The 2025 NBA Playoffs are reaching a boiling point, and in this episode of The Crossover, we break down everything from the Knicks vs Celtics Game 6 showdown at Madison Square Garden to Jalen Brunson’s rise as the NBA’s most clutch player. With Jayson Tatum sidelined, the Celtics face elimination, and we debate whether Jaylen Brown can carry Boston into a Game 7. Former NBA player Keyon Dooling and legendary coach Sergio Rouco deliver sharp analysis on how injuries, defense, and playoff pressure are shifting the Eastern Conference landscape. We also dive into why the Indiana Pacers, led by Tyrese Haliburton, may be the sleeper threat no one's talking about.Out West, the Anthony Edwards takeover is real. The Minnesota Timberwolves are steamrolling, and Edwards’ two-way dominance is rewriting the narrative around the Western Conference. We analyze Rudy Gobert’s defensive impact, the Timberwolves' championship potential, and why Denver’s Nikola Jokic might be running on empty. With OKC, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Chet Holmgren in the mix, we debate who truly has the edge to come out of the West. The discussion also covers Golden State’s fading dynasty, Jonathan Kuminga’s future, and whether Steph Curry and Draymond Green still have a title run left in them.To close, we react to explosive reports hinting at LeBron James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Could a third run in Cleveland be on the horizon? And what does it mean for Bronny James and the Lakers’ future? We also cover the Dallas Mavericks winning the NBA Draft Lottery and whether Cooper Flagg should be the #1 overall pick. Plus, we spotlight the evolution of South Florida basketball, the next generation of hoopers, and how Miami has become a breeding ground for elite talent.
