On this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, KOC and Tom Haberstroh dive into the news before revealing what their award ballots would look like if the NBA season ended today.
The guys are using the Magic’s thrilling win over the Lakers last night to highlight Franz Wagner, who has found his stride and is once again looking like one of the 20 best players in the NBA. MVP favorite Anthony Davis is already starting to look a little tired.
KOC talks about his visit to the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, where he witnessed many bathrooms and The Wall, which may or may not be filled with paid actors.
The Hornets outlasted the Pistons in overtime and appear to be built for the future with young stars like LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Tom and Kevin also discuss the Timberwolves, who fell to 8-7 and appear to be out of sorts with a tough stretch of the schedule ahead of them.
Before diving into their NBA one-month awards polls, the guys discuss the idea of the NBA changing its playoff seeding to a 1-16 system that doesn’t depend on conferences. Is it in the best interest of the league? Is it even possible?
Finally, find out who their picks would be for MVP, Rookie of the Month, Defensive Player of the Month, Most Improved Player, Coach of the Month, Sixth Man of the Month and even on the All-NBA or All-Rookie teams if the season ended today.
