0:00.0	I had time to check in on the old Eastern Conference. We have done a ton of prep for this episode.
0:05.7	I watched a lot of film of a lot of players that I was really interested in checking in on.
0:10.1	I haven't looked 15, 60s out the east in a while. So we got some really cool stuff coming up here.
0:15.2	I'm going to talk about Pascal Siacum and Jaden Ivy and Jalen Brunson.
0:21.2	But where I want to start here is the showdown between the two teams that even as of now are the top two teams in the east.
0:29.1	The Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. Let's start with the Celtics here, Danny. What are their fundamentals?
0:35.3	The Boston Celtics are now 32 and 12, 10 and four, some philosophy, 60. It's a little bit longer in time.
0:42.9	I think that's just because of the transition around New Year's.
0:45.9	Still first in the league in net rating. And I believe the only team knows.
0:51.4	Yeah, are they the only team in the NBA? Yes. That is top five in both offense and defense.
0:55.8	Their second and offense and fifth in defense. This is using the cleaning the glass version of those two stats and net rating.
1:01.9	Then per five, 30, its models, Raptor and Elo both project the Celtics to win 59 games, which would be first in the Eastern Conference and first in the entire NBA.
1:12.8	Yeah. And the Boston Celtics also with that 7.4 net rating per cleaning the glass.
1:19.0	They are second in the NBA. I'm sorry, first in the NBA, second is Memphis 0.6 points behind them.
1:26.4	And then you go down to Denver at plus 4.6. Well behind them as well, though Denver up to 30 and 13 right now.
1:34.6	They're in a nice stretch. Defensively defense has been a little bit better.
1:38.2	They're also at home with an easier part of their schedule.
1:42.0	This game I was obviously disappointed when KD went out. It was a further disappointment when Jaylen Bron went out.
1:49.1	He's going to miss looking like about two weeks here. Is that right? That was the last I saw. Yeah.
1:54.3	With a it's left a doctor tightness. Yes, of course. Just just tightness. Nothing to be worried about.
2:01.6	He's just going to miss two weeks. Certainly not a not a strain or tear. Just just tightness. Just tight.
2:07.3	So that led to a question. No, no Al Horthford in this game either.
