The Most Intriguing Teams In the Eastern Conference

[@ALLCITY_NBA]

Who are YOUR top five most interesting teams in the Eastern Conference?

[@VoteTyler4Mayor]

After watching some pre season the Hornets are an 8th seed. I like the Cavs but Allen and Mobley ain’t cutting it. Bulls are interesting because I see a trade from them. Magic might be a 3 seed. Bucks are gonna flop hard

[@TheSamps0n]

I can’t believe these guys just instantly forgot about those two. SAD!!! Jrue and D White are hands down the best

[@aaronhall1424]

I actually think Dame will be good this year. I relate it to Kyrie in Dallas. That first half season after the trade did not go well for the team. But Kyrie learned that Luka is the top dog but that there will be times that he will need to be Kyrie and take over. He also realized that for his twam to be best he needed to yield slightly and focus more on team leadership in a different way.

[@ALLCITY_NBA]

Solid point, and great example of the same thing happening in Dallas with Kyrie. Dame has talked a lot about how hard that transition was for him, it seems really likely they'll be better this year as a result of the continuity.

[@terrence8483]

Kyrie was not bad in Dallas his first 2 months there when he got traded. Check his stats in Dallas when got traded there. the difference is Kyrie is way more efficient than dame. You just noticed how inefficient dame is now because he's not in Portland. Dallas team also had terrible players around Luka and Kyrie. The bucks team was not terrible around dame and Giannas. You just added your own fantasy onto Kyrie's situation in Dallas. He took the same amount of shots when he got traded there to now.

[@aaronhall1424]

@@terrence8483 I didn’t say that Kyrie wasn’t good. I love having Kyrie on the Mavs. He is more than any Mavs fan could have asked for. My point was that Kyrie had to have some time to learn to play WITH Luka. Yes. The team was not good around the two of them but also he had to learn just what Luka’s magic could do for his game as well. And frankly. Like I said before. It took that 20 some odd games for them to learn to play together. Dame is less efficient but my point was maybe he will learn to Taylor his game to match Giannas’ better just like Luka and Kyrie did for each other.

Post all-star break, my Magic were 15th in 3pt shooting. So they improved dramatically as the season went on. They should be better this season, health permitting. Jett is about to make a jump. .

[@ShoLowMan]

All of a sudden Jrue Holiday and DWhite don’t exist but Suggs and KCP are better? Aight lol

[@EMTE-l9p]

With some key players going East doesn't the Western Conference seem weaker all of a sudden? And more balanced as well? Seems like there's several teams that can reach the finals.

[@smgyro1476]

I hope everyone keeps doubting and disrespecting the Bucks. They're gonna make everyone look extremely stupid this year when they're kicking everyone's butt in the NBA. Gary Trent Jr, Delon, Prince, and multiple of the young guys are capable of guardung the best guys in pick and roll. We were fine last year with our starters with worse players. The bench was the main problem. This year we'll be better. Doubt us and pay the price

[@everminenow]

An hour podcast and they didnt mentioned or talked boston? Good thing is there is a timestamp

[@markg911]

28:50 Is there a better on the ball defensive backcourt??????? Legs’ partner says: “Nope!” Has anyone heard of Holiday&White? They kinda won gold in this last summer’s Olympics.

[@Earl_E_Burd]

You mean Adam? It's the fourth word in the description. They said his name ten times during the pod. Probably hard to pay attention when consumed by being offended

[@ericbrownjr.5425]

Suggs/KCP better defensive backcourt then Jrue/White they must be drinking 🤣

I just like McBride , he tough and can shoot. Shameet with cam, precious, and the rookies Tyler and our center. The team is just right for what Brunson does

[@manz7860]

Can't wait to see OKC choke in the 2nd round again

[@ohhmyjesus]

If their big 3 don’t take another leap then it’s possible. The west is too good to guarantee anyone going to the finals. It’s so matchup dependant but it’ll make fun hoops!

[@xxxbimmer]

stop the hate

[@rayndeigh]

I'm not sure it's choking when it's their first year being good. If they do it again, that's different. But chet was a rookie and jdub was a 2nd year player

[@Alx1116]

@@rayndeighit’s choking whether you’re a vet or not when you’re the 1st seed in the west. That’s why they got hartenstein or else they would’ve ran it back

[@jgates9786]

Choking is when you were the heavy favorites to win and don't capitalize. I realize they were the number one seed, but they ran into a buzzsaw of a Mavericks team playing as good as anyone in the league down the stretch of the regular season/playoffs. Not to mention OKC tested the Mavs more than anyone in the west

[@CH-lx5pb]

The winner of the East is going to be the team that stays healthy.

