2025 NFL Draft Grades & NBA Playoff Chaos: Celtics Surge, Lakers Collapse & Giannis' Next Team?

In this jam-packed episode of Missing the Point, hosts Dave Clarke, Rayshawn Buchanan, and Bob Kelly dive into two of the biggest stories in sports right now: the 2025 NFL Draft and the high-stakes NBA Playoffs. We deliver a full breakdown of the New England Patriots’ strong draft strategy, including the selection of offensive tackle Will Campbell, along with analysis of the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, and more. From team needs to best available talent, we cover all the key picks and assign grades with zero fluff.

Then we shift to the NBA Playoffs, where the Boston Celtics have taken control after eliminating the Orlando Magic. Jason Tatum’s superstar leap takes center stage, while we question Sam Hauser’s playoff impact and discuss Joe Mazzulla’s evolution as a coach. In the West, we analyze the Lakers' struggles (pre-elimination), assess the Timberwolves’ physicality, and ask whether Anthony Edwards has arrived as a top-tier star. Is Jamal Murray’s resurgence enough for Denver? Is James Harden dragging the Clippers down? And has Giannis played his final game in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform?

We also debate potential trades, coaching failures, and what's next for teams like the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat.
