Boston Celtics add Malcolm Brogdon, Danilo Gallinari in big moves to boost bench - Missing the Point Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Youtube Version: https://youtu.be/xYE7nK2rV9g
On the first day of NBA Free Agency, the Boston Celtics President of basketball operations, Brad Stevens made some significant moves to improve the Celtics' primary area of weakness during the NBA Finals vs the Golden State Warriors, the bench.
Within the first few hours of free agency, Stevens added All-Star point guard Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari to bolster the Celtics' thin bench.
Will these moves be enough to finally help the Celtics win an NBA Championship? Can the Celtics co-exist with two all-star caliber point guards on their roster in Brogdon and Marcus Smart? Will these moves for Al Horford to the bench in fear of being too big in an ever-shrinking NBA small court?
AND WILL WE EVER BE BLESSED ENOUGH TO GO A SHOW WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT KYRIE IRVING, KEVIN DURANT, AND THE BROOKLYN NETS?!

Boston Celtics and NBA Free Agency Primer - Stop Disrespecting Jaylen Brown - Missing the Point Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Youtube Version: https://youtu.be/CozfHX4z1R8
With the pain of the 2022 NBA Finals, and The 2022 NBA Draft now behind us, it's time for us and the Boston Celtics to look forward to the NBA free agency period and find ways they can improve the Celtics roster heading into the 2022 season.
Can the Celtics' second-round pick out of Alabama, JD Davison, contribute in year one, and will Aaron Nesmith finally live up to his potential from Vanderbilt?
Marcus Smart claimed that he was the one that led the Boston Celtics to the NBA Finals...but is he really that guy?
And what's with all the disrespect shown to Jaylen Brown, with the rumors that the Celtics might look to add another star player like Kevin Durant or Bradley Beal to the Team?

The NeverEnding (Trevor) Story: Why can't the Red Sox get pitchers like Martin Perez? - Missing the Point Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

Youtube Version: https://youtu.be/Mke_4NuzqkQ
The Boston Red Sox have turned their season around since we last talked about them here on The 617, going from a bottom-dwelling team that was once 9 games under .500, to having one of the hottest months in baseball this season after a successful West Coast road trip.
But, that's not to say the Red Sox are perfect or the team has sudden World Series-winning potential. The bullpen is still abhorrent, the starting pitching depth has been tested thoroughly, and there are still major questions surrounding the contract situation of the Boston Red Sox's biggest homegrown talent in Xander Bogaerts, and Rafael Devers.
After nearly 70 games into the 2022 MLB Season, Ray and Bob will take a look into the Red Sox season, and see where they have shined, from Trevor Story's show of power and elite fielding, and Nick Pivetta and Michael Wacha's exceptional starting pitching, to where the problems remain, from offense at first base and trying to figure out what to do with the bullpen.

Boston Celtics turnover problems continue, Steph Curry and the Warrior tie NBA finals at 2-2 - Missing the Point Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

In a familiar theme for the Boston Celtics during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, turnovers, rebounding and bad shot selections have put them in a position of strength, potentially being up 3 games to 1 to the Golden State Warriors, to the Series being tied 2-2 as we head back to the Chase Center for Game 5.
In this episode, Mike and Bobby will break down the loss on Friday, and how sloppy shot selection by Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum's continued turnover problem, and the Celtics' overall inability to rebound cost them the chance to take a stranglehold on the NBA Title and Banner 18, and how Steph Curry could single-handedly win Golden State another NBA title.

Boston Celtics big 4th quarter puts them two wins away from NBA Championship & Banner 18 - Missing the Point Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

In their first home game in the NBA Finals since 2010, the Boston Celtics looked dominant out of the gate, but a typical bad third quarter allowed the Golden State Warriors to make things interesting after halftime. However, unlike in game 2, the Celtics channeled the energy from the TD Garden into a dominant fourth quarter from Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart, and took Game 4 of the NBA Finals 116-100.
We'll discuss how big Robert Williams was in Game 4, perhaps the biggest game of Time Lord's young career, and how small Draymond Green looked with his on-court and off-court antics.
