Summary

We took questions from listeners on Twitter to frame our bi-weekly discussion about the East. Some (but not all) of the key queries: DET: Does this crazy losing streak change the plan? PHI: Is there an all-in trade for the dominant Sixers? BRK: Should the Nets be in buy or sell mode ahead of their 2025 plan? ORL: What are the chances the Magic win a playoff series? BOS: Is there concern about a Jrue Holiday decline? Is Jayson Tatum overrated? CHA: Should the Hornets look to move Terry Rozier, and who should be their 2-guard of the future? IND: Who should the Pacers target in a win-now move? MIL: Would trading Bobby Portis for wing depth be feasible or advisable? CHI: Is Coby White a future top-15 point guard?

Hi good Sunday afternoon everyone our first 15 and 60 mail bag edition of the season

0:07.9

We're gonna do the same gimmick that Demi came up with last week in the West for the East the teams that are most over or under performing their pre-season projected records via those over-enders.

0:23.0

So, unless there's anything else we have to discuss,

0:25.6

I will take a guess at the first team here, Danny.

0:28.4

Let's do it.

0:29.0

So, I think the first team that is most outperforming,

0:34.4

they're over under, or underperforming,

0:36.3

they're over under.

0:36.9

In the Western Conference is the Detroit Pistons.

0:41.4

You are correct, sir.

0:42.4

I'll do their stats. The pistons are a depressing 2 and 24 on the season. They have lost all 10 games since the last 1560 and that is only of course a small portion of their losing

0:53.8

streak their net rating is now negative 13.6 per cleaning glass that's per

0:59.2

hundred possessions that is not only last in the league that is truly I mean that's the worst that's the worst number that I can recall ever seeing at this point in the season since we've been doing this like worse than even those Sixers teams I want to say at like at this point in the season now

1:15.3

maybe it's possible I haven't I don't have that good of a knowledge of that and if you want to know

1:20.4

how do you get to be that bad well your last in offense and 27th in defense and we'll see where those move over time.

1:26.7

BPI projects the Pistons to win 15 games on the year which would make them appropriately the 15th seed and last seed in the

1:34.9

Eastern Conference and gives them a 0% chance of main playoffs that might be a little high but

1:39.9

I think it's pretty reasonable. Oh man and and yeah, it is not getting any better for them.

1:45.1

Of late they got completely destroyed by Milwaukee last night,

1:49.1

thinking he wasn't competitive, they were down 23 after the first quarter.

1:53.5
