Summary

Part 2 of our bi-weekly look at each conference. This week, the East: ATL and BRK played a ridiculous game, as all Hawks home games seem to be. IND: Is Tyrese Haliburton already one of the four best-shooting point guards ever? CHI: Their Big 3 has been awful together. Is it time to reduce the role of Nikola Vucevic? CHA and WAS: LaMelo Ball is hurt, Miles Bridges looks back, Kyle Kuzma’s curious end-of-game decision-making, and Jordan Poole’s ghastly numbers. TOR: Dennis Schröder has given the Raptors quality point guard play. NYK: What did we think of the Knicks’ strategy at the end of their loss to the Suns? DET: Marvin Bagley has been a rare bright spot. CLE: It feels like their season hasn’t started yet. PHI: The Sixers need to find some offensive production outside the Big 3

0:00.0	Good afternoon. Let's finish up talking about the Eastern Conference.
0:04.1	Got a lot of teams to get to here and so we shall begin at the top of the

0:27.6	maybe it didn't expect to be that extreme, but whatever.
0:29.9	Project you to win 46 games per ESPN's BPI.
0:33.3	That is fifth in the Eastern Conference,
0:35.3	76% chance of making the playoffs.
0:37.3	And unfortunately, some injury news
0:39.6	for the Atlanta Hawks, Jaylin Johnson
0:41.8	has a fractured wrist.
0:43.0	He's going to be out four to six weeks.
0:44.7	Thankfully, it will not require surgery.
0:46.8	And he has been the real breakout.
0:48.5	I mean, we've done discussions about whether,
0:50.6	like that he has been their best forward so far he's surpassed the
0:54.4	Andre Hunter or surpassed the Deak Bay and so now they will they have other players to
0:58.3	lean on but they're gonna have to lean on those players.
1:00.1	Yeah and Johnson to me gives them at least like some playmaking defensively as well. They're going to miss that a lot. They're really going to miss his 22% defensive repons.
