Maybe the nuggets are capable of winning 2 games in a row. But the Clippers are very good

A quarter through the season, the Spurs and Pistons are playoff teams and the Rockets are a 2 seed. Even the Magic had one of the longest losing streaks and are a 3 seed. What is this season?

Announcing duo Ryan Ruocco and Sarah Kustok have horrific chemistry in this Magic-Nets game. Yikes.
