistons have a promising future, with Cade Cunningham earning his first All Star selection this season at age 23.

Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, NBA'de Play-Off eşleşmelerini ve bu eşleşmelere yönelik beklentilerini anlatıyor. Her zaman olduğu gibi Doğu Konferansı ile başlayan sohbette Cleveland Cavaliers'ın henüz rakibi belli olmamışken, Miami Heat-Atlanta Hawks eşleşmesinin galibi ile karşılaşacak Cavs'in muhtemel rakibi olarak Miami Heat ön plana çıkarılıyor. Heat'te Taylor Herro ve Bam Adebayo'nun oturmuş rollerinin yanı sıra Kal'el Ware'in özellikle Adebayo ile birlikte oynarken gösterdiği performans ön plana çıkarılırken, takımın en önemli Play-Off oyuncularından Jimmy Butler'ın ayrılığının bu süreçteki sonuçları mercek altına alınıyor. Doğu Konferansı'nın 2-7 eşleşmesi olarak karşımıza çıkan Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic eşleşmesinde son şampiyon Celtics'te Jayson Tatum'un liderliğinde özellikle bu sezon kariyer sezonlarını geçiren Payton Pritchard ve Luke Kornet gibi isimlerin performansları değerlendirilirken, Magic cephesindeki skor üretim sıkıntıları hakkında yorumlar yapılıyor. Konferansın en "old school" olarak adlandırılabilecek Play-Off eşleşmesi olarak ön plana çıkan New York Knicks-Detroit Pistons eşleşmesinde tansiyonun yükselebileceği ihtimali üzerinde durulurken, Pistons'ta Cade Cunningham'in skor alternatifinin olmayışı, Ausar Thompson'ın mevcut formu ve genel takım yapısı değerlendiriliyor. Doğu'nun son eşleşmesi olan Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks eşleşmesinde ise Damien Lillard'ın yokluğunda Bucks'ın nasıl bir alternatif sunacağı, Giannis'in MVP seviyesi performansı ve Pacers'ta Tyrese Haliburton'ın önemi ekseninde yorumlar yapılıyor. Batı Konferansı'nda ise rakibini bekleyen Oklahoma City Thunder'ın Memphis Grizzlies-Dallas Mavericks eşleşmesinin galibini beklemesi, turu geçmesi durumunda Dallas Mavericks'i bekleyen olası hezimet ve Memphis'te Desmond Bane'in, Ja Morant'in alternatifi olup olmadığı konuları üzerinde duruluyor. Ardından Houston Rockets-Golden State Warriors eşleşmesinde özellikle Warriors cephesinin, Rockets'ın hücum ribauntları konusundaki tehditlerine nasıl bir çözüm üreteceği, Podziemski ve Curry'nin bu alandaki etkisi ve Jonathan Kuminga'nın ihtimal dahilindeki forma süresi değerlendiriliyor. Rockets'ta oyuncu grubunun Play-Off tecrübesi olmaması ve Jalen Green'in son haftalardaki düşük sayılabilecek formunun bu eşleşmenin akıbetindeki etkisinin değerlendirilmesinin ardından Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Timberwolves'un sezon boyunca saha içinde öne çıkan özelliklerinin Lakers'a karşı çözüm olup olamayacağı, Luka Doncic & Jaden McDaniles eşleşmesi ve tabii ki Le'Bron James'in ortaya koyabileceklerinin değerlendirilmesinin ardından Batı'nın son eşleşmesi olan Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Clippers eşleşmesi, programın kapanışında kendine yer buluyor. Nikola Jokic'in karşısında sezon boyunca gösterdiği iyi performansı devam ettirip ettiremeyeceği konuşulan Ivica Zubac, Clippers'ta James Harden'ın bu sezon üstlendiği oyun kurucu rolüne Kawhi Leonard'ın olumlu katkısı ve Denver Nuggets'ta Jamal Murray'nin durumu...

After a quick recap of their time together in Denver, Bryce and Omari get right to business covering the leg injury Jaden Ivey suffered in the 4th quarter against the Orlando Magic Wednesday night. At the time of recording the morning after on 1/2/25, the full extent of Ivey’s injury was not yet known and the guys react in real time to Ivey’s injury report towards the end of the pod. Operating with the mindset that Ivey’s injury would be severe enough to miss an extended amount of time this season, the guys analyze the nexts steps forward for the team. How might J.B. Bickerstaff alter the roster? Is now the time to start Marcus Sasser? What moves are available with Ausar Thompson and Ron Holland? How much can the veterans on the team fill in for Ivey’s production? Will Ivey’s injury change the team’s calculus at the trade deadline? Should the team make moves to win games now or treat this year solely as an evaluation season? Bryce and Omari explore these questions and options.

The guys talk Cade’s performance as a two-way player and how well the team looks when he’s paired with Ron Holland and Ausar Thompson. How well do Thompson and Holland compliment Cade? In an evaluation type of year for both, how well have Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey defined their roles on the team so far? Which players can serve as pillars the team can build around? Have the guys changed their thoughts on how the team should approach the trade deadline or off season? To close out the show, Wes joins the pod but Bryce plays host this time around in a new trivia segment.
