Boos, Blowouts & Breakouts: First-Round NBA Playoff Drama RecappedThe NBA playoffs never disappoint, and the first round of the 2025 postseason has already delivered jaw-dropping moments, unexpected upsets, and standout performances. In the latest episode of Off the Screen, hosts Michael, Sid, and Alejandro break down the chaos, starting with a personal story from the stands.Sid kicks things off by recounting his first-ever live playoff experience—unfortunately, it was Game 4 of Heat vs. Cavs, where Miami trailed by 40 points at halftime. The crowd was booing, the turnovers piled up, and the team seemed to unravel on the floor. A harsh welcome to playoff basketball, to say the least.The spotlight then shifts to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who stunned fans by sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies. Even with Ja Morant sidelined early, OKC leaned on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 38-point explosion and an unexpected surge from Scottie Pippen Jr. The Thunder's depth and chemistry make them an emerging force in the West.Over in the East, Boston took care of Orlando in five games—but not without controversy. The hosts questioned the Magic's physicality, which led to multiple Celtics injuries and some suspect flagrant calls. Coach Joe Mazzulla kept his cool, but the rising intensity of playoff basketball was fully displayed.Finally, the crew discusses Indiana's shocking upset of the Milwaukee Bucks. With Damian Lillard injured and Giannis left to carry the team, the Pacers took over behind Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner. Gary Trent Jr. was a rare bright spot for Milwaukee, dropping 37 in Game 5, while the odd ejection of Haliburton's father from the arena added a bizarre twist.With round one over, the hosts are watching the Thunder and Cavs as potential breakout teams in the next round. Stay tuned—things are just heating up.

Ask your Fantasy Questions here!As the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs is underway, the season long awards have begun to be announced. We just saw Boston's own, Payton Pritchard win the 6th Man of the Year and Evan Mobley recognized for Defensive Player of the Year. The MVP award is certainly up for debate with SGA dominating all season long, giving OKC a 1 seed in the West and the best record in the league. Nikola Jokic, multi MVP winner, on the other hand may have had his best season to date averaging 30 points and a triple double.

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the crew. 0:35 ... Episode #154 is dedicated to Sandro Mamukelashvili, who was drafted #54 in the 2021 NBA Draft 1:19 ... Knicks/Pistons discussion which includes a breakdown of the controversial "non call" at the end of game 4 which may have cost the Pistons the series. 3:25 ... Bruce feels like the Pistons should get every 50/50 call in game 5 to try and make up for the non-call in game 4 and he also was super impressed with Jalen Brunson's 4th quarter performance in game 4.  World B has massive praise for Karl-Anthony Towns. 7:50 ... Celtics/Magic discussion which includes Bruce's feelings that Orlando's toughness really tested Boston and helped prepare them for their upcoming series by forcing them to find ways to score other than with 3 point shooting.  World B feels like the Magic have played really well but lack the offensive firepower to defeat Boston. 11:47 ... Bruce asks Ross and World B if the Knicks have the type of personnel to play Boston the way Orlando has.  Ross and World B differ in their responses. 14:36 ... Bucks/Pacers discussion ... the big story is that Damian Lillard tore his achilles tendon on Sunday and will likely miss most of next season.  Bruce is worried that Giannis Antetokounmpo will ask to be traded now that Lillard is on the shelf and suggests that Oklahoma City has the assets needed to make the Bucks a solid offer for Giannis and that Milwaukee should be on the phone pursuing a deal.  World B feels like the Pacers are really clicking and are back to their hot January form.  