Everyone’s counting out the East, but what if we’ve been asking the wrong questions all along? In this roundtable episode of The Hood Report, Rod, Martin, Q, Tweety, and special guest Mark West unpack the real shifts happening beneath the surface — where hype, history, and headlines no longer tell the full story. This isn’t just about rankings. It’s about calling out what’s missing: heart, leadership, and true team identity.

From surprising picks like Orlando and Detroit making serious playoff noise to sharp critiques of Cleveland’s collapse and Miami’s myth, this episode challenges everything you thought you knew about Eastern Conference basketball. If you’re tired of recycled takes and want to see the East through a sharper lens — this is the one that’ll change how you watch the game.
