On this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, KOC and Tom Haberstroh dive into the news before revealing what their 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 spotlight Franz Wagner, who has found his jump shot and is once again looking like one of the top 20 players in the NBA. Anthony Davis, an MVP favorite, 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, whether or not filled with paid actors.
The Hornets topped 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 have fallen to 8-7 and appear to be out of the woods with a tough part of the schedule ahead of them.
Before diving into their NBA one-month election schedule, the guys discuss the idea of the NBA changing its playoff format to a 1-16 system that doesn’t rely on conferences. Is this in the 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 for the All-NBA or All-Rookie teams if the season ended today.
