The Charlotte Hornets have their work cut out for them this season. All but two teams in the Eastern Conference have their sights set on a playoff series and a home playoff series. We bring in Adi Joseph, Deputy Editor at Sporting News to tell us which teams are trending up and which teams are falling back. Will the moves made by the Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks pay off or will teams that tried to hold together their core like the Hornets fare better? Listen and find out.
