#325: Watford Masterclass, Nico Harrison Disasterclass

This week on The Atlantic Files:

In Episode 325 of The Atlantic Files, host Alex Fischbein is back to break down another exciting week in the NBA! The guys dive deep into Week 3 of the Atlantic Division — covering all the biggest storylines from the Celtics, Knicks, 76ers, Nets, and Raptors.

They discuss Karl-Anthony Towns’ insane stat line combining rebounding dominance with elite free throw efficiency, and Trendon Watford’s first career triple-double that shocked the NBA world. Then, they shift gears to ask a big question — what exactly are the Brooklyn Nets doing with their rebuild? Finally, they talk about the reports that Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison’s job might be in serious jeopardy, with “when” being the real question, not “if.”

If you’re an NBA fan who loves analysis, hot takes, and breakdowns of the Atlantic Division and league-wide storylines, this episode has everything you need!

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.
