Kevin O’Connor and Tom Haberstroh discuss who’s on the NBA’s “naughty” and “nice” lists. The pair breaks down how the Celtics’ rookies can thrive without Jayson Tatum, how the Detroit Pistons can improve their ceiling, and how the Warriors can maximize their chances with Stephen Curry. Also, should Anthony Edwards be the new face of the next generation league? Is Maxime Leno the top pick in the draft? Are the Pacers heavy? ?

Ahead, they discuss why the New York Knicks chose not to raise the NBA Cup flag putting them on the naughty list, Evan Mobley took a step back this season, and why the relationship between referees and players has soured. Did Giannis really want to leave the Bucks later? Is it time for the Lakers to trade Austin Reeves?
