NBA Playoffs: Nuggets Dominate, Celtics Collapse & Warriors in Trouble?

This week onMissing the Point, hosts Dave Clarke, Michael Marcangelo, and Bob Kelly bring you an unfiltered, in-depth breakdown of the 2025 NBA Playoffs — from Nikola Jokic’s dominance to the Celtics’ catastrophic collapse against the Knicks.

We start in the Western Conference, dissecting the Los Angeles Clippers' embarrassing Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets. James Harden disappears again when it matters most, while Nikola Jokic puts on a clinic with a monster 42-point, 22-rebound performance that proves why he's the best player on the planet. We also analyze Jamal Murray’s resurgence and whether the Oklahoma City Thunder can find any answers for Jokic’s unstoppable game. Plus, we show love to Russell Westbrook and debate if his comic relief on the court might be hiding real value in the Nuggets’ playoff run.

Then we preview the Timberwolves vs. Warriors showdown — Can Anthony Edwards cement his superstar status? Will Draymond Green's volatility derail Golden State? Is Steph Curry still that guy? We also assess Buddy Hield’s surprising impact and Jonathan Kuminga’s disappearing act.

Over in the East, we react to the Boston Celtics blowing a 20-point lead to the New York Knicks. What’s going on with Jayson Tatum’s shot selection? Can a banged-up Jaylen Brown still lead this team? And is Kristaps Porzingis healthy enough to contribute? We also cover Donovan Mitchell’s explosive playoff form in the Cavs vs. Pacers series, Evan Mobley's rise, and whether Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers are the biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference.
