On this week’s episode of Missing the Point, hosts Dave Clarke, Rayshawn Buchanan, Mike Marcangelo, and Bob Kelly deliver an unfiltered and in-depth breakdown of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. From the Western Conference Finals to the Celtics’ crushing playoff exit, we’re covering all the biggest headlines in professional basketball.
We begin in the West, where the Oklahoma City Thunder continue their incredible postseason run after a dominant Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing at an MVP level and key role players like Alex Caruso and Chet Holmgren stepping up, the Thunder might just be the favorites to win it all. We also evaluate Anthony Edwards’ playoff struggles and what Minnesota needs to adjust to stay competitive.
Over in the East, the Indiana Pacers shocked the New York Knicks with a wild Game 1 comeback. The crew discusses Tyrese Haliburton’s evolution into a franchise cornerstone, the Knicks' late-game collapse, and how this thrilling series could play out.
Then, it’s time for a brutally honest postmortem on the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum’s devastating ankle injury, Joe Mazzulla’s controversial coaching decisions, and the looming financial pressure on Boston’s roster all come under scrutiny. Is it time to blow it up or regroup for another run?
Whether you’re a Celtics fan, a Thunder believer, or just a diehard NBA junkie, this is the playoff reaction episode you don’t want to miss.
