Notes
The Sunshine Network became Sun Sports during the 2004–05 NBA season. When Mike Fratello called games for the NBA on TNT, Ed Pinckney and Tony Fiorentino were used as a fill-ins. Tony Fiorentino replaced Mike Fratello during the 2004–05 NBA season after Fratello became the Memphis Grizzlies head coach.
