Today we're talking about Cade's collapsed lung and what it means for the Pistons and the rest of the East, and then we're checking in on teams streaking with win streaks right now and teams that are skidding, the Nuggets and the Rockets, among others. Also, are we sure expansion's a good idea? We get into all that right now with me and Tom Haberstroh. Today's episode of "The Kevin O'Connor Show" is presented by GameTime. With the NBA back in full swing, nothing's better than being in the stands, but getting last-minute tickets to games can be a bit of a pain. The GameTime app makes it easy, though, for fans, because in just a few taps, you can get your tickets on time and at the best price. And what I love, fees are always included. I first noticed that when I was mapping out my concert calendar for the remainder of the season, 'cause I'm thinking about seeing this band called The Last Dinner Party. And I noticed when I was going to purchase tickets that it was so nice to see that there was no hidden fees at the end when deciding whether to buy the tickets or not. Finally, transparency. And with the GameTime guarantee, you know the tickets you're gonna get are 100% authentic. I go to most NBA games these days using my credentials, but when I decide to go with friends or take a date, I'll be using the GameTime app to snag them. So take the guesswork out of buying NBA tickets with GameTime. Download the GameTime app, create an account, and use code KOC for $20 off your first purchase. Terms do apply.
