The Knicks, Nuggets, and Pacers flipped the NBA playoffs on their heads with Game 1 stunners. We break down shocking home losses, question if the Cavs are cooked, and debate whether LeBron James would actually leave the Lakers.

Three 60+ win teams—all losers in Game 1. The second round of the NBA playoffs is off to a wild start, and Locked On NBA is breaking it all down. The Knicks stole one from Boston in overtime thanks to a gritty performance from Josh Hart and OG Anunoby. But is this win sustainable, or just playoff chaos? Meanwhile, the defending champion Denver Nuggets out-toughed the OKC Thunder, even with less rest and a rough night from Michael Porter Jr. Was Aaron Gordon the most clutch player of the night?

The Cavaliers' loss to Indiana may be the most alarming of all, with injuries piling up and lineup choices under fire. Can Donovan Mitchell carry Cleveland past a surging Pacers squad?

Plus, we discuss offseason chess moves: LeBron moving on from the Lakers would give them some flexibility to build around Luka Doncic. Matt, gives us the scenario where LeBron could stay in L.A. and free up funds for the Lakers. Could the Rockets turn Fred VanVleet into a blockbuster trade piece this summer?

It's upset season in the NBA—and we're playing “Sus or Sustainable” to figure out what’s real and what’s just Game 1 noise. All that and more on today’s Locked On NBA.
