All right, welcome on to a Eastern Conference Mailbag edition of the 15 and 60, part one here.

And I wanted to start with the New York Knickerbarkers because we had so many questions about this team.

You want to start with their stats, Mr. Louroroo?

Yeah, I can do that. The Nix are 40 and 27, 4 and 2 since the last 1560,

including their win over the Sacramento Kings I watched a fair portion of on

Saturday night. They are plus 4.5 in net rating that is seventh in the league, 12th in

offense, 8th in defense, and BPI, ESPN's model, projects them to finish with 48 wins, which

would be the 4 seed in the East and gives them a 100% chance of making the playoffs.

All right, let's start with this from Gerber.

Assuming Randall is back, do you think the Pistons guys, which is Burks and Boyam, even

play in the playoffs seems like no shot for Burks even if Randall is out?

I think there can be a place for them.

I mean, those guys actually played a role in the win over the Kings on Saturday.

The offenses got kind of weirdly bogged down at different moments.

But Gerber is right that the Nix have a pretty

stuffed rotation. They can't really slide guys. They don't need to slide guys up and down too much, but I think there's

a place for adding some shooting for adding some

supplemental playmaking in those minutes even if I would not expect either of those

gentlemen to start or close. Yeah the stats have been rather grisly for the 34-year-old Buxonovich and the 32-year-old books,

Buxonovich, 52.7% true shooting, 8.4 PR.

The hope was that he was going to provide some more offense when Randall was out and

maybe you know could even be closing games in theory and he's taking plenty of threes, he's
