Atlantic Division

I'm Rose Kyle Rochelle, joined again by my co-host Juan Te.

We're going to break down with arguably the best division to start with, because why not start off with a bang? Atlantic Division, you have the Knicks defending champions, which feels very weird to say, but it's not.

You also have the Celtics, you have the Sixers, the Raptors, four teams who are supposed to be fighting for top five seeds individually in the Eastern Conference.

And then you have my Nets.

Welcome back, everyone, to the NBA Game on Podcast.

Finished going through the win totals for the Atlantic Division.

Time to move on into the division outrights.

Sometimes it's just like.

i think the floor is a lot lower than what vegas is giving them credit for that could scare me and then kind of vice versa as well like i said i would like to do better than 15 and 15. i don't think you actually have to have 15 overs 15 unders as long as it equals out to uh how many what 82 times 30 you're looking at 2460 wins 2040 uh or 2460 losses so the knicks we'll start off at the atlantic division so if you want to jump to your team i'll leave timestamps down below uh for each division so Yeah, the Knicks won it all last year.

They won 53 games and they are projected to win 51 and a half games this upcoming year.

They lost Mitchell Robinson in the offseason, but they pretty much brought back their whole bench unit.

Today is Monday, September 30th, 2026.

We are days away from opening night, and the Philadelphia 76ers are sitting at 0-0 but already holding first place in the Atlantic Division.

But there is a massive story breaking out of training camp that changes everything about how we view this team's identity.

Right.

The Knicks just won the title.

They are the team LeBron didn't join.

What does that mean for the Atlantic Division race?

It means the Knicks have momentum, but the Sixers have star power that scales differently.

Let's kick it off with, you know, you and I had both kind of mentioned them a little bit in the last episode when we were talking about the Brooklyn Nets.

And again, if you guys haven't listened to our Atlantic Division preview, listen to that one right after this.

Get every single 30 team, get our thoughts on them in 10 minutes or more.

You know, we're going to be talking about them all over the next month.

We're going to see what happens with him.

Yeah.

So this is what I was getting at, though, in our time about the Nets, you know, in our Atlantic Division preview, too.

It's more complicated to talk about these type of teams now who, again, are going to for the first time this year with the league's new rules.
