Preach Kev Preach w/ Rashad

Game 1 of the WCF was an instant classic as the young guns from Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs went to DOUBLE OT. The Prophets break down why SA almost let OKC steal Game 1 — and why OKC can’t afford to let those late-game mistakes linger through the series. Kev and Rashad debate whether the Thunder’s depth or the Spurs’ poise will decide the West, and why the Prophets believe San Antonio absolutely could not let that opportunity slip away. 

We also discuss the end of the road for the Minnesota Timberwolves. What move keeps them from falling behind both OKC and SA moving forward? Is another star needed, or is internal growth enough?

Then we head East after the Detroit Pistons fall in 7 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kev explains why he wants drastic changes despite Detroit’s breakthrough season, while Rashad questions whether patience is the smarter play.

Finally, it’s time for the ECF preview as the New York Knicks battle the Cavs. Shad rides with Cleveland while Kev backs New York. Is Karl-Anthony Towns the true key to the Knicks making the Finals? And can Cleveland’s “big 4” actually play well enough together to win four games against a physical Knicks squad?

On this episode of The Prophets, Kev and Rashad reveal their top 28 WNBA players heading into the season. The guys debate the massive drop for Arike Ogunbowale, why Paige Bueckers made one of the biggest leaps on the list, and why the top tier still belongs to A’ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, and Breanna Stewart.

Later, the conversation shifts to the teams as Kev breaks down his WNBA tiers and explains why he’s extremely high on the Los Angeles Sparks this season. Rashad dives into why he loves the moves made by the Dallas Wings and how their future could arrive faster than people think. The guys also discuss why the New York Liberty should be the favorites to win it all, which teams are being overlooked, and where the biggest disagreements landed across the rankings.

The NBA Playoffs just leveled up — and The Prophets are here for the Quarterfinals. 

Kev and Rashad kick things off with a Round 1 recap, highlighting the shocking run from Los Angeles Lakers as they pulled off a statement upset over the Houston Rockets. Plus, two teams clawed back from 3-1 deficits, proving this postseason is anything but predictable.

From there, the focus shifts to the next round — where respect is given to LeBron James… but Kev sees a reality check coming, with Oklahoma City Thunder ready to make a statement. In the West, Rashad drops a bold take: without Anthony Edwards at full strength, the San Antonio Spurs could dominate the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 4-1 series.

Over in the East, it’s a split between The Prophets. Rashad is riding with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Kev is locking in with the Detroit Pistons. The big questions: can Tobias Harris stay hot, and is this finally the year Donovan Mitchell breaks through to the Eastern Conference Finals?

To close it out, it’s Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks — and while both hosts are leaning Philly, Rashad is already anticipating a classic Knicks collapse. Still, there’s a real path for either squad to take control of the series.

Quarterfinals energy is different… and The Prophets are calling every shot. 🎙️

The Prophets are back with another loaded episode, and this one starts with a league-wide conversation that could shift the future of the game. Kev and Rashad break down the NBA’s new proposal to combat tanking—what it actually means, why the league is pushing it now, and whether it truly fixes the problem or just puts a band-aid on it. Is this about competitive integrity, or are teams always going to find a workaround when a generational prospect is on the line?

From there, the guys head into the playoffs, starting with Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jokić looking gassed has people talking—but should we really be surprised? Kev dives into the workload, the physicality of the series, and whether this is just the cost of carrying a contender deep into the postseason.

Next, the spotlight shifts to the East where the Orlando Magic are up 3-2 on the Detroit Pistons. As an 8-seed, Orlando has already made noise—but can they actually finish the job? Rashad and Kev debate whether this is a feel-good story or the start of something real.

Then it’s back to Cleveland, where Kev revisits a familiar frustration with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even after a big second half in Game 5, Kev explains why Mobley still hasn’t earned that full trust as a go-to guy—and what’s missing for him to truly take that next leap

.All that and more on another episode of The Prophets—where takes are tested, and nothing is off limits.

