Episode description
Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Nick Angstadt (@Locked On Mavericks) to discuss Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks taking Game 4 and evening up the series against Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Semifinals. How did the Mavs get off to such a hot start offensively? Is Luka at his best in games like this with more playmaking instead of scoring? What was going on with Chris Paul and the officiating? How has Dallas handled the size of Phoenix with Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee?
Then, Wes Goldberg (@Locked On Heat) swings by to discuss the Miami Heat Game 4 loss at the hands of James Hardne, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers despite a 40-point performance from Jimmy Butler. Do the Heat need to adjust how they are guarding James Harden? What about Joel Embiid? How has Miami adjusted the way they use Bam Adebayo defensively? Does the poor three-point shooting mean it's time to break out Duncan Robinson? How concerning is Kyle Lowry's lingering hamstring issue?
Finally, Shawn Coleman (@Locked On Grizzlies) jumps in to discuss the playoff series outlook between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors as Ja Morant is likely to miss Game 4 after a possibly dirty play by Jordan Poole in Game 3. Was the foul by Jordan Poole a dirty play? Is there a double-standard being set by the Warriors after the reaction to Gary Payton II's injury at the hands of Dillon Brooks? How were the Grizzlies able to find success WITHOUT Ja Morant earlier this season? What more can Memphis do to slow down Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole?
