Rising Heat, Jokic’s 104-point weekend & key NBA Cup questions | Kevin O’Connor Show

Charlotte: Last weekend was a big one for the NBA, and Kevin O’Connor had Jason Timpf on the show to break it all down. They kicked things off by talking about the Miami Heat and how Tyler Herro is really stepping up his game. It’s interesting because they think Miami might actually be better off not trading for Damian Lillard after all.

Then, they moved on to the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid is looking strong, and there’s a buzz that Philly might finally be turning things around, as long as they can keep their players healthy.

Brandon Miller from Charlotte is also making waves early in the season, while the Indiana Pacers might be facing some tough times with Tyrese Haliburton struggling. They also touched on Cooper Flagg and the injury to Brandon Ingram, plus the Denver Nuggets and their chances this season.

The NBA Cup is coming up, and they discussed the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis’ impressive play. Jason even picked the Dallas Mavericks as his top choice to win it all.

To wrap things up, they chatted about the Golden State Warriors and the drama surrounding Draymond Green’s benching. They also had some fun talking about the Las Vegas Sphere and the influence of the Grateful Dead and John Mayer on music. It was a packed episode with lots of insights!
