Podcasts about Eastern Conference

Hawks — 3:36Should the Hawks trade Trae Young plus two juicy Bucks/Pels picks for Giannis, and how would that look from both teams' perspectives?If the Hawks keep Trae, re-sign him reasonably, and just add this incoming Pelicans pick, can that path ever realistically lead to a championship?Do you buy Onyeka Okongwu's three-point shooting, and if you do, is he a top-15 center in the league?Celtics — 13:20If you're the Celtics, how should you play out the rest of the season—go all out because there's no super-team in the East, or pull back at some point to protect health?How useful will their increased turnover forcing and more egalitarian offense be once Jayson Tatum returns, and which rotation guys could actually be part of a high-level playoff rotation?Is Jaylen Brown genuinely improved compared to prior years, or is it mostly that the mid-range is falling more; and if it's shot luck, how long would he have to sustain this for it to be “real”?Nets — 22:36Is Michael Porter more valuable to the Nets as an on-court player to get them back into the playoff mix, or as a trade asset?Can you do as deep a dive as possible on Noah Clowney's game and development?Were pundits too quick to call the Nets' draft a disaster given how much their rookies are now playing?Hornets — 31:06What has happened to LaMelo Ball—he was an All-Star before, so is this decline just injuries and lack of progression?What are some potential trades for Miles Bridges, Ball, and Sexton?Do you sense a shift in the Hornets' organizational philosophy under the new regime?Bulls — 39:10John Hollinger has said the Suns turned down the Pelicans/Hawks pick deal; do you know if that exact deal (or better) was offered to other teams like the Bulls or Blazers, or is that just logical inference?Should the Bulls go all-in and trade for Anthony Davis, and what could they realistically get for Coby White if Artūras Karnišovas canvassed the league?The Bulls are trying to make up for their talent deficit by running on everything—does that strategy backfire (more injuries, better teams separating with more possessions), or is it actually their best path?Cavs — 50:20How concerned are you about the Cavs' bad start, and in particular about Darius Garland's play and health?What are your thoughts on Jaylon Tyson's development so far?Should Cleveland start trying to get out of the second apron, and what would it take to do that?Pistons — 58:06Good or bad, what has been the most surprising thing about the Eastern Conference so far this season?Besides Giannis and Lauri Markkanen, what other players would be a good fit for the Pistons and actually gettable?Would Sam Hauser be a good target for the Pistons given his price point and role, and how does he fit relative to what they already have (e.g. Duncan Robinson–type shooters)?

Cavs continue to struggle in a watered down Eastern Conference while the C's are surging.

The Celtics beat the Raptors 121-113 and have moved into 3rd place in the Eastern Conference!!!! After an 0-3 start to this season, I don't think anybody expected this type of turnaround and certainly not this fast but here we are. I did say coming into this season that this team was going to be a lot of fun to watch but they probably weren't going to be much more than a .500 team. I was certainly wrong about the record but I was definitely right about how much fun this team has been. Mazzulla has these guys all bought in and playing their hearts out and it has been awesome to see so many guys on different nights contributing to their success. Derrick White and JB were huge in tonight's win but they really did get contributions all over the place. White had some clutch shots and defensive plays down the stretch and JB was 6-6 from the FT line in the 4th solidifying this win.

The guys are back — and this episode goes completely off the rails. What starts as Thanksgiving talk turns into a debate about U.S. geography, maps lying, and America's lack of high-speed rail… before the crew finally gets to the Magic, the Raptors, and the Eastern Conference race.In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Michael, and Alejandro return with a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation that wanders far beyond basketball. The trio starts by joking about how hard it's been to get all four hosts together and how life schedules, grad school, and the holidays keep throwing the lineup off. A simple Thanksgiving recap quickly spirals into a comedic debate about “white people food,” Jamaican and Haitian dishes, and the lack of good island restaurants in certain cities.Travel talk transitions into a surprisingly serious discussion of U.S. geography. The guys go off about how big Florida actually is, why people misunderstand state sizes, how map projections lie, and why driving across America feels drastically different from traveling across Europe. Naturally, this sparks a passionate rant about the U.S. lacking a modern rail system, the history behind it, and how high-speed trains could completely change American travel.Eventually, the crew pulls themselves back to basketball — starting with the Orlando Magic. Jordon breaks down attending the recent Magic vs. Bulls game, covering the crowd energy, key runs, Anthony Black's contributions, and standout performances from Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane. The guys debate how the offense shifts when Paolo Banchero is in or out of the lineup, whether Orlando plays more freely without him, and what the Magic must do moving forward to become a true contender in the East.The conversation then shifts to Toronto, where the Raptors' surprisingly balanced start becomes the focus. The crew analyzes Scottie Barnes' continued rise, RJ Barrett's driving, Brandon Ingram's fit, and Jakob Poeltl's underrated importance. They discuss the team's sustainability, how the offense collapses when Poeltl sits, and whether Toronto has enough talent to keep pace in a suddenly deep Eastern Conference.From there, the guys break down the entire East — the Knicks' consistency, the Cavs' up-and-down performances, Milwaukee's potential deadline moves, and the Heat being the Heat. They also compare the development paths of the Magic and Raptors to teams like the 2022 Celtics and the Suns, emphasizing long-term growth, chemistry, and not rushing to blow things up.The episode is packed with laughs, real hoops analysis, friendly debates, and the classic Off the Screen chaos that listeners love. Whether you're here for NBA breakdowns or to hear three friends argue about Idaho, this one has everything.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – 02:00 | Intro, three-man lineup, schedule struggles02:00 – 07:00 | Thanksgiving talk, Jamaican/Haitian food, traveling07:00 – 12:00 | Geography rabbit hole: Florida size, maps lying, state rankings12:00 – 14:30 | U.S. infrastructure & high-speed rail rant14:30 – 17:00 | Finally… basketball.
