The Bucks are the biggest hurdle in the eastern conference.
This win gives us an idea that it's not far-fetched to think the Celts will be in the eastern conference finals in May.
man an ECF against the bucks would be a brutally tough series
probably pretty entertaining
True.
But for the Celts to be able to beat the Bucks 4 times, I think the Celts must upgrade.
We don't need a big man like Kevin Love or Blake Griffin.
Celts already have lots of offense.
What the Celts need is a big who's more of a defensive force.
Curious what you saw tonight that makes you think that?
Bucks bigs didn't give us much problem down low, as they don't with other teams either since they are stretch bigs. If anything, we need athletic bigs that can contest their 3s.
We held Giannis to 22 points. While that might not be the norm every time we play them, I think Semi and Marcus are good defenders to throw at him and Grant Williams might become viable in that scenario as well. I also think the NBA's new emphasis on offensive foul calls could hurt Giannis' effectiveness and can be used to gameplan against him with what we currently have.
