ESPN deserving of Stiff List again

Reader Artimus Mangilord sent me an email last night of the Suns vs. Magic preview story on ESPN from the game last night (Magic won 122-100). He pointed out the following excerpt:

After finishing ninth in the Western Conference last season and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2004, Phoenix is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the league in 2009-10. The others -- Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers -- are the last two NBA champions.

Notice anything wrong there?

I'll point it out again ...

Phoenix is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the league in 2009-10. The others -- Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers

Last I checked the Lakers lost on October 30th to the Dallas Mavericks 94-80 and currently have record of 4-1.

Since Phoenix lost last night there are now only two undefeated teams in the NBA ... the Boston Celtics and YOUR Denver Nuggets.

I guess even with editors things like FACTS can fall through the cracks ...
