Marcus Morris returns to The Kevin O’Connor Show, sharing bold opinions on various NBA topics. Morris critiques Anthony Edwards’ impact on JJ Redick’s rookie head coaching, defends Luka Doncic’s conditioning and defense, and outlines what the Lakers must do to turn their series around. He also discusses necessary changes for Ty Lue and the Clippers to overcome the Denver Nuggets, predicts Giannis Antetokounmpo’s potential move to Miami, and suggests the Orlando Magic should trade for Trae Young. Morris doesn’t hold back, commenting on Pat Riley, Ja Morant, NBA referees, and expressing frustration over Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Draft slide.
Ethan Strauss and Sam Esfandiari join to analyze the Golden State Warriors’ 3-1 lead over the Houston Rockets. Ethan argues that the Steph Curry-Draymond Green duo has become an all-time legendary tandem, comparable to Stockton/Malone and Jordan/Pippen. Sam praises Draymond Green but notes that some Warriors fans remain critical. The discussion also touches on whether Steve Kerr is out-coaching Ime Udoka.