[@Clyde92]

I think Jalen Brunson is the leader who can help KAT shoulder the pressure. He has the broadest shoulders in the league.

[@ortforshort7652]

I think Towns will be more than fine in New York. If Towns has a bad game, he's got Brunson and Bridges who can more than pick up the slack for him. All Towns had in Minnesota was Edwards who didn't have the ball in his hands. And Towns had the pressure of always been The Man in Minnesota since he got there. Now Towns is just another guy in an extremely talented lineup. If Towns has an off game, the others are expected to pick up for him. And Brunson is The Man in New York. Also, the situation on the court is so much better for Towns with the Knicks. He has another huge element in his game to be successful, the pick and roll with Brunson. Towns doesn't have to be having a great shooting night and still have that all work. More options in New York. If Towns gets double teamed down low, he has multiple guys he is expected to kick it out to - and let them finish they play. And if he doesn't get double teamed because there is too much firepower, Towns is deadly down low when not double teamed. I would be shocked if Towns doesn't come out and have the best year in his career, by far. It's all set up for him in the perfect situation for him.

[@chimaebinama3192]

Legs is trippin. They have less depth than last season and offensively they don't have more depth than the Sixers. They are definitely good but chill. Embiid, Maxey and PG is a better big 3 than the Knicks big 3. After that The next two guys aren't significantly if at all better than what the sixers can offer. Even the Bucks starting 5 can compare to the Knicks. It's gonna be a fun and competitive season.

[@joshuaboraz7984]

Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Magic, Sixers….to pick the Sixers is to ignore injuries that Embiid and George have had each of the past 3 years. To pick the Magic is to ignore the brick fest that they shot vs Cleveland but to not pick them is to discount the KCP effect. To pick the Pacers, you have to ignore the sweep in last years ECF (even if you think they’re better, they’re 4 games better? Come on) but to not pick them is to ignore the fiery offense. The Knicks starting 5 is awesome and they are a true threat to the Celtics but the loss of DiVecenzo forces KAT to be the secondary creator in crunch time. KAT has not proven to be a clutch performer. But to pick them instead of the Celtics is to ignore that the Celtics haven’t lost 3 games straight in over a year and a half

[@dearmas9068]

Lol... casual... The Cavs are better than anyone besides the Celtics.

[@jonnytheboy-h4m]

If Jalen went down with a significant injury, the Knicks would not be in trouble. Kolic would slip right in there and do great

[@dearmas9068]

Knicks are in trouble regardless

[@ortforshort7652]

Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum are NOT superstars. Brown was justifiably left off the Olympic Team and Tatum was justifiably passed over for playing time by better players. For years, Brown was not a game changer in the post season and for years Tatum would come up small in big situations in the playoffs mainly because he wasn't good enough to come up big in those situations. Last year's playoffs were an outlier. Their four biggest contenders - Miami, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and the Knicks in the east were all decimated by injuries in the post season. And, the top teams in the west Denver, Minnesota, and Oklahoma City didn't make it to the finals. Boston had a cakewalk into the title not facing any of the top seven teams in the league and playing a depleted Miami without Butler and then Cleveland, Indiana and Dallas - all teams who were, at best, second round, talentwise. Tatum had no opportunity to choke in a big situation because there were no big situations. And Brown's severe limitations did not get exposed by a top team because they didn't play any. Boston, to me, is, at best, the fourth best team in the East. And, unlike what the pundits think, the Celtics have no superstars on their team while the three other top teams in the East all have at least two.

[@dearmas9068]

The Knicks are so overhyped JUST because they have a massive fanbase. They literally got worse this offseason...

[@Phizzo4real]

Suddenly, KAT is now "the most skilled big in the NBA, the greatest shooter ever (he was laughed at when he said that)... " I can't wait for the same idiots who were mocking him and say how he is the second coming when the Knicks go to the Conference Finals and beyond.

[@mikelindner7940]

Saying the Knicks have more offensive depth than the sixers is absurd. Brunson won't even be better than 23 year old Maxey this year.

[@lateefsupreme]

Wrong… sixers need to worry about the knicks fans taking over there arena

[@ItzzShazey]

@@lateefsupremewhat does that have to do with brunson arguably being barely better than maxey as much as knicks fans hate to admit it and he’s the lead scorer for the Knicks. Plus they filled the stands because it’s cheaper to them than it is in Philly and I don’t even live in Philly to know that.

[@Ade683]

You said there was an issue with DEPTH and compared 2 starters??? JB is a MVP candidate Maxey is not.

[@grantdillwork7910]

He can't be that much better when Joel Embiid got hurt for the sixers they were straight trash 👊🏾
