Good afternoon and happy New Year.

Welcome to Locked on NBA Daily on today's show.

It's our New Year's special, and we're talking about our New Year's resolutions.

We'll talk about what the Lakers and Warriors need to do to accomplish what they need to accomplish in the new year,

how the Celtics can return to title contention and a whole lot more.

Let's jump in.

We're talking about our New Year's resolutions for a bunch of teams in the NBA, and we're doing it with the help of lockdown's local experts. I have two of the best with me, as always, from the Lockdown Nuggets podcast. He's a senior NBA writer for the Action Network. It's Matt Moore. Matt. Happy 2026. Can't believe we're here. Can't believe we made it. May 2026 be a little bit better than 2025 from the Lockedad Bulls podcast. He's a Bears and Bulls creator for Bleacher Report. It's Hayes. I'm going to double down on what I said yesterday. 2006 is the year of the petty. And I'm just get ready for it. I'm being very petty this year. This is manifesting your goals, right? Hey, it's like this is what you do. You got to keep saying it, keep repeating it every single day. I like it. If you're going to be petty, this is the way to be petty. We're going to start today's episode by checking in on some New Year's resolutions from around the league. We asked a few of the locked on local experts around the network to submit their resolutions for the teams that they cover. We're going to hit a few of them here. Let's start with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Camille Davis here from Lockdown, Buck, and if I had to pick a New Year's resolution for the Milwaukee Bucks, I think it would be one of the most common ones that you tend to hear

everyone talk about. Being healthy, taking health serious in the new year. For the Milwaukee Bugs,

health is paramount because it's a team that's constructed with the very thinnest margins of errors

when they're healthy, right? The bucks are 3 and 11 without

Yannis so far this season with the win over the Hornets. They are now 11 and 8 with him.

You might point to that and be like, so? That's barely above 500. Keep in mind, too, for the first,

gosh, month and a half of the season, there was no Kevin Porter, Jr. either.

The bucks are very short on ball handlers.

His absence was also felt.

Very small sample size, but in the four games that Yannis and Kevin Porter Jr.

have both played and finished the game, the bucks are three and one.

They need to be healthy to really see what they can do.
