The local experts from the Locked On NBA Channel kick off the Locked On NBA Squad Show East by breaking down which team the Eastern Conference runs through after major injuries to the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. Join Nick Angstadt, Tony East (Locked On Pacers), Gavin Schall (Locked On Knicks), Philip Rossman-Reich (Locked On Magic), David Ramil (Locked On Heat), and a cameo from Matt Moore (Locked On NBA) as they debate if the New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers are the true favorites, analyzing their playoff track records, roster upgrades, and coaching changes. The conversation explores how Orlando Magic, with Desmond Bane, fits into the East's hierarchy, and whether the Atlanta Hawks’ revamped roster can climb into the contender tier. They also discuss Milwaukee’s current scenario with Giannis Antetokounmpo and if a mid-season trade is possible, consider the competitive outlook of other squads like Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers, and share insights on projected playoff matchups and depth across the conference. Throughout the episode, the hosts offer spirited analysis and big takes about the evolving landscape of the NBA’s Eastern Conference.0:00 East Preview: Knicks vs. Cavs Favorites9:16 Cleveland Roster Optimizations12:04 Giannis' Future and Milwaukee's Playoff Scenarios16:43 Knicks Trade Assets and Giannis Value19:31 Orlando Magic: True #3 in East?22:09 Sixers & Embiid Health Doubts25:26 Atlanta Hawks' Offseason Moves33:45 Detroit Pistons: Underrated Threat36:15 Heat’s Best-Case Scenario42:06 Toronto Raptors’ Depth and Playoff Potential46:04 Charlotte Hornets: Lamelo’s Development48:32 Wizards’ Youth Movement and Veteran Influence49:55 Brooklyn Nets: Worst Team in East? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
