The Celtics' season came to a sad end in Madison Square Garden with a 119-81 defeat at the hands of the Knicks in Game 6. Jaylen Brown tried to bring the fight to New York, but the cavalry just wasn't there with him. It's a sad ending to an incredible run that leads to an offseason full of question marks. Chud and Doug break it all down, look at the future of the organization, and break down the rest of the NBA Playoffs.Follow the show on Twitter/X:@ChuddysCorner@KingChuddy@Doug_Outs@_nickpirainoSHOP OUR STORE at ChuddysCorner.com/storeLeave us a voicemail at ChuddysCorner.comLike, subscribe, and rate the podcast!00:00 Celtics' Disappointing Season Finale03:03 Analyzing the Knicks' Victory05:58 The Impact of Tatum's Injury09:01 Team Dynamics Without Tatum12:00 Porzingis' Performance and Future15:03 Looking Ahead: Offseason Considerations25:16 Evaluating the Celtics' Roster Decisions26:56 Future Plans for the Celtics28:54 Navigating Salary Cap Challenges32:11 Long-Term Strategy for Success35:20 Emotional Aftermath of the Season39:48 Respecting the Competition43:56 Reflections on the Celtics vs. Knicks Matchup45:17 End of an Era: The Celtics' Season Wrap-Up48:36 The Fragility of Championship Aspirations51:39 Al Horford's Future: A Bittersweet Reflection53:44 Looking Ahead: Offseason Speculations56:00 Western Conference Showdown: Nuggets vs. Thunder01:00:05 Pacers vs. Knicks: A Classic Rivalry Revisited01:02:32 The State of the NBA: Parity and Future Prospects

We talked about asking new parents how it's going. What are they supposed to say? Even if it's not going well, you can't say that. The Giants are supposedly opening in Washington and then going to Dallas. Week 3 against the Chiefs at home and then the Chargers. Boomer wants to see Abdul Carter running down Jayden Daniels in week one. Art Stapleton said he can confirm 3 primetime games for the Giants including the home opener against the Chiefs on MNF.

The Yankees lost in Seattle and Aaron Boone got tossed. The Mets beat the Pirates 2-1 as Baty homered. Shawne Merriman loves the Giants pick of Abdul Carter. Trey Hendrickson was asked if he wants to be a Bengal and he's not sure because the contract thing has become personal. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Michael Jordan joining the NBA on NBC. Nobody is sure what he's doing exactly.

Hour 1 The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Cavaliers and await the Knicks/Celtics winner. With Jayson Tatum having Achilles surgery, the expected Cavaliers/Celtics Eastern Conference Finals is impacted, putting pressure on Jaylen Brown.

In Mets news, Baty homered in a win over the Pirates, despite a Vientos error. Bill Belichick clarified Jordon Hudson's lack of connection to UNC football.

WEEI's Justin Turpin joins Jones and Keefe to discuss what's next for the Celtics. Turp thinks Pritchard should start in Tatum's absence. It is only a matter of time before the team starts selling off assets, but it makes sense to keep Porzingis without Tatum.

Mego joins Hart, Fitzy, and Ted to preview game 5. The team needs to move on quick from Tatum's injury. Porzingis needs to step up, if the Celtics win tonight anything can happen.

Has the championship window closed for the Celtics? Porzingis and other role players need to step up for the team to have any chance of coming back in this series.

The 121-113 defeat at Madison Square Garden puts the Celtics down 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals—and the injury to Jayson Tatum may have just ended their championship dreams.We dissect every pivotal moment of the game, from Tatum's devastating lower leg injury and what it means for his future in the NBA, to Jaylen Brown's lackluster postseason performance, and Kristaps Porzingis' inability to impact the series. With the Celtics' title hopes hanging by a thread, can they bounce back in Game 5 at TD Garden? Or is this the heartbreaking end to their 2025 playoff run?This episode also dives into Boston's long-term future: potential offseason trades, including whether Jaylen Brown should be moved, how Jrue Holiday and Derrick White fit into the big picture, and the chances of Porzingis being part of the plan going forward.

Sports Kings NBA Playoffs Show Tuesday May 6, 2025 Hosted by MeanGene   Boston vs New York- Knicks lead series 1-0, expect this series to go at least 6 games, possibly 7, huge win for Knicks who trailed by 20 to stage a massive comeback to steal a game in Boston. The Knicks have home court advantage now, Boston can win in NY, but depending on Porzingis, the Knicks can take this series. Despite a lackluster effort by KAT… Minnesota vs Golden State- T Wolves have been waiting on the winner of the Rockets vs Warriors, they host Golden State tonight and will try to prevent what happened to Boston, Cleveland and OKC by winning Game 1 tonight at home. The Warriors needed 7 games to finally put away the Rockets, they are playing great basketball, Steve Kerr is getting to the heart of his rotations, we're seeing Butler, Kuminga, Post , Looney and Moody all having playing time, this will definitely give them an edge over Minnesota who in my opinion doesn't have as deep of a bench, but does have similar size like Houston with Gobert and Naz Reid, they also have a closer that Houston didn't have in Anthony Edwards, so this will be a good series, Twolves made it to the Conference finals last year only to lose to Dallas.
