Breaking down Boston's breakdown, NBA playoffs' second round

Episode Summary

What has happened to Boston's offense and everything else about the second round of the playoffs.

Episode Notes

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks adjusted, Kyrie Irving and the Celtics can't score, and suddenly the Bucks are in charge up 3-1 and seem headed to the next round — this is the most clear cut, and still maybe the most interesting series of the second round. Then there is the back-and-forth series between Philadelphia and Toronto — where Kawhi Leonard has been otherworldly — that seems destined for seven games. Golden State still looks like the better team, but a lot of James Harden and physical play has that series knotted at 2-2. Then there is the entertaining and incredibly even — if a bit of a defense-free zone — series between Portland and Denver, which is also 2-2. Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports break down all the series, plus talk a little Monty Williams and Tyronn Lue.
