The Knicks Have No Excuses, Celtics Collapse & Nuggets Window Closes | Bomani Jones

Bomani Jones reacts to a wild NBA playoff weekend as the Celtics’ season ends, the Nuggets’ championship window gets a lot more complicated, and the New York Knicks suddenly have no excuse not to win the East. Bo breaks down why Boston may no longer be the same team that won the title, what Jayson Tatum’s injury means for the Celtics going forward, and why the margins have gotten so tight for recent NBA champions. Then, he looks at Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ playoff exit, and why the backlash to Denver says as much about NBA discourse as it does about Jokic himself. Plus, Bomani explains why the Knicks should now be viewed as the favorite in the East, why Madison Square Garden is facing its biggest basketball pressure in decades, and why New York fans are right to expect this team to get it done. 0:00 Intro 0:57 Celtics’ season ends in ugly fashion 3:34 Did Boston’s title window close? 5:33 Joel Embiid gets it done through injury 6:35 Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers’ future 7:06 What happens to Jayson Tatum now? 8:48 Jaylen Brown’s awkward postgame comments 9:34 Joe Mazzulla and Boston’s rigid system 10:34 The Celtics weren’t the same team 15:26 The Jokic backlash wasn’t really about Jokic 22:32 The Knicks have no excuse now 23:39 Why New York should be favored in the East 25:36 The Knicks finally face real pressure 32:40 The Wire vs. The Sopranos debate He also discusses his viral clip discussing The Wire vs. The Sopranos, the return of Verzuz and takes more of your voicemails!

NBA Autopsy: Why The Celtics, Nuggets, and Rockets All Failed

The 2026 NBA Playoffs have been a reality check unlike any other. Cal Lee and Warren Shaw are hitting the lab for a special "Autopsy Report" edition of The Baseline, dissecting the shocking first-round exits of the Boston Celtics, the Denver Nuggets, & the Houston Rockets. All three teams entered the postseason as favorites, and all three are heading home early. We’re breaking down: The Boston Celtics: Is Joe Mazzulla’s "dogged" three-point obsession a fatal flaw? We look at the identity crisis that led to a Game 7 collapse against Philly. The Denver Nuggets: Are the defending champs frauds, or just outgunned? We discuss the lack of depth behind Jokic and the "egregious" loss to Minnesota. The Houston Rockets: The KD experiment faced a harsh reality. Was the season lost at the trade deadline, and where does Ime Udoka go from here?. This isn't just hindsight—it’s a deep dive into roster construction, coaching stubbornness, and why these "upper echelon" teams couldn't counter when it mattered most.
