The Daly Dose of Hoops Podcast returns with another profile of one of the coaches the site will spend more time with this coming season!In preparation for the site's expansion into Philadelphia and the Big 5 this November, host Jaden Daly is joined once again by southern bureau executive editor Brian Wilmer as co-host to welcome Darris Nichols to the podcast.

In this jam-packed episode of Bleav in Celtics, host Courtney Tate breaks down all the biggest offseason developments in Celtics Nation. We open with a major health update on Jaylen Brown, who underwent successful knee surgery. Courtney explores the timeline of his recovery and what it means for Boston's offseason plans. Fans have been concerned, but Jaylen's own cryptic post-surgery selfie hints at an already motivated bounce-back — and we're showing the image on screen for the video version. Next, we pivot to head coach Joe Mazzulla, who's made headlines for his surprise scouting trip to the Euroleague Final Four. What does it mean? Is Boston eyeing European prospects? Courtney unpacks the implications of this overseas venture — whether it's about expanding the staff, player development, or potential hidden gems in the draft pool. Then, things heat up as we dive into the offseason trade rumor mill. Courtney lays out realistic options the Celtics might pursue, especially with nearly every player “on the chopping block — except Tatum.” Soundbites from Joe Mazzulla's recent presser emphasize the team's “no guarantees” mentality. After that, Courtney gets into fan reactions — from worries about Al Horford's future, to praise for Aaron Nesmith's Finals run with the Pacers, to whether Celtics ownership transition could impact roster-building. And of course, we can't close without a HOT TAKE: “The Celtics should strongly consider moving Derrick White — if it means upgrading with size and rebounding.” Courtney brings receipts and context to defend the take — it's controversial, but grounded. The episode closes with a tease for next week, which promises coverage of the upcoming NBA Draft, more on Kristaps Porziņģis' recovery, and trade buzz heating up league-wide.
The 2025 NBA Finals have officially gone off-script — and the Indiana Pacers are the story of the postseason. In this episode of Missing the Point, Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly dive into how Indiana now holds a 2-1 series lead over the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder.We break down Tyrese Haliburton's incredible rise as the unlikely face of the NBA Finals, his clutch game-winners, and whether he's officially entered the top-10 NBA player conversation. Dave and Bob also examine how Rick Carlisle is coaching circles around the competition — drawing parallels to his 2011 Dallas Mavericks run when he shocked the world against LeBron's Heat.Beyond Haliburton, the Pacers' balanced team-first approach is on full display. We spotlight the huge performances from Andrew Nembhard, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam, Benedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, and TJ McConnell — and explain how Indiana's deep bench and unselfish ball movement have become the secret weapon against OKC's youth and athleticism.We also analyze the Oklahoma City Thunder's struggles as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander faces Carlisle's adjustments, Chet Holmgren gets exposed in the post, and Mark Daigneault tries to keep his young roster composed under Finals pressure. Plus, we debate whether OKC's youth and future assets could ironically work against them in this moment.Other topics include:Can Halliburton surpass Reggie Miller as the most important Pacer ever?How Indiana's basketball culture fuels this underdog run.How this NBA Finals compares to historic upsets like the 2011 Mavericks vs Heat.Joe Mazzulla's failures in contrast to Carlisle and Daigneault.Why the NBA Playoffs 2025 may end with one of the biggest Finals shocks in league history.If you're a fan of NBA Finals analysis, NBA Playoffs 2025 coverage, Tyrese Haliburton's rise, Indiana Pacers vs OKC Thunder breakdowns, and NBA history, you don't want to miss this episode.

On the heels of Luke Kornet's monster Game 5 and Joe Mazzulla saying Kristaps Porzingis couldn't breathe, Mego and Turp agree that Luke Kornet is going to have to have more minutes over The Unicorn even if he can't duplicate his sensational performance.
HR 1 - Meghan Ottolini and Justin Turpin are filling in for Arcand to give all their reactions from last night's huge Game 5 win from the Celtics. The issue Mego has though is everyone writing off Jayson Tatum again which we thought after the torn Achilles injury was over. Then, from the actual game, Jaylen Brown stepped up into the role everyone expected from him and the offense looked extremely energized. And, Luke Kornet was the surprise star and with Kristaps Porzingis unable to breathe as Joe Mazzulla stated, Kornet will likely be getting an even bigger role in Game 6.

They start off the show shocked with the New York Knicks completing their second comeback in a row vs the Boston Celtics (0:46) which makes Bo and Vinnie question if Jayson Tatum is that guy (7:19)? Sticking with the Knicks vs Celtics series, they wonder if Joe Mazzulla is limiting Tatum's game (12:57) and why is there no alternative to shooting only 3 pointers (15:53)? Switching to the Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers series, Bo says why the Pacers had to have that game with the Cavs dealing with injuries (37:31) and that Tyrese Haliburton does not miss clutch shots (40:20).
