Summary

Verno and KOC first get into the Steph Curry run that just keeps going (0:27) and Nikola Jokic doing things that no center has done before (19:47). Then they talk about whether the Suns are a major threat to be in the NBA Finals (27:00), who could beat the Clippers and their newfound chemistry in the West (36:35), and whether the Pelicans made a mistake in hiring head coach Stan Van Gundy (46:11). Finally, some good news: LaMelo Ball is set to return to the Hornets lineup this season after what looked like a season-ending wrist injury (59:05). Reminder: Don’t ever mention Campazzo’s name to Chris! Hosts: Chris Vernon and Kevin O’Connor Associate Producer: Sasha Ashall Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:43.2	Oh, Lord. It has been a fun 12 hours for Lakers Twitter, which even had a Kevin Durant angle,
0:54.2	as he somehow got tied into the conversation about it. But there was a catfish probe that is going
1:01.5	on on Lakers Twitter and so anybody can go look that up if they want to figure out what that was a reference to.
1:09.0	And you don't know what we're talking about. You do know about the first name that Kevin mentioned,
