The Sixers are still trying to stay attached to the upper tier in the Eastern Conference and have missed Butler and Embiid of recent. They still seem to be in need of a roster adjustment to get there. What did we see this week? The Raptors are very good. Norman Powell is back and helping. But that may seem to be a small thing. Is it? Also, what’s going on with OG Anunoby? The Pacers had a depressing week and will seemingly lean on Tyreke Evans more the rest of the way. Is that going to work at all? Utah ended the week having won 12 of their last 14 games. Have they fixed everything?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Spurs have turned their season around. But it’s odd to see them lean primarily on their offense. Will that be the formula for the rest of the season and into the postseason? We discuss. The Grizzlies are way off track. What should they do with the rest of their season? We discuss. The Nuggets continue to sit near the top of the Western Conference standings. Do they really believe in themselves? Do we believe in them? What to make of the nearing return of Isaiah Thomas? Is that going to be good for them? The Pelicans can’t seem to keep a single reliable 5-man lineup available. Do we expected them to stick around the pack of teams elbowing each other for the 8th seed in the playoffs? Or do we expect more?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers are without Lebron, but that made it an even more interesting week to learn about the Lakers. What did we take away from watching them this week? The Bucks are goooooooooddddddd! Are they a contender? Even close? The Kings are so much fun to watch and are taking good step after good step. What is the ceiling for this season? The Pistons win and lose in bunches this season. Can they find something to unluck to deliver more consistency?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Hornets are hanging around in the Eastern Conference and they are getting solid contributions from the young Malik Monk and Miles Bridges. What are realistic expectations for them. What is the impact of constantly being small at both the 1 and the 5 positions? Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn are back and now the Bull significantly more fun to watch. The rebuild is not in its origin they have a number of young players to start building with. How is the coaching staff helping or hurting that? The Knicks need to get back to a cap baseline from which they can build. But it was interesting to watch Emmanuel Mudiay this week. What other Knicks observations did we take away from the week? Lastly, we put the Blazers on the agenda for the episode for the purpose of trying to diagnose what is going wrong. And, well, they only lost one game. What did we learn about Portland this week? Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Magic are sitting in the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference. What are they doing that’s working? Is is sustainable? The Heat are playing their best basketball of the season. What changed? Have they fixed what needing fixing? The Mavericks are winning more games than they are losing. How are they making that happen? Is it sustainable? The Suns are 1-9 in games Devin Booker has missed. They are 9.0 points better when he is on the court. They should be better than Atlanta, Chicago, etc. We think we are better than what their record suggests. Why? Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Celtics seem to have found their footing. The have gotten right on offense against a mostly easy stretch in their schedule. There are reasons to feel encouraged about their play. What are they? The Cavaliers picked up a few wins prior to watching them this week. They are still a mess on defense. What observations did we have about their improvement on offense? The Timberwolves are officially in the post-Butler era. What does the new rotation look like? Will they play with confidence in close games? The Thunder are as good as any team in the NBA on defense but they are dead last in three-point shooting. Is that going to be good enough?All of this and more.Follow us on twitter: @presspodcast @willis_glen @LawtonWillis Follow Dane: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.
