The NBA Eastern Conference is Actually STACKED
With one week to go in the regular season, there is still A LOT to play for in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Positioning in the lower tier of the conference is TIGHT, and there are multiple teams in the lower half of the bracket that can make things VERY interesting this postseason…

Letās go!!!! āļø
I'm sure there's talent in this league but I'm not watching until they fire Silver and enforce the rules. Bring back the defense
Hawks imo could make ecf
Letās go Hawks!!! š¦ š¦ š¦
I have no clue how any player oet alone all the starters tank to get a weaker opponent. Im not saying the timerwolves arent. My competitiveness wont allow me to. I couldnt even say it out loud or even have a conversation with a teammate about tanking. I dont want a teammate that thinks about tanking either. Thats just me
If you put the nuggets vs top 4 of the east, the east would lose all of them. Do that for the healthy lakers, do that for the spurs, and then okc.
The Hornets is not as shocking as the recent turnaround by Detroit…worst team in NBA history to the 1 seed. The Hornets had a lot of injury issues and always had a ton of talent. Not that they were a top team, but not as low as they should have been. Lamelo and Bridges are killers.
Stacked of B squads
I like when he says "ahhhssss" ššš
I wouldn't mind seeing the Hawks vs the Hornets in the ECF that would be very entertaining
stacked with losers. hehe
Every season, all season, all you hear about is how stacked the west is and how weak the east is. But by the end of the season you see that all those great western conference teams are actually trash and thereās just as many competitive teams in the east.
Boston is a 60 win Plus team the only reason they won't have this record is because tatum missed 65 games
The knicks will not fend off the Cavās. Have you looked at the schedules? The Cavās will probably finish a couple games ahead of the knicks. š
You have to be stopped just hating
Awww, thanks Skap!
Prognostically comprehensive preview of Eastern Conference, you've made a subscriber out of me!
No itās notā¦ the 1st round of the Leastern conference playoffs is heinous @ss every single year. When will the NBA media lear no one fallin for that propaganda.
Its "murderers row", not "murderous row".
Thus league is hot garbage. You hate LeBron but glaze the rest of this shit like its good.
ITS SHIT
the Knicks are trash, and have always been trash
Great recap, as usual. It is truly amazing what The Hornets have done and it would be amazing to see them or the Knicks in the Finals. The underdog story is so much better than seeing OKC take it again, although they would be deserving champions.
ššš Atlanta doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of making it out of the second round.
The hornets ceiling is the conference finals.
The only true dark horse is the sixers, with it all really depending on embiids health/ability to play at a high level throughout the playoffs.
I just did some digging…the Hornets will likely not get he 6th seed. They would have to win their last 3 games which are very tough and ALSO the Raptors and the 76ers have the tie break on them, so they would both have to lose 2 of their last 4 games. All of this would have to happen for the Hornets to get the 6th seed. I am rooting for them though as they are so fun to watch! …but the 1 and 2 seed will be VERY difficult to pass for them.
Stacked with trash… laLickda BallS is a diva and a bricklayer Simulator
If the East is āstackedā while the West is also stacked, just admit that LeBronās competition is greater than Jordanās, Kobeās, etcā¦. āļø
As a Georgia boy I'm glad the Hawks are doing so well.
Great video as usual, Skap! Whatās the Card you have on the shelf in the back next to the purple basketball?
as usual east is the jv league
charles lee (hornets head coach) was an assistant coach for joe mazulla back when they won a championship in '24. i think the dude followed the celtics blueprint that's why they're exceeding expectations this early in his tenure with the team.
Normally the 4-5 matchup is out of the way on the national schedule. But if it's the Lakers, we'll all be stuck with it, prime time every game
Always happy to see Brother Skap show my Hornets some respect. The three headed snake of Ball, Miller, and King Kon really make this old head happy.
Iām also happy to see JK thriving in Atlanta.
I hope the east would bounce back in terms of superstars production so East vs West would return in the All Star games in the future.
I'm not sure the east has an actual good team
Great video
Skap, Anyway anyhow do i "Talk Basketball" w you?
Hornets haven't made it past the 2nd round in their 35 year franchise history. Honestly with how well they've played as of late, this could be the year they do it.
Skap you got me all excited that you finally did a video on the Eastern Conference. Here I am, scrolling through the comments (while letting the video play) to enjoy solidarity with others interested in the EC. Then I scroll back up to the video thinking I'll see some footage of games with the Pistons, Hornets, Hawks, etc. But what do I see at the 3:48 mark? Of course, none other than the fraud king himself. Thanks a lot, Skap.š¤£
So itās no longer the LEastern conference
Joker just absolutely crushed tonight! I canāt wait for your video!
Squeezing in coach Darko's "It's a complete crap" on his own team… diabolical Skap š¤£
