Episode 449: Chaos Season Never Ends Matt Crone
This week on The Atlantic Files:
The Atlantic Files is back with another jam-packed episode diving into early-season chaos across the NBA! We’re breaking down our Top 10 NBA Power Rankings after Week 1 and taking a close look at every team in the Atlantic Division — from the New York Knicks’ 2-1 start to the Boston Celtics’ shocking 0-3 record. Are the Celtics just having a “gap year,” or is something deeper going on in Boston?
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are 2-0 and look like they might finally be “back for real.” Is this the version of Philly fans have been waiting for? Over in Brooklyn, the Nets are 0-3 and the rebuild is officially in motion, while the Toronto Raptors at 1-2 are looking sneaky good early in the season. We cover every team’s outlook, rotations, and early trends heading into Week 2 of the 2025-26 NBA season.
But it’s not just basketball on this episode — we also dive into a wild off-court story shaking the NBA world. Former players and coaches Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were reportedly involved in illegal gambling and poker ring arrests, with even rumors of Mafia connections surfacing. How deep does this story go, and what could it mean for the league?
Join us as we react to all the biggest storylines from Week 1, hand out some early-season praise (and criticism), and give our unfiltered takes on which teams are trending up or down. Whether you’re a Knicks, Celtics, Sixers, Nets, or Raptors fan, we’ve got you covered!

Being from the suburbs of Philadelphia, it was hard not to become a Sixers fan during Allen Iverson's prime. Other than just the Sixers, I enjoy watching all forms and levels of basketball, especially the WNBA. Outside of basketball, I've been playing and coaching volleyball for most of my life. Also, after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, I became a Software Developer by day, while writing and hosting podcasts by night.
