Episode Details

The Thunder put the entire league on notice. On today's Locked On NBA, Doug Branson, Matt Moore, and Haize react to OKC’s Game 2 dismantling of the Timberwolves and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is living rent-free in the Wolves' heads. Matt calls OKC “a monster” and even goes as far as to declare the NBA title already decided.

The guys then shift to the Knicks-Pacers series, questioning whether Tom Thibodeau can keep rolling with the most-used and worst-performing lineup in the playoffs. Could a loss in Indiana force a long-overdue shakeup? Haize breaks down why the Pacers may be in a better position than it seems, and Matt analyzes why a “gimmicky” defensive strategy might be the Wolves’ last hope.

Later in the show, the panel discusses the Nuggets removing the interim tag from David Adelman before hiring a GM. Smart move or backwards process? Plus, Luka Doncic's offseason transformation plan has some people hopeful, but Matt’s taking a "show me" stance.

We also touch on the All-Defense team snubs (where are the Magic?) and look ahead to tonight’s All-NBA team reveal—with a full-throated plea from Matt to put Tyrese Haliburton on the list.
