How Concerned Should the Knicks and Nuggets Be? + Raptors Get Must-Win | ALL NBA PODCAST

Adam Mares and Jason Timpf break down the biggest NBA playoff storylines, starting with the Atlanta Hawks emerging as the best story of Round 1 and CJ McCollum’s dominant play. They dive into how athleticism is shaping the postseason, the challenge Jalen Brunson faces scoring against strong defenders, and how the Hawks are targeting him in actions, while also questioning the Knicks’ flexibility and long-standing issues, and Jonathan Kuminga’s impact. They then discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves’ dominant win over the Denver Nuggets, and what’s going wrong for Nikola Jokic, including struggles defending at the rim and concerns about Aaron Gordon’s health, and Anthony Edwards’ intriguing series. They wrap with thoughts on the Toronto Raptors bouncing back against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A must-watch for NBA fans tracking playoff matchups, adjustments, and the biggest performances of the postseason.   00:00 - Intro 01:46 Hawks are the best story of Round 1 03:55 CJ has been balling out 09:10 Athleticism is so important in the playoffs 12:30 Brunson has to find a way to score on NAW 16:47 Hawks have been good at getting Brunson into actions 19:08 Are the Knicks capable of being flexible? 22:10 Knicks have had the same issues for years 24:34 Kuminga has had a huge impact 35:56 Wolves beat down Nuggets 43:49 Jokic can’t stop athletic players at the rim 44:45 Aaron Gordon’s health 49:49 Anthony Edwards interesting series 55:44 Jokic is having his worst series ever 1:00:35 Raptors bounce back vs. Cavs   FOLLOW ALL NBA Twitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBA Instagram:   / allcity_nba   TikTok :   / allcity_nba   An ALLCITY Network Production All music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify!
