The Boston Celtics looked like two very different teams in Games 1 and 2 of their second-round series with the Milwaukee Bucks, first getting blown out by the Bucks and then blowing out Milwaukee in return. What impressions can we take away from this series given how disparate the first two games were from one another, and what can we expect to see from both teams moving forward?
How will the health of Marcus Smart’s thigh contusion and Jaylen Brown’s hamstring tightness affect the series? What can the Bucks do in order to adjust to Boston’s single-man coverage of Giannis Antetokounmpo? Will the Celtics keep firing away from beyond the arc at historic rates, or will they look to score in other ways?
On this episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, we enlisted the help of NBC Sports Boston’s Max Lederman to get our bearings on a very closely matched Eastern Conference semifinals series.
