The NBA season is finally underway, and The Atlantic Files crew is back to break it all down! After the first full week of action, we’re delivering our Top 10 Power Rankings and diving deep into every Atlantic Division storyline that’s heating up early.

The New York Knicks have started strong at 2-1, and the vibes are sky-high in Madison Square Garden. Are the Philadelphia 76ers finally back to contender form, or are fans getting ahead of themselves? Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors are showing serious potential thanks to their promising young core — could this be the beginning of something big in the North?

On the flip side, the Brooklyn Nets are entering a tough rebuild that’s starting to look even uglier than expected, and we’re asking the hard questions about their direction. And in Boston, could this be a rare “gap year” for the Celtics, or are they simply pacing themselves for another deep playoff run?

We also react to the breaking news that’s shaking up the NBA world — a massive illegal gambling and poker scandal reportedly involving Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and Damon Jones. What does this mean for the league’s reputation, and how far could this investigation go?

Tune in for all that and more as we kick off another exciting NBA season with power rankings, hot takes, and in-depth analysis across the Atlantic Division and beyond!
