The NBA season is right around the corner! For the start of the new season, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker are bringing you a full preview of the Eastern Conference.    Jordan and Ben invite a guest to discuss each division in the conference. On for the Atlantic Division is Lazarus “Lazchance” Jackson, frequent contributor on DBB. Each team is discussed in detail: Best and worst case scenarios, most important and most intriguing player, firing up the Trade Machine, “Rank the Coach,” and each franchise’s top storyline. Finally, playoff odds and win totals.    The preview starts with the worst team in the Atlantic, the Philadelphia 76ers (3:50). In fourth place is the Brooklyn Nets (20:20), a team that has nothing to gain (or lose) by losing. Third in the Atlantic is the New York Knicks (32:50). Following the Knicks, it’s a fight for the Atlantic Division crown. Starting with the Celtics (49:10), Ben and Laz agree that Boston is just a step behind the Raptors. After offering up the Celtics, the episode closes with the favorite to win the Atlantic, the Toronto Raptors (1:03:10).    The Detroit Bad Boys Podcast is a part of the SB Nation site, Detroit Bad Boys.
