In this hour-long episode of VSiN's Money Moves, hosts Stormy Bonantoni and Jonathan Vontobel dive into a packed slate of postseason sports action, beginning with a fiery recap of the NBA and NHL playoffs. The conversation kicks off with a lighthearted Star Wars-themed intro, setting a playful tone before diving into the stunning Boston Celtics' collapse against the Philadelphia 76ers in a Game 7 comeback. The hosts analyze Joel Embiid’s dominant performance and question the overvaluation of Boston as $9 favorites, arguing that the Celtics exceeded expectations despite roster limitations. They also praise Joe Mazzula’s coaching, dismissing calls for his firing. The NHL segment features EJ Raddick of NHL Network, who highlights the Anaheim Ducks’ surprising first-round upset over the Edmonton Oilers as the biggest shock of the playoffs. Raddick also previews the Buffalo-Montreal and Carolina-Philadelphia series, emphasizing defensive adjustments and goaltending as key factors. Later, the hosts discuss injury updates, including Tarek Skubal’s elbow surgery, and break down betting angles for the NBA’s second-round matchups, advocating for value in Minnesota’s series with San Antonio due to Anthony Edwards’ expected return. They also explore underdog potential in the Vegas-Anaheim matchup, despite Vegas’s heavy favorite status.

The Boston Celtics were overvalued as $9 favorites despite exceeding expectations and having a depleted roster.
