KOC and Tom Haberstroh react to the Wolves evening their series with the Golden State Warriors at 1-1. Anthony Edwards suffered a bad-looking ankle injury, but miraculously returned for the 2nd half. But does it even matter, as Kevin thinks the Warriors are DONE after this one? PLUS – what team would be the absolute dream landing spot for Cooper Flagg on Monday night’s NBA Draft Lottery? The guys preview the Lotto that is just a weekend away!

Up next, NBA Skills Coach Drew Hanlen is back on The KOC Show to talk about how his client Chet Holmgren bounced back to have a great Game 2. What did the Oklahoma City Thunder do different on both ends of the floor to completely neutralize Nikola Jokic? Hanlen also works with Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers, calling him “the best passer in the NBA.” With the Pacers set to take on the Cavs in Game 3, KOC wants to know, why doesn’t he shoot more??

And then, Noa Dalzell and Jack Simone join KOC to break down how the Boston Celtics have fallen into the completely unexpected 0-2 hole vs the underdog New York Knicks. How much of the blame should superstar Jayson Tatum get, and how much of it falls on HC Joe Mazzulla? Find out the answers to all those questions in this awesome KOC Show conversation!

Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images In the past, trips to Seattle almost have felt like home games for the Toronto Blue Jays.

But it appears that might not be the case this weekend when the teams open a three-game series Friday night. President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs and rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state apparently will keep many Blue Jays fans at home.

He didn't face too many tough tests, but he always answered the bell when he […]
