Welcome to another episode of AwkwardlyCool! The NBA is about a quarter  of the way through the season and it's a good opportunity to take a pulse check on some decent teams this year.  The Suns deserve a bit of respect considering they've won 15 games in a row and happened to be in the NBA Finals last year.  This team lost some hype after many were excited about them in the off season but the recent play of the Hawks may just bring everyone back on the band wagon (8:03). Don't look now but the Brooklyn Nets are the No.1 seed in the East and it's worth digging deep to see how they've played and if they are still favorites out East (12:33). Get ready to dig deep and have fun doing it as we discuss all that and more. Hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to another episode of AwkwardlyCool! The NBA is exciting thus far this year with the fans back in the crowd and rule changes removing some of the less appealing parts of the NBA.  One exciting aspect of the league is that the Warriors currently have the best record in the NBA as everyone predicted of course.  The Washington Wizards have the number one seed in the East which was even more predictable (5:28).
