Hello again, Hardwood Knocksers! - Andy and Dan are rolling on with their midyear NBA report cards. The Western Conference has already been hammered out, and you can check that out here. That means it's time for the Eastern Conference, in all its glory—or lack thereof. - Have the Cleveland Cavaliers finally met their maker in the Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors? Will the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards stop underachieving? Were we too high on the Philadelphia 76ers? Is the Miami Heat's latest midseason surge for real? We go through all this, and more! - But wait: We have even more still. - In addition to doling out report card grades, we'll rap about the long-term futures and trade-deadline priorities of the Heat, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers. So let's hop to it! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.
