On the 346th episode of the Underdog NBA Show, Tyler and Zandrick preview the Southeastern Division and pick the over/unders of each team. They start with the Orlando Magic and discuss why they feel 50 wins is a lot, but also think Paolo could take a leap, and how they are due for injury regression after last year's bad luck. Then Tyler rants about how well constructed the Hawks are and why he thinks their over-under is the bet of the year. They shift to the Heat, who are about as boring as they come, before discussing the bottom of the division and why the Hornets might be better than people think, and how the Wizards have two paths to take.

With Tyler Laurie on load management, Zandrick Ellison and special guest Blake J. Harris (CONSOLE WARS) discuss the rumors about the NBA expansion into Europe and debate the best approaches for the league's global takeover. Should the NBA expand here in the United States?

Along with it, they discuss the teams most vulnerable to a potential relocation, the cities that may be able to share teams, the potential new owners like LeBron James, and of course, the potential of a UFO confirmation happening in the next few years.
