Looking for the latest sports news? Tune in to Missing the Point, the podcast where we analyze the biggest headlines and provide in-depth insights into the stories that matter. In this episode, host Michael Marcangelo, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan discuss the Boston Bruins' shocking elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Boston Celtics' disappointing loss in game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Bruins had a historic regular season, winning a record-breaking 65 games and scoring 135 points, but their hopes were dashed when they lost three straight games to the Florida Panthers at home. We examine whether this is one of the biggest choke jobs in Boston sports history and explore the Bruins' history of losing in critical situations. We also take a look at the team's future, including the potential retirements of key players.
Moving on to the Celtics, we analyze their lackluster performance in game one against the Joel Embiid-less 76ers. Despite shooting lights out on offense, hitting 58.7% of their shots, the Celtics played little-to-no defense and made no adjustments as James Harden heated up. We'll break down the game's pivotal moments and discuss what the Celtics need to do differently in game two to come out on top.
