NBA East And West Standings
Transcript
00:00 NBA All-Star break is on the horizon. Number one storyline was officiating.
00:05 What is your number two storyline for the Anthem's break?
00:08 Can all these feel-good stories hang on? Can Cinderella keep the shoe? Does she keep the shoe?
00:13 Is that what she does?
00:14 No, she loses the shoe and then the prince finds the shoe and he brings the shoe back.
00:18 That's a horrible one. Let's forget that. I don't understand that one.
00:21 Can they stay at the top of the standings? How about that?
00:23 Because all season we've been talking about the West. Minnesota, the Timberwolves, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
00:28 And they're still playing good basketball, but all of a sudden the big boys are like,
00:32 "Oh, it's almost All-Star break. Let's start playing."
00:35 The Warriors, you called it. I was about to give up on them. I don't give up on them.
00:39 So they won six in a row.
00:40 You can't give up on the Warriors like you can't give up on the Chiefs.
00:43 Right. Kind of the same one thing.
00:46 Mahomes and Curry are kind of like, "As long as I'm healthy."
00:49 "Oh, he's got the ball at the end of the game. Here we go."
00:51 The Suns are starting to figure it out. Of course, the Nuggets have been there.
00:55 The Mavericks all of a sudden have made a couple of trades for rebounders.
01:00 And Dirty Work, Big Man, they're playing better basketball.
01:03 LeBron and the Lakers are starting to get it together.
01:05 So it's like Oklahoma City and Minnesota are like, "We're having a great..."
01:09 Who's that? The Calvary's coming and they look mad.
01:13 It's going to be a great race in the West.
01:15 And in the East, Orlando Magic were a great story. Got off to a great start.
01:19 They've kind of come back down. They're playing 500-yard basketball for the last month.
01:25 Can they sneak into the playoffs? And the Knicks, are they elite?
01:30 We know they're really good. Totally.
01:32 But can they get up there with Boston and Milwaukee and Philadelphia when the push comes to shove?
01:36 It sure looks like the East. I think the East is those four. It's going to be amazing playoffs.
01:40 The NBA is better when the Knicks are good. It's just how it goes.
01:43 I agree. Hard to argue.
