On this episode of Heat Check, Trysta officially enters NBA reality-check season... We’re far enough into the schedule to know who’s legit and who’s fooling everybody.

She breaks down whether the Sixers are slipping, why the Bulls are still mid, and how the Warriors crashed back to .500 after a hot start. Then it’s over to Atlanta, where Trae Young is hurt, Jalen Johnson is thriving, and the Hawks suddenly have the second-best defense in the NBA… without Trae. Should they actually consider trading him?

Trysta also dives into the Magic’s scoring problems, Tyus Jones’ shocking scoreless stretch, whether the Jazz and Lauri Markkanen are secretly good, and the play heard around the world: Wemby dunking on Draymond… followed by Wemby’s calf strain that could sideline him for weeks.

Plus: the Pelicans fire Willie Green, Zion is injured again, and New Orleans looks like a full organizational mess with the league’s worst record.
