  • Bucks panic button, Wembanyama's 5x5 & a slow start for rookies | The Kevin O'Connor Show
    Nov 1 2024

    Kevin O'Connor, along with Tom Haberstroh, wonders if it's time for the Bucks to trade away Giannis and Damian Lillard, how many 5x5 games Wembanyama will have and why aren't rookies playing more?

    (00:00) - Time for the Bucks to panic?
    (08:05) - Should Milwaukee trade Giannis and Damian Lillard?
    (18:00) - Can the Grizzlies survive more injuries?
    (24:00) - Victor Wembanyama gets another 5x5
    (33:00) - Paolo Banchero is one of several stars facing injury
    (37:00) - Why aren't the NBA's rookies playing more?
    (44:20) - Ryan Dunn for Rookie of the Year?
    (52:00) - Is Anthony Edwards shooting too many 3s?

    On this episode of The Kevin O'Connor Show, Tom Haberstroh joins Kevin and the show starts with a conversation about the 1-4 Milwaukee Bucks and whether it's time for them to panic and start looking for trade destinations for Giannis, Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez.

    The Memphis Grizzlies, coming off of a definitive win over the Bucks, seem to be the picture of stability but their injury issues from last year might be crashing the party yet again.

    Spurs' center Victor Wembanyama became the 3rd player in NBA history to net more than a single 5x5 game. How many will he have in his career? And why isn't the Spurs offense better when he's on the floor?

    The guys use the news of Paolo Banchero's oblique injury to talk about the six players that were all-stars last season and are currently dealing with injuries at the start of the NBA season.

    Things are trending upward, but Tom points out that rookies are playing fewer minutes than ever to start the season. How can we get the Rockets to free Reed Sheppard? And is Ryan Dunn the favorite to win Rookie of the Year right now?

    Finally, the guys talk about why they're worried about Anthony Edwards shooting more 3-pointers and discuss why nobody is noticing the uptick in dunks as well as long-range shots.

  • 87.5: Why it's time to panic for the Denver Nuggets | The Big Number
    Oct 31 2024

    The Big Number this week is about Russell Westbrook, but it says much more about the Denver Nuggets' offense and championship window. Join Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine as they go through all the stats and make bold predictions.

    (03:50) - THE BIG NUMBER: 87.5

    (05:45) - Will the Nuggets make the playoffs?

    (09:30) - Denver's lack of depth

    (14:50) - Russell Westbrook's age

    (20:10) - Nuggets need more from Murray & MPJ

    (27:10) - Has Russ lost his burst?

    (30:55) - Has the Nuggets championship window closed?

    (36:15) - Over/unders

    On this week's episode of The Big Number, Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine dig into the stats and make bold predictions about the Denver Nuggets.

    To start, Tom is very concerned with how bad the Denver offense has been with Russell Westbrook on the floor. He's starting to worry about their ability to make the playoffs this year.

    Tom compares Westbrook at 35 to other similar guards to show how unique he is to still be playing in the NBA at this age, while Dan points out that the Nuggets have bigger problems in their starting lineup.

    Dan came with a stat of his own, showing that Westbrook might finally be losing enough of his trademark burst and athleticism for it to be a problem. Meanwhile, Tom worries if the Nuggets have any way to get back into contention if their highest paid players don't start playing better.

    Finally, as they did last week, the guys finish the show by picking sides on some fun over/unders.
