Are the Warriors READY for the Rockets? | Zion’s Future in New Orleans DOUBT | Nico Keeps Making Luka Trade WORSE

On this episode of Locked On NBA, the crew breaks down a wild night across the league with massive implications for the playoffs and beyond. The Golden State Warriors punched their ticket—but not without controversy—as they squeaked past the Grizzlies in a game full of questionable decisions, wild officiating, and Steph Curry magic. Matt Moore and Haize offer their brutally honest takes on whether Golden State can keep it together against the rising Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks front office made things worse , not better, by attempting to defend the shocking Luka Doncic trade. The quotes from Nico Harrison and Rick Welts have fans and analysts shaking their heads—and Matt doesn’t hold back on the front office's "hubris" and disconnect from reality. We also check in on the Bulls-Heat play-in matchup with insights from Locked On Heat's Wes Goldberg, and Locked On Bulls lays out the stakes for Chicago to finally flip the play-in script. Orlando Magic fans are calling out Boston—careful what you wish for? Plus, what’s next for Zion and the Pelicans with Joe Dumars stepping in as president? Will he be the one to finally steady the ship or blow it all up?
