On this episode of No Cap Room, Jake Fischer and Dan Devine talk about whatever they want to talk about! They start off by discussing Jake’s Orlando Magic, who have won 8 games in a row but still have not convinced Dan that their offense is for real.
Jake has been holding back from talking about Jalen Johnson on the show, but now Johnson is going to miss 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist, which is disappointing timing for him and the Atlanta Hawks.
The NBA In-Season Tournament has reached the knockout rounds, and the guys took a look at the betting odds. They found that Vegas doesn’t believe in the New York Knicks but seems to like the Sacramento Kings, which confuses them. It serves as a reminder to Jake that he misses Sacramento and the beam.
The Charlotte Hornets’ season is falling apart quickly, and the front office and coaching staff could be ready to start selling pieces as the trade market materializes.
The New Orleans Pelicans are finally getting their starting lineup healthy and look like the team that took the West by storm in the first half of last season. Dan explains what’s happening and what we could expect to see from Zion Williamson now that C.J. McCollum has returned from a collapsed lung.
The Detroit Pistons have lost 15 games in a row, and both guys are wondering what the team is going to do with Cade Cunningham after this season if he isn’t able to make the players around him better.
The Houston Rockets have been winning games and seeing big strides from young guard Jalen Green. Dan likes what he’s seeing from Green lately and sees a potentially bright future for the Rockets with him and Sengun.
Finally, Jake has a Hot Jake about the NBA in-Season Tournament that leads to a deeper discussion about if what players want and what fans want aligns or needs to align for the project to be an overwhelming success.
