About this listen

Kevin O’Connor is joined by J.E. Skeets to break down the matchups in the knockout round of the NBA Cup. They discuss reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s efficiency and the Oklahoma City Thunder's continued dominance with a historic start to the season.

Then, they share why Dillon Brooks is in heaven with the Phoenix Suns, whether Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić are the most dynamic duo in the NBA and how the Lakers can solve their defense.

Next, the duo breaks down how the San Antonio Spurs are continuing to develop without Victor Wembanyama and whether the Magic are playing their best basketball without Paolo Banchero. Plus, is Sandro Mamukelashvili a top contender for Sixth Man of the Year? Are the Knicks the favorites in the East?
