This is an IHeart podcast.

On this episode of the E-check, it's Eastern Conference Contender Time, baby.

Why don't I go Eastern? Why do I squeak like that?

I'm here to give you my take on the four teams that I think are most likely to come out of the East.

We're talking Boston. We're talking Cleveland. We're talking Philadelphia.

And of course, Milwaukee! No, Lord, forgive me!

I'll even bring on Dan Favali to help me break down the east.

Fava beans?

No time for losers in this episode.

So let's get right into it, Anthony.

Drop that motherfucking beat that should be Rihanna.

Kianti? Kianti. We covered the West yesterday.

Came to the conclusion that the Nuggets are going to win the fucking whole thing.

So why am I doing this? Well, we got to figure

out who's coming out of the east, right? Got to ask the same question. And out west, we're

swapping out the Denver Nuggets for the Boston Celtics. Can anyone beat Boston? Boston is a wagon.

That wagon is driven, not by Drew Holiday, not by Chris Douse, poor Zingas,

not by Jalen, I only go right brown. This is Jason Tatum's rigged drive. And Jason Tatum has been

incredible. Jason, regular season Tatum, quietly, amazingly, and getting very little credit for it. Why? Because we don't trust that

man. He's too pretty. And his postseason runs, we're still holding stuff against him. How good, though,

has he been? 28, 9, and 6 with 2.1 stock, stock, stocks per game. Yes, he's playing defense on an astounding 50 35 and 86

get your fucking three point percentage up jason tatum those though are superstar numbers
