Thunder and Lakers on Fire plus teams we're keeping an eye on
0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces the panel and dedicates show #203 to Amare' Stoudemire, who was Rookie of the Year in 2003 for the Phoenix Suns.
1:04 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a historically torrid pace with 20 wins in their first 21 games. World B has some great numbers on their incredible defense. They will be without top rebounder Isaiah Hartenstein for a couple of weeks so Chet Holmgren will need to grab some more rebounds. The crew speculates on how long it will take for them to lose another game.
10:04 .... The Lakers are also very hot and have the third best record in the league. Luka Doncic is now the main man in LA with aging LeBron James as his wingman, but can LeBron accept a supporting role? And will his ego cause him to play more games than he should? He needs to be fresh for the playoffs, but if he decides he HAS to play 65 games for personal reasons that could be an issue.
16:27 ... Austin Reaves has been spectacular to start the season, but when LeBron was not playing, he needed to step up and he did. But with LeBron back on the floor, Reaves' numbers may suffer but not to the detriment of the team.
19:30 ... The guys each pick a western conference team they're keeping their eyes on. Bruce picks the Spurs, World B picks the Suns, and Ross chooses the Clippers.
26:44 ... We move to the eastern conference where the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled recently. As talented as they are, they really miss Jarrett Allen and if he is out for a long time, the Cavs have a big problem. Allen is not the only key player that is injured and it really has shown up in their shooting numbers.
32:57 ... The Orlando Magic have been without injured Paolo Banchero for three weeks but have continues to play well and win. Desmond Bane has really stepped up in Paolo's absence and scored 24 points a game during the month of November. And no team plays harder. They still have a chance to get to 50 wins, which they have not done since the 2010-'11 season.
37:42 ... The guys each pick a eastern conference team they're keeping their eyes on. Bruce picks the Celtics, World B picks the Hawks, and Ross chooses the Pacers
43:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye.
