Suns SHOCK Thunder, Players Changing the Narrative + Top Storylines of 2026 | ALL NBA PODCAST

Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the best NBA games and biggest storylines from around the league, starting with Cam Spencer’s standout performance and what it means for his rising hype. They react to a bad San Antonio Spurs loss, whether a late timeout should have been taken, if Victor Wembanyama returned too soon, and the controversy around Aldama’s final play. The show dives into LeBron James’ monster game and why the Spurs matchup matters for the Lakers, then shifts to the New York Knicks stacking up bad losses and whether there’s a Karl-Anthony Towns problem. They also discuss concern levels for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic, why panic is sky-high for the Atlanta Hawks, and explore potential Trae Young trade fits — including the Washington Wizards. 00:00 - Intro04:30 Cam Spencer’s great game06:05 Bad loss for the Spurs10:08 Cam Spencer hype is REAL11:35 Castle’s defense14:05 Should the Spurs have taken a TO late?17:18 Did Wemby come back too soon?20:30 Did Aldama travel on the last play??25:00 LeBron’s MONSTER game28:18 The Spurs are a huge game for LA34:25 The Knicks are stacking up bad losses36:38 Do the Knicks have a KAT problem?41:14 Should the Thunder be concerned?45:58 The Magic concern should be high48:55 Panic level is off the charts for Atlanta53:50 Trae to Washington?? FOLLOW ALL NBA Twitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBAInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/allcity_nba/TikTok : http://www.tiktok.com/@ALLCITY_NBAAn ALLCITY Network Production All music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify!Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/ALLNBA.

They dive into proposed fixes for NBA refereeing, including Mark Cuban’s ideas and JJ Redick’s comments on consistency and accountability. The conversation shifts to the Oklahoma City Thunder and league wide discussions around foul manipulation, before exploring why the G League and the G League Showcase have become more important to the NBA than ever. The episode also previews the best games on the NBA Christmas Day slate, examines early pressure mounting on Kenny Atkinson, and closes with a breakdown of the growing tension between Matt Ishbia and Dan Gilbert and what it could mean for the league. 00:00 - Intro03:24 - Has frustration with the refs reached a peak in the NBA?13:33 - Mark Cuban's solution to fixing NBA officiating15:50 - JJ Redick comments about officiating consistency  19:24 - Are the OKC Thunder the figurehead of foul manipulation?26:01 - The G League and G League showcase has never been more important34:41 - The Best games on Christmas day39:45 - Pressure is already mounting for Kenny Atkinson42:19 - Matt Ishbia vs Dan Gilbert beef FOLLOW ALL NBATwitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBAInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/allcity_nba/TikTok : http://www.tiktok.com/@ALLCITY_NBA An ALLCITY Network ProductionAll music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify! Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/ALLNBA.

Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the biggest NBA games and storylines from around the league, starting with reactions to the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup and what it means for their season. The guys dive into Trae Young’s return to the Hawks and how it was spoiled by a surging Hornets team, including a deep look at Charlotte’s young core and their shockingly efficient offense. They discuss Jalen Johnson’s rapid development and why he reminds Tim Legler of Kevin Durant, debate the best long term fit next to Trae Young, and analyze the Mavericks staying hot after outlasting the Pistons alongside another standout performance from Cooper Flagg. The show also covers Detroit’s shooting concerns, the Pelicans stunning the Rockets in overtime, the Nuggets’ dominant second quarter run against the Magic, the Suns edging the Warriors in a thriller, and a wildly controversial finish in the Blazers vs Kings game. 00:00 - Intro002:22 - Reactions to the Knicks winning the NBA Cup09:14 - Trae Young’s return spoiled by the Hornets12:55 - Jalen Johnson reminds Tim Legler of Kevin Durant17:22 - The Hornets young core create an insanely efficient offense22:39 - Who's a better fit with Trae Young: Dyson Daniels or Nickeil Alexander-Walker?24:50 - Mavs & Cooper Flagg outlast the Detroit Pistons and stay hot30:55 - Will a lack of shooting be the downfall of the Pistons?38:30 - The Pelicans surprise the Rockets and win in Overtime47:23 - The Nuggets’ 2nd quarter run against the Magic was DOMINANT49:58 - Suns outlast the Warriors in a nail biter  56:55 - The Blazers beat the Kings on a VERY controversial final play FOLLOW ALL NBATwitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBAInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/allcity_nba/TikTok : http://www.tiktok.com/@ALLCITY_NBA An ALLCITY Network ProductionAll music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify! Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/ALLNBA.
