The Dallas Mavericks obliterated the Sacramento Kings to advance to the second Play-In game. The Miami Heat also sent the Chicago Bulls home. What's next for both of those franchises? Also, it's time for our first round series predictions!

The NBA Postseason kicked off last night with a pair of Play-In games. The Orlando Magic take care of business vs the Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors get a CRAZY win over the Memphis Grizzlies. I also have to announce the return of something big. Finally, a transcript of the behind closed doors meeting has been released. Should we talk about it?

It's the best time of the year! The NBA playoffs are here! Today we'll briefly go over the first round series and take a look back at our preseason predictions. Where was I right... where was I wrong?

The Denver Nuggets shocked the NBA world by announcing the firing of both head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth just a week before the playoffs. What on earth does this mean? The Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder squared off for the second time in a couple of nights and it didn't disappoint. The Lakers should feel confident heading into a potential playoff matchup against this team. Also, why was Luka Doncic ejected?

Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers get a statement win on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder. What can we take away from this game? The Denver Nuggets are in an absolute free fall currently, when does it end? A lot to talk about today!

Today we talk about a very interesting matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Are there valid reasons to be concerned about Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers? Does it look like the Golden State Warriors are hitting  their stride at the right time? Ja Morant has an incredible game against the Miami Heat and I am here to defend him

Russell Westbrook delivers an all-time blunder vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. But my main takeaway from last night's Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets showdown is how epic the playoffs will be. I also have something that I want to get off my chest. 

The Phoenix Suns get embarrassed by the Houston Rockets and, to make matters worse, Kevin Durant hurts his ankle. Is this the end for them? Also, Tim MacMahon joined Locked on Mavericks to discuss the Luka Doncic traded and his new book. IS Nick Angstadt trying to get me canceled? 

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be allergic to playing normal basketball games. Is this recent stretch reason for concern with them? Speaking of the Lakers, LeBron James and Stephen A Smith's feud is ridiculous but unfortunately worth our attention. Finally, is it possible the Dallas Mavericks could make some noise in the next month?

We got a lot to talk about today! The Sacramento Kings might be the team that falls out of the Play-In Tournament. Rick Welts was interviewed during the game. I also, believe it or not, give my MLB predictions for the upcoming season.
