Kevin O’Connor & Steve Jones break down the Northwest Division heading into the 2025-26 NBA season. The pair dive into the Thunder’s title defense, Denver Nuggets’ revamped depth and whether the Minnesota Timberwolves belong in the true contender tier. Plus, could the Trail Blazers play with two bigs? And how will the Utah Jazz’s promising young core and cast of veterans impact their development?
 

Then, Justin Boone joins to break down early fantasy football surprises and key NFL storylines after Week 1. From J.J. McCarthy’s breakout with the Vikings to Caleb Williams’ accuracy concerns, waiver wire pickups and head coaches who might already be on the hot seat—all this and more on The Kevin O’Connor Show.
