Kevin O’Connor is joined by Jason Timpf to discuss seven big highlights from last weekend’s NBA action ahead of the NBA Cup preview. The duo kicks things off with a red-hot Miami Heat and Tyler Herr’s breakout play. With Herro out, the guys discuss how Miami could have actually benefited from not trading for Damian Lillard. From there, they dive into the Philadelphia 76ers as Joel Embiid looks dominant and Jason wonders if Philly has finally turned the corner — assuming they can stay healthy.
They also discuss Brandon Miller, who was stunning in Charlotte, and the Indiana Pacers, who could get ugly with Tyrese Haliburton in a slump. KOC and Jason also hit Cooper Flagg, Brandon Ingram’s injury and the Denver Nuggets.
The NBA Cup is in the foreground, with the guys analyzing the Milwaukee Bucks’ title chances and Giannis’ best game of his career. Plus, they’re crushing the Orlando Magic, the surging Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Dallas Mavericks — with Jason even picking Dallas as his favorite to win it all.
Finally, they wrap up the Golden State Warriors drama surrounding Draymond Green’s bench and the balance between veterans and young talent in today’s NBA, before getting into the musical, discussing the Las Vegas Sphere, the Grateful Dead, and John Mayer’s influence on music.
