The Real NBA Contender List and Write-Off Teams. Plus, Booger McFarland on the Dangerous Chiefs, Tomlin’s Future, and Caleb Concerns.

At roughly the halfway point of the NBA season, Russillo opens with the list of teams who could win the title and explains why other teams didn't make the cut (00:36). Next, he chats with ESPN’s Booger McFarland about how dangerous the Chiefs really are, why Mike Tomlin and the Steelers need to make a drastic move, why he’s worried about Caleb Williams, and who he likes in the divisional round this weekend (27:00). Finally, the guys close it out with some listener-submitted Life Advice questions (1:04:07).