Ross credits the Pacers defense for their success. 19:38 ... Lakers/Timberwolves discussion ... World B feels like LeBron James and Luka Doncic may have what it takes to win 3 straight games and dig themselves out of a 3-1 deficit, but the Timberwolves are playing like a team that can handle their business and move on.  Bruce felt that the Lakers were worn down by the Wolves in Sunday's 4th quarter as LA coach JJ Redick used just 5 players in the final quarter.  Bruce praised Naz Reid's work and nicknamed him "Nuclear Naz" because of his explosive play.  Ross with an amazing fact about Redick's historic "non use" of his bench in the second half of Sunday's game. 24:45 ... Clippers/Nuggets discussion ... Aaron Gordon's dunk on Saturday will go down in Nuggets lore and will be talked about forever, but the guys were also impressed by the way Gordon stood up for his teammate Christian Braun when the Clippers took exception to a foul Braun committed just before halftime.  World B feels it has been a great series that will go 7 games and thinks the Clippers can win another road game in Denver. 28:09 ... Bruce wants James Harden to come up with a monster game in game 5, which is something he has never really done in the playoffs. 30:08 ... Bruce asks his co-hosts if Nikola Jokic is now on the very short list of the 5 greatest centers of all-time?  And can he be considered the greatest International player of all-time? 31:13 ... Thunder/Grizzlies discussion ... the guys discuss whether the long layoff that OKC has earned after sweeping Memphis will negatively affect the team at the start of their next series.  Ross feels that Chet Holmgren will benefit the most from a long layoff between series as he'll need to have maximum energy against either Jokic or Ivika Zubac in the next round.  If the Nuggets advance and play OKC, we'll see the top two MVP candidates squaring off with Jokic vs Shai Gilgeous Alexander. 35:22 ... Cavaliers/Heat discussion ... Whatever happened to Heat Culture after being swept by the Cavs and losing game 3 by 37 points and game 4 by 55 points?  Bruce feels like the Heat roster will look a whole lot different next season after the way they flamed out this season.  While the Cavs had it easy against Miami, everyone expects the Cavs to be tested by Indiana in the next round. 44:15 ... Warriors/Rockets discussion ... are the Rockets in trouble trailing 2-1 with game 4 on Monday night?  Everyone agrees that game 4 is a "must win" for Houston.  If Houston  can improve their shooting, they can come back in the series.  But that's a big IF. 48:06 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 48:33

Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu Play-Off'larda ikinci maçların tamamlanmasının ardından mikrofon başına geçiyor. Her zamanki gibi Doğu Konferansı eşleşmelerinin değerlendirilmesiyle başlayan sohbette ilk olarak Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat eşleşmesi konuşuluyor. Cleveland'ın sezon boyunca ortaya koyduğu hücum standartının şimdiye kadar Miami Heat'i ne kadar zorladığı ve Cavaliers'ta Donovan Mitchell'ın performansının konuşulmasının ardından Jimmy Butler'ın ayrılığı sonrası nasıl bir Play-Off geçireceği merak edilen Heat'te Tyler Herro ve Davion Mitchell'ın takıma kattıkları mercek altına alınıyor. Ardından Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Magic'in Franz Wagner ve Paolo Banchero haricinde hücumda eksiklik hissetmesi ve skor üretememesinin Boston açısından işleri nasıl kolaylaştırdığı, serinin ikinci maçında Jason Tatum'un yokluğunda Jaylen Brown'un performansı ve iki takım arasındaki kadro kalitesinin incelenmeisnin ardından Konferansın "old school" eşleşmesi olan New York Knicks-Detroit Pistons eşleşmesine geçiliyor. Pistons'ta Malik Beasley ve Dennis Schröder'in performanslarının Cade Cunningham'i rahatlatması, New York Knicks'in kısıtlı rotasyonla oynaması ve ikinci maçtaki zayıf hücum performansının konuşulmasıyla birlikte Doğu Konferansı'nın son eşleşmesi olan Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks eşleşmesi masaya yatırılıyor. Indiana'da özellikle Andrew Nembhard'ın kendinden emin oyun karakterinin Tyrese Haliburton'ın yaratıcılığıyla birleşmesinin, Damian Lillard'ın yokluğunda Bucks'a adeta tek başına liderlik etmek durumunda kalan Giannis Antetokounmpo'yu nasıl etkilediği konuşulan konular arasında.    