The playoff landscape is changing on a nightly basis – The Drop Step crew attempts to cover it all, from the teams that look like real contenders, to the teams whose futures are in flux, to the elephant in the room, the announcement that Rajon Rondo is done for the season for the Mavericks.

The NBA Playoffs are almost here, but before that, we get to some stuff we might’ve missed from around the league, leading with Rajon Rondo’s value as he moves toward free agency this summer. Also: a nod to The Sandbox, and the sad realization that only 12 guys from the 90’s are left in the NBA today, and one of them is Nazr Mohammed. Knuckle Pushups: Playoff Pod!

Patty Smyth. Appeared in the NBA Playoffs as recently as 2011. For the now-Pelicans, that seems like a decade ago. Chris Paul is long gone.

Monta Ellis, another shoot-first wanderer, had a fantastic first s...
