Hoops Tonight - Jalen Brunson & Knicks ROLLING + Reacting to Kevin Durant’s NBA milestone w/ Suns

Jason Timpf is back reacting to an exciting night of basketball led by Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the New York Knicks defeating the Indiana Pacers 128-115. Jason tips his cap to KAT for dropping 40 points on Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers, and gives his flowers to Josh Hart for his tenacity on both ends of the floor, including pouring in 30 points and 10 rebounds. Jason gives us the keys to the Knicks’ success as New York City’s premier NBA franchise attempts to capture their first Larry O’Brien trophy in several decades. Next, Jason recaps Kevin Durant’s performance for the Phoenix Suns as he entered the 30,000 point club, joining rarefied air in NBA history. Timpf proceeds to explain why Durant’s scoring prowess is still so impressive after coming back from a devastating ACL injury, proving the sure-fire Hall of Famer to be one of the best offensive players in the Association’s history. Then, Jason spins negative and explains why the Phoenix Suns’ roster issues, exacerbated by ballooned player salaries, could hold them back as their short NBA title window appears to be closing.

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Luka’s Lakers Debut, Butler A Perfect Fit For Warriors, Spurs Could Be A PROBLEM, NBA WAY More Interesting After Trades

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk all things NBA! They start with Luka Doncic making his debut with the Lakers and why his presence has reinvigorated the team and given the Lakers offense the juice to compete in the postseason (4:15). They examine all the potential western conference teams that could create problems for the Lakers in the playoffs and why the Lakers should be able to compete with all of them (8:00). Colin calls the Spurs the team he wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs despite having a record that wouldn’t qualify them for the play-in (12:45), and they discuss why Jimmy Butler being the “anti-Wiggins” has proven to be a perfect fit for the Warriors (14:30). They break down why the Kyle Kuzma trade for the Bucks was a sneaky good under the radar move (21:15), and discuss why in the era of analytics, intelligence and situational awareness are underrated traits in basketball players (28:15). Jason explains why the Lakers “small-ball” lineup isn’t actually that small (32:00), and try to solve the Knicks inability to beat the Celtics (36:00).  They discuss why all the trade deadline moves have made the league far more interesting, and why the league and owners need to be less rigid about player movement and why the Luka trade wasn’t just good for the Lakers…but for the LEAGUE (46:00). Finally, Colin explains why the size of the supermax contract Luka was due makes trading him far less egregious (56:45).  Follow Colin and The Volume on Twitter for the latest content and updates!  #Volume #Herd #HoopsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They start with the Nuggets evening the series 2-2 with the Timberwolves, why the schedule benefitted Denver (3:00), and why the series might come down to the battle between Karl-Anthony Towns vs Aaron Gordon (6:00). They try to project the trajectory for Anthony Edwards and compare his spectacular play and less than spectacular playoff results to early Michael Jordan. (11:00) They debate whether Kevin Durant could be the missing piece for the Wolves or Kicks (15:30), whether the Celtics are just “very good” or truly elite (24:00), and whether Jayson Tatum is truly a #1 or the best #2 in the league (30:00). They discuss whether the Lakers should take the risk of hiring J.J. Reddick as a first time head coach (37:00), and why they’d need a full buy-in from LeBron for it to work (42:45).
