Who are YOUR top five most interesting teams in the Eastern Conference?

[RoiDuBlaze]

Nice to know Legs hasn't been excommunicated... yet

[GurtonBuster]

28:45 *Jrue Holiday and Derrick White has entered the chat*

[taylor]

Glad yall are back! I was going crazy consuming nba twitter to satisfy my hoop fix lol

[SynthTerror]

Post all-star break, my Magic were 15th in 3pt shooting. So they improved dramatically as the season went on. They should be better this season, health permitting. Jett is about to make a jump.

I actually think Dame will be good this year. I relate it to Kyrie in Dallas. That first half season after the trade did not go well for the team. But Kyrie learned that Luka is the top dog but that there will be times that he will need to be Kyrie and take over. He also realized that for his twam to be best he needed to yield slightly and focus more on team leadership in a different way.

Crazy how little your audience is. Top 3 nba pods to me (no order): all nba podcast, ringer nba show, windhorst and hoop collective. Keep grinding guys, I absolutely love your stuff!!!

[AndyMilonakis-jp]

TYLER THE KREATOR

He has just a nice, calm game. Like what ive seen from kolek so far! LGK

[jameswalkerjr.]

Shout-out to Kevin Pritchard for gathering talent for Pacers

[Earl_E_Burd]

Quality content. Looking forward to 24-25 with ALL NBA Pod

I'm not a fan of them, but I'm intrigued with Orlando. They are a big physical team that plays great defense. If they can get their offense going, they're a dark horse to make the conference finals.

[CH-lxpb]

The winner of the East is going to be the team that stays healthy.

[everminenow]

An hour podcast and they didnt mentioned or talked boston? Good thing is there is a timestamp

[markg]

28:50 Is there a better on the ball defensive
Legs’ partner says: “Nope!”
Has anyone heard of Holiday&White?
They kinda won gold in this last summer’s Olympics.

[ericbrownjr.]

Suggs/KCP better defensive backcourt then Jrue/White they must be drinking 🤣

[Ten_Tomasz]

With some key players going East doesn't the Western Conference seem weaker all of a sudden? And more balanced as well? Seems like there's several teams that can reach the finals.

[egletonwoodside]

Its not going to effect him he's from the area.

[kylebushnell]

Lillard, Giannis, Middy, GT jr, Bobby!, Lopez, T Prince, Wright, AJ Green… Bucks gonna bring their best season since ‘21… but of course Milwaukee is slept on and disrespected

[kissmills]

I just like McBride, he tough and can shoot. Shameet with cam, precious, and the rookies Tyler and our center. The team is just right for what Brunson does

[sweetpotato]

If the bucks are able to stay healthy and click together then it will be a dangerous team
