After the Knicks defeated the Celtics yet again in the Eastern Conference semifinals, NBA on TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal made a very clever joke. New York (2-0) took a commanding series lead over Boston despite playing both of the first two games on the road to start the second round. The Celtics have shown no ability to hold on to a big lead against the Knicks as Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla's squad continues to rely on their perimeter shooting in these matchups.

As they continue to have huge wins in the NBA playoffs, a few players on the New York Knicks can reflect on their own postseason NCAA experience. New York stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges (much to the delight of their former head coach Jay Wright) all played together for Villanova Men's Basketball in college. The Knicks had a fourth (Donte DiVincenzo) and fifth (Ryan Arcidiacono) from that squad on their roster as well, though all five never played in the NBA at the same time.

The second round of the 2025 NBA postseason has had nothing but surprises and comebacks thus far, which has led for plenty of exciting moments. After four games, we have had four consecutive shockers as the road team has somehow managed to win each game. In the East, the Knicks beat the Celtics thanks to some historically bad shooting by the Celtics. Additionally, the Pacers had a comeback win over the Cavaliers after an amazing shot (and celebration) by Tyrese Haliurton.

We are approaching the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago and it is a huge night for every team that still has a chance to get the No. 1 overall pick. The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery is Monday, May 12, at 7 p.m. ET and will broadcast on ESPN. Although we do not yet know which team will win the lottery and have the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, we can assume that whatever team does have luck in their favor will select Duke freshman sensation Cooper Flagg.

Golden State Warriors teammates Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield already have something special developing in the months that they have played together. Hield (who was traded to Golden State last offseason) and Butler (who was acquired by the Warriors at the trade deadline) have only played on the same team since February 8. But over the course of the past few months, they have continued to show fans that they have something intangible: Comedic timing.

Paige Bueckers is a national champion. Here is my interview with the UConn women’s basketball star from earlier this season, in which she talked about her own growth as a collegiate player and what’s next in the WNBA. Such an amazing player and person. https://t.co/hk93grdYKk
I spoke to Dylan Harper, the best prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft who did not make the March Madness tournament. His answer about how he got so good at creating for himself near the rim based on advice from his mom was especially insightful. https://t.co/jrCXOTFNWW
I caught up with Ausar Thompson. #DetroitBasketball 🏀 He would "definitely" do the dunk contest 🏀 He almost pretended to be his twin brother Amen during the Rising Stars Challenge 🏀 He says he is the NBA's best perimeter defender (and he may be!) https://t.co/mSfPHjgLrU
