On this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, Kevin is joined by Tom Haberstroh. The guys start the episode by talking about the Dallas Mavericks, who have lost four straight games and don’t look like the defending Western Conference Champions.
Likewise, the Minnesota Timberwolves don’t look like a team that would have made it to 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 had eight 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 must have listened last week when Kevin and Tom told him to stop shooting so many threes because he has made 20 in his last three games and seems to be breaking the basketball on both ends of the floor.
LeBron James has recorded three consecutive triple-doubles as he approaches his 40th birthday. Tom has incredible stats that don’t feel real, but sum up how productive this season has been for James. However, the Lakers still have major issues to solve.
Finally, the guys are looking at the 2024-2025 NBA rookie rankings way too early. There’s a big surprise at the No. 1 spot and a few guys ready to move up the list quickly.
