Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Adam Armbrecht (@Locked On Nets) to discuss how the Kevin Durant injury impacts the Brooklyn Nets, his timetable for return and expectations while he's sidelined. How significant is the timing of the injury as the Nets were starting to really come together? How do Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons have to adjust without KD? Which other players are asked to step into bigger roles? What would be considered a "win" in this stretch without Durant? Then, David Ramil (@Locked On Heat) breaks down why the Miami Heat have struggled so much compared to last season's dominance + the uncertain future for veteran guard Kyle Lowry. Why have the Heat slipped from 12th on offense last season to just 23rd this season? Is Miami playing better without Kyle Lowry? With one year left on his deal, is moving Lowry at the deadline for the right return package the correct move? What are the biggest needs for Miami ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline? Is Victor Oladipo finally back to his old production level? Lastly, Joe Mullinax (@Locked On Grizzlies) swings by to talk about the Memphis Grizzlies riding a 9-game winning streak and sitting at the top of the Western Conference behind insane play from Ja Morant. Are the Grizzlies getting enough respect as true contenders? Is Ja at the same level as other MPV hopefuls? Why should Jaren Jackson Jr. be the frontrunner for the DPOY trophy? What's the case for Taylor Jenkins for NBA Coach of the Year? #Nets #Heat #Grizzlies Subscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBA Follow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Built Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
