This week on Missing the Point, Dave Clarke, Michael Marcangelo, and Bob Kelly react to the WILDEST moments from the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
We kick off with the Western Conference: the Denver Nuggets crush the Clippers in Game 7 as Nikola Jokic puts up a historic 42-22-6 stat line. James Harden once again shrinks in the spotlight, and Kawhi Leonard disappears when it counts. Can the Thunder slow down the Joker? We debate OKC’s lack of size and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can rise to the challenge.
Then it’s on to the Warriors vs. Timberwolves series — Will Anthony Edwards explode again? Can Steph Curry carry this Golden State team with no bench support? Is Draymond Green about to implode? From Buddy Hield’s clutch shooting to Jonathan Kuminga’s ghost act, we break it all down.
On the Eastern front, we are HEATED about the Celtics’ collapse to the Knicks. How does a 20-point lead vanish? We call out Jayson Tatum’s poor decision-making, Jaylen Brown’s injury issues, and Kristaps Porzingis’ disappearing act. Plus: Donovan Mitchell goes off for the Cavs against Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers, and we question whether Joe Mazzulla is helping or hurting Boston’s playoff push.
