What are the Boston Celtics’ keys to winning the Eastern Conference semifinals vs. the Milwaukee Bucks?

Can Boston survive and advance?

What is it going to take for the Boston Celtics to beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2022 NBA Eastern Conference playoffs? What are the Celtics’ and Bucks’ respective strengths and weaknesses? With both teams’ second-leading scorers either out injured or monitoring health to prevent injury, this second-round series is one of this year’s most anticipated.

To break down the above and more, NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg and Brian Scalabrine got together on a recent episode of the “Celtics Talk” podcast to talk about the looming Boston-Milwaukee series — and what would need to happen for the Celtics to advance.

The duo covers everything from why the Bucks tend to stink it up in Game 1 to just how big of a blow losing All-Star forward Khris Middleton is for Milwaukee.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear their expectations for the series.
