Sixers DYSFUNCTION| Cavs-Celtics CLASH | Knicks Witch Hunt?

Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

On this episode of Locked On NBA, we’re diving into Cleveland’s red-hot start and whether they have what it takes to maintain their undefeated streak against the defending champions. With the game doubling as an NBA Cup matchup, we analyze how this could be more than just a regular-season clash, featuring insights from Locked On Cavs host Danny Cunningham and other experts.

Beyond the court, the drama is heating up in New York. The NBA is reportedly investigating the Knicks over the promotion of assistant coach Rick Brunson, father of star point guard Jalen Brunson. Is this a legitimate inquiry into league rules, or just another chapter in the ongoing feud between the NBA and James Dolan? The panel debates the ramifications, potential league hypocrisy, and what this means for the Knicks’ current momentum on the court.

Meanwhile, in Orlando, Franz Wagner is making waves for the Magic, stepping up in the absence of Paolo Banchero. With impressive performances and consistent leadership, Wagner is staking his claim as an All-Star candidate. But can he sustain this level of play when Banchero returns? We break down Wagner’s rise and why he might be one of the most overlooked stars in the league.

On the flip side, the Philadelphia 76ers are in a free fall. Sitting at 2-11, they’re off to their worst start in nearly a decade, and fingers are pointing in every direction. Is it Nick Nurse’s coaching? Joel Embiid’s inconsistencies? Or Daryl Morey’s top-heavy roster construction? Recent locker room revelations and tensions within the team suggest it’s a little bit of everything. Our hosts discuss how this early-season chaos could impact the Sixers’ championship aspirations.

And let’s not forget the NBA Cup. With ratings reportedly improving as the tournament unfolds, the panel weighs in on whether the league’s mid-season experiment is starting to resonate with fans. Is the NBA Cup adding meaningful stakes to early-season matchups, or is it still struggling to capture the attention of casual viewers?
