Season Preview Series: The Central Division

Jordan and Ben invite a guest to discuss each division in the conference. On for the Central Division is Sean Wheeler, better known as Hypnowheel on DBB.  The Central Division countdown starts with the Indiana Pacers (1:50). One of the three has the Pacers making the playoffs.  The fourth team in the Central is the Milwaukee Bucks (18:25); we all know they can’t shoot but maybe Point Giannis can save them (20:55)? If not, maybe it’s former Piston Greg Monroe (25:45), a player that could be moved if things don’t click this season.  The third place team in our preview is the Chicago Bulls (30:10). The transactions in the offseason left everyone scratching their heads. If it works and “all comes together,” it could be because of Jimmy Butler (34:50).  Then, at number two in the Central, it’s our Detroit Pistons (43:30). Sean quickly provides some Kool-aid (44:00), and Ben gives a more skeptical best case for the team (45:30). Jordan offers his best and worst, further diluting Sean’s Kool-aid (47:40).  The projected top team in the Central is the Cleveland Cavaliers (1:11:10). The favorite to win the East, Ben explains why there’s a budding rivalry with the Pistons (1:12:30).  The podcast finishes with Sean explaining the Cavs’ best strategy of resting their stars (1:22:15) and Ben’s trade scenaios (1:23:20).  The Detroit Bad Boys Podcast is a part of the SB Nation site, Detroit Bad Boys.
