The Mismatch
NBA Standings Check-in, Zion’s Comeback, DeRozan Trades, a Lakers Master Class, and a Tournament Recap
12 Dec 2023
Verno and KOC give their final thoughts about the in-season tournament after the Lakers defeated the Pacers to claim the first ever NBA Cup (01:09). They discuss the Lakers’ dominant defense, what the Pacers lack, as well as ideas for future tournaments. The guys take a look at the standings and debate which teams could potentially fall and which teams could rise by the time the season ends (24:24). Despite an injury-filled roster, Luka Doncic showed why he’s amazing in a win over the Grizzlies (34:20). After being completely embarrassed by national media, the guys explain why they were excited to see Zion play the way he did in a win against the Timberwolves last night (41:18). Also, the latest trade news surrounding DeMar DeRozan (49:05). Got a question for Verno and KOC? Send them an email at [email protected]!
