The ALL NBA Podcast How Far Can Durant Carry Houston? The Suns are Building + Favorite Role Players | ALL NBA Podcast
Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the biggest NBA games and storylines from around the league, starting with the Houston Rockets taking down the Orlando Magic and whether Houston leans too heavily on Kevin Durant. They analyze Reed Sheppard’s defensive effort and shooting importance, Amen Thompson’s unusual season, Tari Eason’s impact, and late-game struggles from Paolo Banchero as Orlando looks to regain its identity. The episode also covers a massive Phoenix Suns win, offensive execution down the stretch, and Legs’ perspective after coaching against Collin Gillespie. The conversation shifts to the Lakers’ defensive issues, late-game decision-making, whether Luka Dončić should have been on the floor, Deandre Ayton’s comments about Clint Capela, and questions about LeBron James’ recent play. They close by highlighting under-20-minute players who consistently impact winning. A must-listen for NBA fans tracking playoff implications, star performances, and the league’s biggest debates.
