In this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, Kevin is joined by Tom Haberstroh. The guys start the episode talking about the Dallas Mavericks, who have lost four straight games and don’t look like the defending Western Conference Champions.
Similarly, the Minnesota Timberwolves do not look like a team that would have reached the Western Conference Finals. Is it Anthony Edwards fault? Do they miss Karl Anthony-Towns? Should the Timberwolves be concerned about the awkward fit of their current roster?
Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Donovan Clingan collected 8 blocks against Minnesota on Wednesday, and he’s starting to look like he might be the best big man in this year’s draft class.
Victor Wembanyama had to listen last week when Kevin and Tom told him to stop shooting so many 3s because he has made 20 of them in his last 3 games and seems to be breaking the basketball on both ends of the floor.
LeBron James has posted three straight triples as he approaches his 40th birthday. Tom has an incredible stat that doesn’t seem real, but sums up how productive this season has been for James. However, the Lakers still have major issues that they need to work out.
Finally, the guys take a look at the 2024-25 NBA rookie rankings too soon. There’s a big surprise at the #1 spot and some guys who are poised to jump up the list quickly.
