Should the Boston Celtics be concerned with their 101-89 Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of their 2022 NBA playoffs series with the defending champions? Initially seen as favorites after seizing the upper seed at the end of the 2021-22 regular season, then sweeping the preseason title favorites in the first round in the Brooklyn Nets, the Celtics were defeated convincingly in the first game of their East semis series with the Bucks due to physical defense and cold shooting.

How much concern should Boston have about their chances to advance to the 2022 Eastern Conference finals after dropping the first installment of their series with Milwaukee?

The hosts of the WEEI sports radio show “Felger and Mazz” Mike Felger, Tony Massarotti, and Jim Murray discussed the panic meter for the Celtics on a recent episode after the unexpectedly stout response from the Bucks threw Boston for a loop.
