The first few days of the 2024-2025 NBA season are in the books and there is plenty to discuss. For the first third of the podcast, Kevin O’Connor is joined by Gibson Pyper (aka @HalfCourtHoops) to discuss Thursday night’s games in which the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves narrowly edged one from the Sacramento Kings and the Dallas. Mavericks had all the answers for the San Antonio Spurs.
Next, Tom Haberstroh joins KOC to react to the first few nights of regular season NBA action. The guys start in New Orleans, where an injury to Dejounte Murray’s hand could mean the return of “Point Zion” for the Pelicans.
The NBA said they are investigating the 76ers after Joel Embiid missed opening night and said he was done playing in back-to-back games. The bigger question is can the Sixers win enough games with Embiid and Paul George sitting so often?
LaMelo Ball lived up to the hype in his return from an ankle injury and led the comeback charge against the Rockets for a road win. Is there any player more fun to watch when they’re on fire?
Finally, the guys play a game of “Fact, Fiction or Fantasy” to answer questions about Scoot Henderson’s future, the Magic’s claim as Florida’s best team, the new Clippers fan wall at the Intuit Dome and more more