Ardından Batı Konferansı değerlendirmelerine geçiliyor. Oklahoma City Thunder ve Memphis Grizzlies eşleşmesinde, Grizzlies'in son Play-In maçından 36 saat sonra Thunder deplasmanına çıkmasındaki şanssızlık ve takımlar arasındaki kalite farkının üstünde duruluyor. Scottie Pippen Jr'ın Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'a yönelik savunmasının övgüleri toplamasının ardından Houston Rockets-Golden State Warriors eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Warriors'ta özellike Jimmy Butler'ın sakatlığının ikinci maçın kaybedilmesindeki nedenlerden biri olduğu, ilk maçta beklenti altında kalan Jalen Green'in ikinci maçta iyi bir performans göstermesi ve Rockets'ta henüz istenen katkılı veremeyen Fred Van Vleet ve Amen Thompson'ın performanslarının maçlar üzerindeki etkisi hakkındaki saptamaların ardından Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves eşleşmesi ile devam ediliyor. Jaden McDaniels ve Anthony Edwards'ın performanslarının karşısında Lakers cephesinde Luka Doncic'in performansı, yine Lakers'ın Jaxson Hayes'e seride az süre vermek zorunda olması ve bu eşleşmenin Rockets-Warriors eşleşmesine yönelik benzerliklerinin konuşulmasıyla programın son bölümü şu ana kadarki en heyecanlı eşleşme olarak ön plana çıkan Los Angeles Clippers-Denver Nuggets mücadelesine ayrılıyor. Seride oynanan iki maçın da kaderini son topların belirlemesi, Clippers'ın Harden-Zubac üzerinden kurguladığı Pick&Roll oyununu Kawhi Leonard ile desteklemesi, Denver'da Michael Porter Jr. ve Aaron Gordon'un performansları bu bölümde değerlendiriliyor. İkinci maçta hayal kırıklığına yaratan performansına rağmen maçı triple doube ile maçı bitiren Nikola Jokic ve uzun süre hafızalardan silinmeyecek "Prime" Kawhi Leonard performansı... Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde! 

Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu Play-Off'larda ikinci maçların tamamlanmasının ardından mikrofon başına geçiyor. Her zamanki gibi Doğu Konferansı eşleşmelerinin değerlendirilmesiyle başlayan sohbette ilk olarak Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat eşleşmesi konuşuluyor. Cleveland'ın sezon boyunca ortaya koyduğu hücum standartının şimdiye kadar Miami Heat'i ne kadar zorladığı ve Cavaliers'ta Donovan Mitchell'ın performansının konuşulmasının ardından Jimmy Butler'ın ayrılığı sonrası nasıl bir Play-Off geçireceği merak edilen Heat'te Tyler Herro ve Davion Mitchell'ın takıma kattıkları mercek altına alınıyor. Ardından Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Magic'in Franz Wagner ve Paolo Banchero haricinde hücumda eksiklik hissetmesi ve skor üretememesinin Boston açısından işleri nasıl kolaylaştırdığı, serinin ikinci maçında Jason Tatum'un yokluğunda Jaylen Brown'un performansı ve iki takım arasındaki kadro kalitesinin incelenmeisnin ardından Konferansın "old school" eşleşmesi olan New York Knicks-Detroit Pistons eşleşmesine geçiliyor. Pistons'ta Malik Beasley ve Dennis Schröder'in performanslarının Cade Cunningham'i rahatlatması, New York Knicks'in kısıtlı rotasyonla oynaması ve ikinci maçtaki zayıf hücum performansının konuşulmasıyla birlikte Doğu Konferansı'nın son eşleşmesi olan Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks eşleşmesi masaya yatırılıyor. Indiana'da özellikle Andrew Nembhard'ın kendinden emin oyun karakterinin Tyrese Haliburton'ın yaratıcılığıyla birleşmesinin, Damian Lillard'ın yokluğunda Bucks'a adeta tek başına liderlik etmek durumunda kalan Giannis Antetokounmpo'yu nasıl etkilediği konuşulan konular arasında. Ardından Batı Konferansı değerlendirmelerine geçiliyor. Oklahoma City Thunder ve Memphis Grizzlies eşleşmesinde, Grizzlies'in son Play-In maçından 36 saat sonra Thunder deplasmanına çıkmasındaki şanssızlık ve takımlar