Thunder Claim #1 Seed... SGA MVP? | Knicks Earn #2 Seed.. Rematch With Heat Or Embiid & 76ers? | Bucks Limp To Finish Line.. Pacers A Bad Draw?

Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) is joined by Rylan Stiles (@Locked On Thunder) to discuss the OKC Thunder claiming the #1 seed in the Western Conference, how this team made the jump from 40-42 last season to 57-25 this year, why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deserves this season's MVP award, and which current West Play-In teams are the BEST and WORST matchup for OKC in the first round.

Then, Alex Wolfe (@Locked On Knicks) jumps in to talk about the New York Knicks earning the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference, how this team has survived injuries and adversity all season, who has stepped up since losing Julius Randle for the year, and whether a rematch with the Miami Heat or a date with reigning MVP Joel Embiid and the 76ers is the ideal first round round matchup.

Lastly, Justin Garcia (@Locked On Bucks) breaks down the Milwaukee Bucks limping to the finish line as the regular season ends, why the Bucks are playing under .500 basketball with Doc Rivers as head coach, the optimistic timetable for Giannis Antetokounmpo's return from injury, why the Indiana Pacers gave the Bucks so much trouble during their season series this year, and how both teams are completely different ahead of this first round playoff series.
