Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello preview Steve’s latest “13 rules, random NBA thoughts” after the second week of the 2025–26 playoffs, running through first-round series and key takeaways. They note a trend that every champion since 2014 has won the first round in five games or fewer, citing Oklahoma City and San Antonio as examples. They discuss Portland and Phoenix as teams needing more high-end talent, and Atlanta’s blowout loss to New York, arguing the Hawks need a true seven-footer and an “alpha” despite being closer than a 50-point margin suggests. They analyze Houston’s collapse against the Lakers amid injuries and roster fit issues, Minnesota eliminating Denver despite injuries, and Philadelphia upsetting Boston in seven—ending a Celtics playoff streak over the Sixers dating to 1982—crediting Embiid’s size, Maxey, and hot shooting. They also pick Detroit over Orlando and Cleveland over Toronto in Game 7s and highlight RJ Barrett’s rare high-bounce rim shot.
