Milwaukee Bucks Vs Boston Celtics Game Day Preview
It is only day #2 of a shortened NBA season but a pair of Eastern Conference powers will battle it out! It’s the Milwaukee Bucks versus the Boston Celtics in what could be a preview of the conference finals.
Milwaukee Bucks
Great expectations have come for Giannis Antetokoumpo and his max contract extension. The superstar enters season #8 and has his heart set on an NBA Championship.
“I know that I’m working towards that goal,” the 26-year-old said upon the signing of his five-year, $228 million supermax contract last week. “The front office is working towards that goal. So I’m good. I’m happy. I think everybody’s on the same page.”
Antetokounmpo begins his quest in Boston as his squad tries to erase the sting of an earlier-than-expected exit at the NBA bubble last summer.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics find themselves in a familiar situation ahead of their first game of the season.
Shorthanded.
Starting point guard Kemba Walker will miss time after he and the team’s medical staff continue to get his knee strong for the season. And when they do clear him to return, he’ll face a similar minutes restriction to that seen in the NBA bubble.
That means the Celtics will have to compensate for his absence, as well as the void left behind in Gordon Hayward’s departure.
Head coach Brad Stevens will be relying on Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart to help with that, without sacrificing the parts of their game that impact winning.
