Description

The abbreviation is a nicer key to join on, when it's available. Alternatively, a team-key as appears in the XML (e.g., "indiana-pacers") would work; however, I don't think that appears in any of the JSON right now, whereas abbreviation does. Thanks, the service is awesome!

Updated standing object to include team_id.

Most of the JSON methods use the Team object which includes the team_id, abbreviation, etc.while the Standing object is flat. The Standing object should have included a team_id all along, didn't even realize. Thanks for reporting this.
