48 Minutes: The new "Beast of the East," Struggling Clippers, Blazing Suns, Misery in Detroit

0:00 ... Show open and introductions ... the Evan Scott episode (#78)

1:05 ... Bet Online Live commercial read

1:48 ... Bruce's opening comment on Draymond Green's latest selfish antics

4:23... World B's opening comment is on Mark Cuban, who is selling his stake in the Mavericks after owning the team since 2000.

6:10 ... Ross' opening comment is on the Houston Rockets, who are much improved but still winless on the road.

7:32 ... World B gets us going in the first quarter with a breakdown of the Orlando Magic, who are riding an 8 game win streak behind Paolo Banchero and a very deep bench.

9:43 ... Bruce points out that the Magic have owned the Celtics since last season winning four of their last five meetings.

11:20 ... Ross loves Cole Anthony coming off the Magic bench and describes him as a "Bucket." Ross also has praise for Jalen Suggs.

13:57 ... Mo Wagner has really found a great role coming off the bench for the Magic after bouncing around his first three years in the league.

15:06 ... The LA Clippers are imploding and suffered a terrible loss on Monday when they lost to Denver, which was without its top three players (Jokic, Gordon, and Murray).

16:28 ... Russell Westbrook has been negatively affected by James Harden's return. He's coming off the bench and averaging under 10 points a game.

18:53 ... Ross is stunned by how poor the ball movement is for the Clippers and feels they need a better offensive system.

20:00 ... World B explains how no team in the NBA runs as many iso plays as LA and they also make fewer passes per game than any other team.

21:37 ... Bruce says LA lacks chemistry, is an old team, and does nothing particularly well. Bruce also believes Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was behind the Harden deal and forced GM Lawrence Frank to make the trade for marketing reasons.

22:50 .... The Phoenix Suns are on fire behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. World B feels Booker is going to be in the MVP discussion and is a true difference maker.

25:07 ... While Book struggled on Wednesday in their loss to Orlando, "Kevin and Devin" are combining for 60 points a game and Booker's return to the lineup has made KD's life easier. Bruce also has love for Grayson Allen, who has filled while Bradley Beal has been injured. Ross agrees 100% on Allen.

28:17 ... Eric Gordon has also been huge in his 16th NBA season for Phoenix averaging nearly 15 a game while shooting over 40% from downtown.

30:35 ... In our "Three Man Weave," we size up the Minnesota Timberwolves after their big win over OKC on Monday. Rudy Gobert had a big game and the Wolves really dug in on defense in the second half. Minnesota overcame the loss of Anthony Edwards, who missed the whole 4th quarter and had two great performances off the bench from Naz Reid and Troy Brown Jr.

35:06 ... Ross wants to see more from Jalen Williams, who was a solid rookie last season but who has struggled early in the season for the Thunder. World B wonders if the arrival of Chet Holmgren has negatively affected Williams' development.

37:55 .... In the second topic of the Three Man Weave, the Pistons are a total mess. Coach Monty Williams' job is not in jeopardy but he might need to shake up his lineup to motivate some of the players who are lacking the ability to battle out there. The Pistons can't shoot and that's a problem.

43:00 ... The final element in the Three Man Weave concerns the Spurs and Victor Wembanyama. He's great, but his team stinks. Bruce compares Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots. When Belichick lost Tom Brady he wasn't such a great coach anymore and when Pop lost Tim Duncan he had the same issue.

46:06 .... Ross shares his "best bets" as he sizes up the four quarterfinal games in the "In Season Tournament" which take place next Monday and Tuesday. He likes the Celtics over the Pacers and the Knicks over the Bucks in the east. Ross likes the Kings over the Pelicans and the Suns over the Lakers out west.

48:35 ... Final Thoughts ... Bruce feels Gregg Popovich was out of line for telling the Spurs fans not to boo Kawhi Leonard last week.

50:31 .... World B has praise for Russell Westbrook, who has turned his image around as a member of the Clippers after a bad experience with the Lakers.

51:31 ... Ross comments on the Chris Paul beef with referee Scott Foster. If Foster said something about one of his kids, as CP3 alleges Ross feels the league needs to step in and change something involving the two men.

53:33 .... Ross says goodbye ...

Weekend Preview from 48 Minutes: Lakers/Celtics, Warriors/Cavs, and Magic/Knicks

Weekend Preview from 48 Minutes: Lakers/Celtics, Warriors/Cavs, and Magic/Knicks

0:00 .... Show open .... Ross introduces the panel and jumps into the weekend preview. 0:47 ... Friday night it's the Lakers visiting the Celtics in Boston.  It's the second half of a "back to back" for the Lakers who play in Toronto on Thursday so fatigue may be a factor for LA. 4:52 ... On Saturday, the Warriors visit the Cavaliers and it features the NBA's two most prolific three point shooters in Steph Curry and Donovan Mitchell.   Both teams could really use a win. 8:19 ... Sunday features the third and final regular season matchup between the Magic and the Knicks.  Orlando took the first two, so the Knicks need to show they can beat this team or else it may haunt them the rest of the season. 12:12 ...

Thunder and Lakers on Fire plus teams we're keeping an eye on

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.
