Part 1 of our bi-weekly look at the East starts with a few of the teams du jour:

• Miami gets right at the expense of reeling Philadelphia. Are there any reasons for optimism in Philly right now with Joel Embiid?
• The Pistons finally get a blowout win at the expense of the Wizards, whose young players are struggling at the moment. 27:38
• Is this Cam Thomas’ breakout with the Nets? 46:53
• New York is struggling defensively because they aren’t getting enough from KAT and Bridges, but maybe the offense will be enough to make up for it. 55:17
• Milwaukee’s defense remains respectable with Brook Lopez, but the lack of a true backup center is causing issues. 1:02:31.
