Nic returned this week for a short, sharp episode giving his thoughts on who's feeling the most pressure leading into the playoffs.
One player that would undoubtedly be feeling the pressure is Kevin Durant. With a team around him that's poised for a championship run, clinching a third title would certainly help cement his legacy as one of the all time greats of the game.
Likewise, since joining the Bucks midseason, Doc Rivers would be feeling a little hot under the collar. After the shock...

Many basketball fans would agree with the notion that the NBA trade deadline is undoubtedly one of the most exciting points in the season.
Whilst there weren't too many league altering moves made, there were still certainly enough moves that could help shape the playoff picture.
Philly were certainly big winners with their acquisition of Buddy Hield, whilst the Knicks also made substantial upgrades.
On the opposite side of this, the Bulls and Hawks might have both missed big opportunities to...