arasındaki kalite farkının üstünde duruluyor. Scottie Pippen Jr'ın Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'a yönelik savunmasının övgüleri toplamasının ardından Houston Rockets-Golden State Warriors eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Warriors'ta özellike Jimmy Butler'ın sakatlığının ikinci maçın kaybedilmesindeki nedenlerden biri olduğu, ilk maçta beklenti altında kalan Jalen Green'in ikinci maçta iyi bir performans göstermesi ve Rockets'ta henüz istenen katkılı veremeyen Fred Van Vleet ve Amen Thompson'ın performanslarının maçlar üzerindeki etkisi hakkındaki saptamaların ardından Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves eşleşmesi ile devam ediliyor. Jaden McDaniels ve Anthony Edwards'ın performanslarının karşısında Lakers cephesinde Luka Doncic'in performansı, yine Lakers'ın Jaxson Hayes'e seride az süre vermek zorunda olması ve bu eşleşmenin Rockets-Warriors eşleşmesine yönelik benzerliklerinin konuşulmasıyla programın son bölümü şu ana kadarki en heyecanlı eşleşme olarak ön plana çıkan Los Angeles Clippers-Denver Nuggets mücadelesine ayrılıyor. Seride oynanan iki maçın da kaderini son topların belirlemesi, Clippers'ın Harden-Zubac üzerinden kurguladığı Pick&Roll oyununu Kawhi Leonard ile desteklemesi, Denver'da Michael Porter Jr. ve Aaron Gordon'un performansları bu bölümde değerlendiriliyor. İkinci maçta hayal kırıklığına yaratan performansına rağmen maçı triple doube ile maçı bitiren Nikola Jokic ve uzun süre hafızalardan silinmeyecek "Prime" Kawhi Leonard performansı... Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde!

Our best Diehard deal! Just $3 A Month https://www.gophnx.com/intro-offer-youtube The Phoenix Suns have “strong” interest in former Golden State executive Bob Myers, according to DLLs' Marc Stein in his substack. Is this the right move? Would Myers even want to leave his cushy ESPN analyst job to take a position in Phoenix? The Phoenix Suns have been the laughing stock of the NBA ever since they missed the play-in despite their lofty preseason expectations centered around new coach Mike Budenholzer revamping Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Of course, Bud is now fired, KD is expected to be traded and Bradley Beal is widely considered one of, if not the, worst contract in the association. Even though the Suns had one of the worst seasons in NBA history, with the highest payroll in league history, The Athletic's player poll still had Phoenix as one of the better run organizations around. Why would players still feel this way? How can Mat Ishbia continue to attack free agents this summer? Erik, Gerald and Stephen give their reasons why players would still want to find themselves in Arizona. They also look at the rest of the player poll, including their opinions of Budenhozler and Beal, which was not favorable. Then it's time to look at where the Suns original draft pick ended up after the tiebreakers from the NBA went through earlier this week. Seth Davis, of Hoops HQ, joins the show to preview the 2025 NBA draft, and who the Suns could target with the 29th and 52nd pick. He also recounts his thoughts on current rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro, and speaks on the importance of playing for the right program. Finally, the crew dives into last night's NBA playoff action that saw the Indiana Pacers go up 2-0 on Giannis antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks, Oklahoma City Thunder and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continue their dominance over the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant and the Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James and Luka Doncic, fight back against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves to tie their first round series at one win a piece. They also preview the slate of games tonight where the Orlando Magic take on the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat face the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors look to take a 2-0 lead of the Houston Rockets.
