Alright, we are back 15 and 60 mailbag style this time to talk about the Eastern Conference.

Thanks everyone who submitted questions on Twitter.

Great to hear from all of you and we shall begin here with the 10 and 9 Atlanta Hawks by the way.

All of these stats are as of earlier on Sunday.

We're too many games today so hopefully that won't be too big of a deal.

They are 6 and 4 since the last time we checked in on them but 7th in the NBA net rating plus 4.0

and 9th on offense, somehow 8th on defense, projecting for 36 wins that would be 500

and that would also be tied for 6th in the Eastern Conference to get above that play and raise potentially

74% chance of making the playoffs per Raptor.

E-Low gives them only 52% chance of making the playoffs.

So there are a couple different questions here that I think are interesting and worth getting to.

Can start with this one from Hogan Brock. Thoughts on Quikapel's effect on Atlanta's defense

and Hunter's emergency secondary crater. I want to talk more on the Kephella part of this.

Maybe we can get to 100 but there's something else I want to hit too.

And so far the preliminary indications are very strong.

If you want to look at the real basics, cleaning the glasses garbage time filter,

the Hawks have a 103 defense of rating when he's on the floor.

There is a lot of opponent shooting luck as there is for the Hawks and basically all facets right now.

In those minutes but what is really encouraging to me is that the Hawks aren't fouling as much

in those minutes and they're doing a good job on the defensive glass.

Not a huge surprise that the Hawks are rebounding well when you think about that they're actually

playing bigger now. And so I think that while it will not stay this rosy, this is sort of parallel
