The Indiana Pacers pulled off another miraculous comeback in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and Tyrese Haliburton delivered once again—burying a buzzer-beater that left OKC stunned. Was Rick Carlisle’s experience the difference? The panel dives into how Carlisle trusted his squad in the clutch while Mark Daigneault made a risky pregame adjustment that backfired. The group debates whether Daigneault's starting lineup change was smart preparation or overconfident galaxy brain-ing. Plus, was OKC’s inability to score off turnovers the real story of the collapse?Later, they look ahead to Game 2—who needs to adjust more? The Pacers, who turned it over 24 times? Or the Thunder, who failed to capitalize on Indiana’s mistakes? And in our final segment, Matt and Haize react to Commissioner Adam Silver’s latest comments on expansion, All-Star format changes, and the ongoing battle over shortening the regular season.Don’t miss strong takes, smart analysis, and a whole lot of drama.

The New York Knicks shocked the NBA by firing head coach Tom Thibodeau—just weeks after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. In this emergency episode of Locked On NBA, Doug Branson is joined by Matt Moore and Haize to break down the timing, the fallout, and what it says about the Knicks’ title ambitions.Matt doesn't mince words, calling Thibodeau "a coach that runs his course" and pointing to OG Anunoby and McHale Bridges as players underutilized in Tibbs' system. Haize wonders if the Knicks are trying to get ahead of a weak Eastern Conference and push into the title picture next season.Could Mike Malone be the perfect replacement? Both Matt and Haize think so—citing his championship pedigree, New York roots, and ability to get the most out of star players. But what happens to Rick Brunson? And does this move signify more separation between player and power in New York?Plus, the crew dives into what this means for players like Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Brunson, and whether this bold coaching change signals that Leon Rose has truly raised the bar at MSG.If the Knicks want more than a feel-good story, was firing Thibodeau the only path forward?Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONBA?sid=YouTubeLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFind a Daily Locked On NBA Podcast covering your favorite team:📲 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFollow the Locked On Podcast NetworkTwitter 📲 https://twitter.com/LockedOnNetworkTikTok 📲 https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonsportsSubscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBAFollow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
