00:00Eastern Conference standings just a quick peek at them as we shared here's why the Knicks lost
00:05last night in the Motor City is so crucial one could it be a preview of the opening round of
00:11the playoffs with the Knicks having home for advantage against the Detroit Pistons the Knicks
00:16as an underdog last night in the Motor City despite having both Jalen Brunson and Carl
00:21Anthony Towns in the starting five not exactly the strongest look the Knicks a 6-11 team against
00:27the spread as an underdog this year Cleveland has clinched the number one spot Boston the number
00:32two seed by a good margin both the Knicks and the Pacers have clinched a top four seed but we still
00:39have to figure out who's going to be the three who is going to be the four with two games left in
00:44Indiana trailing New York by just a game the Bucs a big win last night hammering the Pelicans as expected
00:51by 25 easily covering as a 14 and a half point favorite two game advantage over Detroit that's
00:58a pretty comfortable cushion and the Pistons of course in the sixth spot they're in no danger of
01:03falling into the play in tournament those four teams the Magic the Hawks the Bulls and the Heat DRS
01:09are already in those play and tourney positions yes and also we should do like the western cut the
01:15west coast conference does and say you know what conference tournament time just put our best teams
01:19there by all the way through let these bum teams for all intents and purposes play each other let's
01:25just get to the Cavs and Celtics I don't know I was about you know I have a little like a beeper right
01:30here I was about to use at this point because I take a look at this and say it is a two-man race
01:34the western conference we could talk about that ad nauseum all day long because it is kind of
01:37interesting right through to the playing rounds but the east is so boring like if the Knicks had just
01:42won two games Ben against upper level competition you could sort of have the argument hey man the Knicks get hot
01:47they can do some damage but I look at like the Knicks Pacers Bucks Pistons Magic and Hawks let's just go
01:52top eight a complete waste of time to be in the NBA playoffs I just want the Cleveland Cavaliers and
01:57the Celtics to play hopefully they're healthy by the time they meet but like I say this with passion
02:02because I like the NBA playoffs it finally is a season that matters in a regular season that doesn't
02:06matter at all but when we talk about the east it is two really good teams and everybody else is
02:11mediocre at best at best Ben
