Are The Heat Legit Contenders & Jimmy Butler Concerns | Kings Escaping Play-in & Trading Offense For Defense | Magic Defensive Identity & Postseason Expectations

Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) is joined by Wes Goldberg (@Locked On Heat) to discuss the Miami Heat back-to-back wins against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Terry Rozier’s importance and fit since joining Miami, why the Heat have struggled against good teams this season, concerns with Jimmy Butler and whether or not the Heat are still “legit” contenders.

Then, Matt George (@Locked On Kings) breaks down how this Sacramento Kings season should be viewed after the success of last season, chances of escaping the Western Conference play-in tournament bracket, running things back while other teams got better, trading offense for defense post-All-Star Break, and lessons learned from last season's playoff experience.

Lastly, Philip Rossman-Reich (@Locked On Magic) talks about the Orlando Magic going from missing the playoffs to battling for a top-4 seed, Jamahl Mosley’s coaching and contract extension, Paolo Banchero’s year two growth, and playoff expectations including the ideal first round matchup.
