The Wacky East Playoff Landscape with Robby Kalland

Brad Rowland (@BTRowland) hosts Episode 1970 of the Locked on Hawks podcast, and he is joined by Robby Kalland (@RKalland) of CBS Sports. The discussion focuses on the Eastern Conference Playoffs, including how the first couple of rounds can inform the short-term future of the Atlanta Hawks, whether the Cleveland Cavaliers or Boston Celtics are in deep trouble with 2-0 deficits, what the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks are doing right, and much more.
