On this jam-packed episode of Missing the Point, hosts Dave Clarke and Rayshawn Buchanan deliver a passionate, in-depth instant reaction to the Boston Celtics’ crushing Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The 121-113 defeat at Madison Square Garden puts the Celtics down 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals—and the injury to Jayson Tatum may have just ended their championship dreams.
We dissect every pivotal moment of the game, from Tatum’s devastating lower leg injury and what it means for his future in the NBA, to Jaylen Brown’s lackluster postseason performance, and Kristaps Porzingis’ inability to impact the series. With the Celtics’ title hopes hanging by a thread, can they bounce back in Game 5 at TD Garden? Or is this the heartbreaking end to their 2025 playoff run?
This episode also dives into Boston’s long-term future: potential offseason trades, including whether Jaylen Brown should be moved, how Jrue Holiday and Derrick White fit into the big picture, and the chances of Porzingis being part of the plan going forward. We reflect on past NBA postseason injuries that changed the course of franchises and discuss whether the Celtics are witnessing the end of an era.
From raw emotion to honest critique, this episode is must-listen content for any Celtics die-hard, NBA fan, or basketball junkie looking for deep playoff analysis and real-time reaction.
