Kevin O’Connor is joined by Jason Timpf to discuss seven important takeaways from this past weekend’s NBA action before previewing the NBA Cup. The duo kicks things off with the red-hot Miami Heat and Tyler Herro’s breakout game. With Herro interjecting, the guys discuss how Miami could have 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, provided they can stay healthy.
They also discuss Brandon Miller, who has impressed early for Charlotte, and the Indiana Pacers, for whom things could go badly with Tyrese Haliburton in bad shape. KOC and Jason also hit Cooper Flagg, Brandon Ingram’s injury and the Denver Nuggets.
The NBA Cup is front and center, with the guys analyzing the Milwaukee Bucks’ title chances and Giannis’ career-best game. Plus, they break down 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 end with the Golden State Warriors drama surrounding Draymond Green’s bench and the balance of veterans and young talents in today’s NBA before getting musical with some discussions around the Las Vegas Sphere, Grateful Dead and John Mayer’s impact on music.
