One thing each contender needs to clean up for an NBA Finals run
About this episode
Kevin O'Connor is joined by Danny Parkins of FS1's "Breakfast Ball" to do a little Spring Cleaning ahead of the NBA Playoffs. Today is 4/09, so Danny and KOC decide to address and tidy up the biggest MESS on each title contender. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Milwaukee Bucks are discussed in the East, while in the West KOC and Danny "clean up" the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, and Minnesota Timberwolves. Plus - the guys offer further analysis, fallout and reasoning from the surprise firing of Nuggets HC Michael Malone.
