Podcasts about Eastern Conference

The boys kick things off by gauging their interest level in the Winter Olympics. Then they dive into the biggest surprise of the NBA season: how the Boston Celtics have managed to shatter expectations without Jayson Tatum and where they belong in the Eastern Conference power rankings. From there, they zoom out to size up the other championship contenders across the league and break down the biggest looming questions as the NBA heads into the final stretch of the regular season. The guys also touch on what's been an electric college hoops season before wrapping up with a look at the strange but undeniable appeal of Netflix's boxing and MMA spectacle events featuring aging celebrity “fighters.”

Audacy NBA Insider Nick Friedell stops by to talk all things NBA, including who deserves the blame for the Lakers struggles between Luka and LeBron, are the Spurs legitimate Finals contenders, who is the right side in Celtics-Nuggets, and how would he handicap the wide open Eastern Conference?

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle welcome in Audacy NBA Insider Nick Friedell to talk all things NBA, including who deserves the blame for the Lakers struggles between Luka and LeBron, are the Spurs legitimate Finals contenders, who is the right side in Celtics-Nuggets, and how would he handicap the wide open Eastern Conference? Then, we play a game of March Multiple choice answering a handful of College Basketball multiple choice questions, including which current team projected on the #5 line is the most prone to a first round exit, which current Big Ten bubble team is the most likely to miss the tournament, and which team currently on the 8-9 line is most likely to upset a #1 seed? The hour wraps by welcoming in Producer Brandon Combs for a game of Hot or Cold, debating if Florida is currently the best value on the board to win a National Championship, and is the NFL Combine overhyped?

It was a loaded hour of basketball drama and sports philosophy. The Knicks' offense stalled again, Karl-Anthony Towns disappeared, and the finger-pointing is officially underway. Is it on KAT for not demanding the ball, on the coach for not forcing the issue, or on Jalen Brunson for slipping into hero ball instead of running the team? Plus, a major playoff wrinkle: Mitchell Robinson's impact raises a real question about whether the Knicks' starting lineup needs to change when games actually matter. Then the focus shifts to Cleveland, where the addition of James Harden suddenly has people rethinking the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Are the Cavaliers finally a legitimate threat, or is this just another chapter in Harden's long history of regular-season hype and postseason disappointment? Knicks fans weigh in on whether they fear Cleveland at all and how the East really stacks up right now. The conversation takes a surprising turn into a heated debate about legacy and loyalty: what matters more to athletes, winning for their country or winning for their franchise? With Olympic baseball on the horizon and the World Baseball Classic looming, the guys ask how New York would react if a star like Aaron Judge ever said a gold medal meant more than a World Series. The answer might not be pretty. From lineup decisions to contender credibility to the emotional divide between fans and players, this hour covers everything fueling the current sports conversation.

Malik Willis Mania is here! Is he the answer or just another name? Ken and Lima deliver the hottest takes on what the Browns should do in the draft. The duo also cashes in on the Cavs and debate how the big win over the Knicks affects the Eastern Conference.

Ken Carman predicted the Cleveland Cavaliers will be the team to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals and the victory over New York has him riding high. He and Lima breakdown the Cavs victory and discuss what it means looking forward.

Mike Gallagher, Drew Dinkmeyer and Austin Yamada begin to take a look at the Eastern Conference playoffs, assessing how the matchups could align and which teams have an actual chance at making a run for a championship.

On this episode, Mike and Jason discuss the the biggest weaknesses for each of the four Eastern Conference Contenders: the Cavs, Pistons, Knicks, and Celtics. Next they breakdown the possibility that Wemby's career could surpass that of Nikola Jokic before looking at the Spurs chances of reaching this year's NBA Finals. They wrap up the pod with a quick discussion of which teams could realistically win the West.Visit our Sponsors!Give With HoopsGive With Hoops is a groundbreaking initiative that fuses basketball analytics with modern sponsorship.

Terms and conditions apply.Sitting at 32-26 on the season, it is officially safe to say that the Sixers are the Wild Card team of the Eastern Conference. The biggest question remains per usual... can Joel Embiid and Paul George stay healthy and on the floor for a playoff run? If so, the Sixers could be dangerous especially with the way Tyrese Maxey has been playing. Additionally, the Celtics have been playing some great basketball without Jayson Tatum this season, so the news that he is getting ready to return should shake up a chaotic conference even more. Lastly, James Harden sustained a thumb fracture and the Cavaliers may be in a bit of trouble. Which team do you think should be the favorite to come out of the Eastern Conference with 25 games left in the season?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a sexy choice to come out of the Eastern Conference, but is Evan Mobley holding them back? Ken and Lima bring the hoops action bright and early on The Fan.

Jones and Keefe responded to Kendrick Perkins' comments about the Boston Celtics playing with house money. Before the Clip Du Jour and the Crossover with WEEI Afternoons, it's the Grab Bag.

