About this episode
The NBA preseason is heating up, and the Oklahoma City Thunder might already be the team to beat. In this episode of Locked On NBA, Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore, and Haize break down whether Chet Holmgren can elevate the Thunder to back-to-back championships and if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has enough help to make it happen. Then, the conversation shifts to the New York Knicks, where questions swirl around Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and their ability to coexist defensively under new leadership. The hosts dive into the NBA’s top storylines — from the Thunder’s quest for dynasty status to the Knicks’ roster fit — while also previewing key NBA preseason games featuring Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. 00:00 – Intro 02:14 -- Thunder’s repeat chances & Knicks’ roster flaws 13:56 – Knicks’ defensive issues & playoff outlook 21:57 – Ja Morant injury update 24:04 – NBA preseason games to watch tonight Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
