00:00I know that you did send me the standings right now, as always important this early,

00:10with the Cavs at 23-4 right now, ahead of Boston and the Knicks.

00:16Right now they have Hawks, Pacers, Bulls, and there's Detroit.

00:20They'd be in the playing tournament right now with how well they've played.

00:23It's finally starting to come together for the Pistons.

00:27It's nice to see.

00:28It is.

00:29Good luck.

00:30I mean, they've sucked.

00:31They've sucked forever.

00:33So it's nice.

00:34And they've had all these high picks for the last six, seven, eight, nine years.

00:38So it's nice to see them finally getting it all to win some basketball games.

00:42On the West side, I highlight the Warriors here because you did send me that note.

00:47After starting 12-3, the Warriors are now 2-8 in their last 10 and have dropped to 8th

00:54in the West.

00:55How about that?

00:56Oklahoma City, who's playing in the Cup Final tonight, is 20-5.

00:59And there's the Grizzlies.

01:00You're going to talk to Eric in a few minutes.

01:01The Grizzlies have now climbed to 2nd in the Western Conference at 18-9, and the Rockets

01:07are 3rd.

01:08You talk about new blood, like you said, with Detroit.

01:10How about in the West, new blood with Memphis and Houston at 2-3?

01:14And how about Houston beating the Dubs in the Cup in that wild game, that crazy one-point

01:21win by the Rockets in that late fall on the floor that upset Kerr so badly, and he flipped

01:27out on the refs.

01:28Then he went in the press conference, flipped out on him some more, and then a day or two

01:32later apologized for his behavior.

01:34We always hate guys that walk it back.

01:38But look where the Rockets are now, and look where the Dubs are now.

01:42And frankly, while I'm at it, look where the Lakers are.

01:45The Lakers are in the last playing spot.

01:48Remember when the season started and A.D. was leading the league in scoring and LeBron

01:52was going to play every day?

01:54How the mighty have fallen.

01:56And remember, wasn't J.J. Reddick the new genius, the boy genius of the NBA?

02:03How's that for a game-winner?

02:05Garton Ham was a better coach.