3 O'clock Hour :00 – Carl and Mike get into some more football talk and share thoughts on the Falcons GM Ian Cunningham saying they have not started any conversations regarding resigning Kaden Ellis and agree that while Ellis was a valuable player, the team could be better off allowing the linebacker to walk and turning towards the market to replace Ellis. :20 – Carl and Mike get into some Hawks talk as they share some thoughts on the team being able to make a push into the top six positions in the Eastern Conference standings and agree they need more from Zaccharie Risacher. :40 – Carl and Mike get into What's On DA-DA's Mind as they discuss Hacksaw Jim Dungan posting his check stubs from his playing days with the Falcons, Phillip Rivers son Gunner committing to NC State and why the San Antonio Spurs may very well be NBA champions at the end of the season.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor revisit the Cavaliers' loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and ask a bigger question: did the trade deadline moves actually ease the pressure on Evan Mobley or intensify the evaluation? The roster upgrades were designed to stabilize Cleveland's perimeter defense and lighten Mobley's load. Instead, the Thunder exposed familiar cracks: defensive rebounding lapses, struggles containing physicality and breakdowns around the 3-point line against elite competition. Rebounding is the most concerning playoff flaw, and an off night from Mobley magnified the issue. With a pivotal six-game stretch ahead, the Cavs are entering a seeding-defining window that will test the new rotation against postseason-caliber opponents. If Cleveland wants to survive the Eastern Conference gauntlet, growth in those areas is non-negotiable — and Mobley's role in solving them may determine how far this team can go.

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle welcome in Rick Camp of the I'm Fat Podcast to talk all things NBA, including why he refuses to quit on the Timberwolves despite their inconsistencies, why the Bulls are in need of major changes in the front office, why the Eastern Conference is as wide open as he can remember, and more! Then, we react to the Tournament Selection Committee's way too early bracket that was revealed this past weekend, including one team with a major injury that was seeded too high, another who is currently one of the hottest teams in that country was seeded too low, and why a team that has completely floundered after their hot start had zero business being included in the selection as well! The hour wraps by welcoming in Producer Brandon Combs for a game of Hot or Cold, discussing if Duke is the best team in College Basketball following their statement win over Michigan on Saturday, will the Spurs win the NBA Title, and is Team USA Hockey's victory over Canada the best moment in Team USA international Sports history?

Ken and Anthony have been riding high on the Cleveland Cavaliers since the James Harden trade. Ken has penciled them in for the NBA finals, but Justin Termine, Host of NBA Today on SiriusXM, weighs the Cavs chances of going all the way.

After Ken penciled the Cavs in as the team coming out of the Eastern Conference and heading to the finals, but faltered against the top team in the West. Ken and Lima breakdown the severity of the loss and how the Cavs can rebound moving forward.

The Boston Celtics secured a convincing season sweep of their historic rivals with a 111-89 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Jaylen Brown led the charge with a stellar all-around performance, tallying 32 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the story of the night was Payton Pritchard, who caught fire from deep to score 30 points, including six 3-pointers. Pritchard's clutch step-back triple with just over three minutes remaining iced the game and sent the Los Angeles crowd to the exits early.This podcast is brought to you by me, Guy DePlacido.

Beyond the scoring outbursts from Brown and Pritchard—who combined for 38 points in the second half alone—the Celtics' defense was stifling, holding the Lakers to their second-lowest point total of the season. Boston now looks to carry this momentum into Tuesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns as they continue their West Coast road trip.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands is joined by Jackson Flickinger of Fear the Sword to discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' outlook for the rest of the season. From there, the conversation shifts to who this team is becoming. What is Cleveland's identity with James Harden in the mix? How does his presence reshape the two-big dynamic of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen? And when the playoffs slow down and possessions tighten, what version of the Cavs can actually travel in a seven-game series? Ethan and Jackson also zoom out to size up the Eastern Conference landscape, breaking down potential matchups, stylistic clashes and which opponents would force Cleveland out of its comfort zone. The debate eventually circles back to the biggest question of all: Who is the Cavs' true X-factor when the margins shrink and adjustments define the outcome? They close by redefining what success should look like this season. Is it about reaching a specific round, or is it about how the Cavs perform under pressure — their adaptability, poise and competitive edge when the lights are brightest?

Ken has already penciled the Cavs into the NBA finals but Lima isn't so sure, but he definitely wants to be along for the ride. The guys tackle the Eastern Conference and whether the Cavs can really finish the fight in the NBA playoffs.

Celtics beat reporter for CLNS and SB Nation Noa Dalzell joined Papa & Silver to detail how Kristaps Porzingis, in many ways, is a great fit for the Golden State Warriors. But while Porzingis is a supremely talented player, Dalzell acknowledged that his lack of availability has been a constant concern, even when he was a part of a championship-level Celtics squad in 2024. She also explains how Jaylen Brown and Joe Mazzulla have grown in their respective roles, as Boston currently sits at the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, despite the absence of Jayson Tatum, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon in last year's playoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
