Now that the month of August has rolled around, and the NBA doldrums with them, most of the league's business for the 2026 offseason has been done. And with that relative certainty that comes with each of the rosters for the Association's Eastern Conference, we can start to project how all 15 ball clubs will fare in the 2026-27 regular season, and the 2027 NBA Playoffs beyond it.
And to that end, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with Third Apron cohost and CBS Sports analyst Sam Quinn to suss out how the NBA's East may pan out when the dust has settled on whichever team ends up hanging a banner this summer.
We also touch on where Boston will fall in that milieu, as well as all of the Celtics news still finding its way into print at the slowest stretch of the NBA calendar. Check it out!
