Talkin Hoops with Kev Luke

My first guest on the pod this year is my guy Keegan (@Keegan_bergsiek on Twitter) and we discuss his Missouri Tigers this season under Coach Martin. We then give our picks on who we have winning each major conference tournament. Then we discuss LaMelo and the Hornets and finish off with some good NBA talk so tap in ‼️

The NBA Trade Deadline is in March 25th and I expect this one to be a little more chaotic than recent years so today I give you guys 3 teams that should look to trade some of their current players and 3 teams that should look to acquire some new additions to their rosters in order for improvement. As always tap in ❗️

Lonzo was heavily doubted coming out of UCLA largely in part to his father LaVar’s comments early in his career but in his 4th season in the league he is easily the X-factor for the New Orleans Pelicans and will get paid handily in his next contract with whatever team that might be. I then go into the Atlanta Hawks’ decision to fire Lloyd Pierce yesterday and name Nate McMillan the interim Head coach. Tap in ‼️

The Spartans have had a very up and down season standing with a record of 13-10 but Coach Izzo and the squad pulled off some big time wins last week against then two top 5 opponents so this upcoming week will be huge if the Spartans want to keep their 22 consecutive year streak of dancing in the NCAA Tournament alive. Tap in ❗️

The Celtics right now are struggling mightily so today I go into all of the problems that are holding them back from being true championship contenders. I then talk about the Rockets releasing DeMarcus Cousins and 3 potential suitors for Boogie as he looks for a new team. Tap in ❗️

The Wolverines went to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes in what was a top 5 matchup that lived up to the hype and even exceeded it. In the end though Juwan Howard lead his Wolverines to their first win in Columbus since 2014 in what was a big time win for their program. Tap in ❗️

The two young hoopers from the state of South Carolina have already left their makes on the league in their sophomore seasons. So on today’s episode I go into what makes these two guys special coming from practically the same place to now being the main guy for their individual franchises.

A 71-day offseason is not only the shortest offseason in the history in the NBA but also the shortest amongst the NFL, NHL and MLB as well. So on today’s podcast I divulge into what seems like a little fatigue between both of the teams that competed in the 2020 NBA Finals. Tap inwardly ‼️

The New York Knicks and their fan base have dealt with a lot throughout the past few decades but this year is much different. Bringing in Coach Thibs with the current roster they have has given them a new sense of life and urgency and bringing in Derrick Rose was the PERFECT move for them as they needed a much needed boost at the PG spot so I go into why we NBA fans must take the Knicks seriously from here on out. I then give my flowers to the top big men in the league by ranking the 3 best centers in the NBA going from 3 to 1 so as always tap in ‼️

Paige Buecker led the Lady Huskies with 31 points to take down a Goliath of an opponent in Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks in a game that took overtime to decide the winner so I break it down on today’s episode. Tap in ❗️
