If you are interested, join us tomorrow at 7pm EST where i will be joined by fellow NBA Fansided Bloggers Sean O’Connor of Sixer Sense and Chase Ruttig of Raptors Rapture as we banter back and forth about the Atlantic Division and what you can expect to see in this lockout shortened season.

Included in this will be lots of Knicks talk, so if you are craving just that, follow this link. You can choose to observe from the outside, or click JOIN EVENT where you will be able to take part in the chatroom with other NBA fans and provide questions, either via video or text to either Sean, Chase, or myself.

If you can’t make it for 7 pm EST tomorrow, not to worry the podcast should be up on Buckers Over Broadway shortly after the conclusion of the event.

With the Cavs having lost the unstoppable Delonte West (plus I think some other guy?), how bad will they be? You might be surprised by our take. (Source: Yardbarker.com)

We already examined how much teams improved/regressed during the off-season, but now we’ll talk about how they stack up against each other.  Meaning, we gave Orlando a zero for their summer and the Wizards a +2, but now we’re here to tell you that yes, of course Orlando is still gonna be far better.  For those who haven’t seen those posts on off-season grades, click the following links to see what we had to say about the Northwest, Atlantic, Central, Southeast, Pacific and Southwest Divisions.  Also, we’re only gonna be talking about the regular season here.  So even though we don’t think the Celts will be a top two team record-wise, it doesn’t mean we think they’re incapable of making it through the gauntlet again.  Lastly, some teams will be put in clusters ‘cuz they’ll likely end up with similar records and what does a victory or two here and there matter?
