The Hoop Talk Podcast with Jalon Dixon and Ryan Leshko

We are kicking off Season 3 of the Hoop Talk Podcast with a BANG! As we look ahead to the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, there are still plenty of questions needing answers regarding all 30 teams in the league.

On this edition of the HTP, the fellas chop it up with long-time friend of the show and co-host of the Hear Me Out podcast, Brooks Warren, to breakdown the Eastern Conference. We delve into all 15 teams and ask the big nagging questions that could have significant influence on the balance of power in the East.

Can the Atlanta Hawks run it back? Will the Chicago Bulls really get their money's worth this season? How far can the Philadelphia 76ers go without Ben Simmons? We answer all these questions and more!
