The NBA playoffs have gone completely off the rails. Three teams down 3-1 have forced game sevens. A 24-point halftime lead disappeared inside 24 minutes. The Nuggets got bounced without Anthony Edwards, DiVincenzo, or Ayo Dosunmu even on the floor. And Cade Cunningham looked like the best player on any court in the fourth quarter when it mattered most.

Mo Mooncey and coach Brendan Suhr break down the most chaotic 48 hours of playoff basketball in years. From Karl-Anthony Towns emerging as a point center to Jaden McDaniels calling out Jokic and Murray by name before delivering a 30-piece, to Denver staring down a cap situation with no obvious way out - this episode covers everything you need to know heading into three massive game sevens.

Listen or watch as they go deep on why Denver is in trouble long after this series ends, where Paolo Banchero's 4-of-20 night leaves the Magic, and whether the Celtics can actually trust themselves in a home game seven.
