Andrew and Adam find some bright spots for each team early on in the season. Of course this was taped prior to the recent firings/high profile injuries...but those are negatives, so we're just going to overlook that for now. Enjoy!

It's only one month into the season, and we are already seeing pink slips being handed out, verbal shots being fired, and wild endings in the NBA regular season. But is it a lot of loud noises signifying nothing or will they have major ramifications in the league? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to round out the news surrounding souring superstars with low morale, the return of the random DNP's, and the firings of Willie Green in New Orleans and Nico Harrison in Dallas. Did they deserve to be let go, and was it possibly too little too late for both teams? Are the Kings on the cusp of a blow-up and our third coach firing of the season? Are some of the October front runners like the Bulls, Sixers, and Blazers falling back to their means or are they better than people think? Riche and Adam also talk about last Monday's wacky slate of games ending on buzzer beaters, Steph Curry torching the young Spurs in San Antonio, calf strains, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 366 with the NBA-Team!