The NFL Draft is here and Kev is in his bag, slotting prospects and separating hype from reality. From top-tier talent to questionable fits, nothing is safe in this breakdown.
Kev explains why he’s not all the way sold on Mendoza as a “I love him” guy, despite the buzz, and what’s missing from his profile compared to true franchise changers. Then it’s time to look at how the New York Giants and New York Jets handled having multiple picks—did they build smart, or just add more questions?
One of the most exciting takeaways? How Jeremiah Love ends up making life VERY easy for one lucky quarterback, instantly changing the outlook of an offense.
From draft philosophy to bold takes and future stars, Kev is calling his shots on who got it right—and who might regret their decisions real soon.

The NBA Playoffs are HERE and The Prophets are breaking it all down. Kev and Rashad start in the West with Lakers vs Rockets, where injuries to Luka and Austin Reaves  completely swung the series. Last time we get to see KD vs Bron.

Then it’s onto one of the toughest matchups in the playoffs: Nuggets vs Timberwolves. Both teams might have the hardest road to a championship, but with Jokic playing the best basketball of his career, the big question is—can he keep carrying  his team and  get past this Wolves squad? 

Out East, the guys question whether the Cavaliers are built for playoff basketball or if they’re just too soft when it matters most. And don’t sleep on Toronto—could the Raptors actually make this a scary series?

Then it’s time for a classic Prophets debate that's been lasting for YEARS: Hawks vs Knicks. Rashad is riding with Atlanta, Kev is standing firm with New York—who’s right?

To close it out, quick-fire predictions for the Conference Finals and who’s making a run to the NBA Finals 👀

Kev is flying solo on this episode breaking down a full WNBA mock draft, going pick-by-pick through the entire first round and giving his personal evaluation on every major prospect shake-up.
At the center of the conversation, Kev makes a strong claim that Lauren Betts is his clear No. 1 player on the board—an anchor big with dominance, size, and two-way upside that he believes separates her from the rest of the class. However, with recent roster and draft-direction decisions from the Dallas Wings, Kev explains why he ultimately has a different player coming off the board at No. 1 in his mock, shifting the top selection toward another franchise-changing talent like Paige Bueckers.
From there, Kev dives deep into how the rest of the first round plays out—highlighting team fits, surprise risers, and potential steals that could reshape the league’s future.
To close the episode, he shifts focus to his favorite second-round sleepers, spotlighting under-the-radar prospects he believes could outplay their draft position and become key rotation pieces sooner than expected.

The Prophets are back breaking down a wild championship run in college hoops. The guys open with the Michigan Wolverines taking down the UConn Huskies to win the men’s national title, then shift to the women’s side where the UCLA Bruins shock the South Carolina Gamecocks to claim the crown.
From there, the conversation turns to the transfer portal and how in today’s era, roster turnover can outweigh everything you thought you knew about a team’s season.
The Prophets then rave about Lauren Betts, making the case for why she’s the true #1 overall pick for the Dallas Wings after dominating both Texas Longhorns in the Final Four and the championship game.
To close, the guys tap into the NBA, debating the 65-game requirement rule, what it means for awards, player value, and how it could shape the entire 2026 season.

We break down the tournament through the lens of the KenPom Top 20—separating the real contenders from the teams living off numbers that might not translate when the lights get bright. Which squads are built to survive? And which ones are one bad matchup away from getting sent home early? From there, we start nitpicking—because in March, every flaw matters. Can these top teams actually handle pressure, pace, and physicality when styles clash? Of course, it wouldn’t be March without upsets. We’re calling our shots on bracket-busting teams, identifying where the numbers lie, and where the eye test says something completely different.Then we get into the fun part: the matchups we need to see. The potential clashes that could define this tournament and shift legacies.
This episode isn’t just predictions—it’s the full breakdown of how they think, how the Prophets  build their brackets, and why March Madness never goes the way you expect.

On this episode of The Prophets, Kev and Rashad react to Bam Adebayo’s historic 83-point night and the internet going crazy over it.

The Prophets break down the performance, the reactions around the NBA, and what it means going forward.
Later, the guys pivot to the NFL and the Maxx Crosby situation after the potential deal fell through, sending him right back to Las Vegas.
