On this episode of the heat check, we have a special episode.

It's an interview with Spotrach's resident genius Keith Smith to answer a ton of questions

about the Eastern Conference teams that I have questions about

from the start of the Cavs, Jordi Fernandez, resurrecting the nets to whether the Warriors

can sustain their hot start. Keith will have you covered. Anthony, my man, drop that beat. Shabiriano.

First couple of weeks of the league, really.

Just kind of want to get your thoughts on.

They're just like some of the notable teams, essentially.

Sounds good.

All right, let's welcome to the show.

Keith Smith, Keith is friend of show.

Resident Numbers guy for Spotrack, co-hosts of the front office show podcast, like low-key comedy guy, like very funny dude,

has lots of good things to say on Twitter, used to be a writer at Bleacher Report, Yahoo, Real GM,

among others, as well as the current hurricane survivor key.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, it was a little bit of a rough one.

For us, we're usually enough inland that we don't get hit, but we're doing okay.

We made it through a lot better than a lot of folks.

So we're still, you know, thinking about all those folks all around the state that are still recovering here in Florida where I'm based out of.

But, you know, we did okay.

Good. Good to hear it.

Thanks for coming on, man.
