The Boston Celtics are poised to play the Milwaukee Bucks in one of the marquee games of the 2022-23 NBA season on Christmas Day. Whether you believe it should be the case, many of the narratives surrounding contention odds, the MVP and even All-Star races may be affected by that contest.
But what can we really learn about the state of the East, the cases to take home season-long hardware, and how each team is playing now (and might play in the postseason) based on what we will see on Dec. 25? What should we be watching for. Which players should we focus our attention on as Boston faces Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo as well as other upcoming games?
To get a bead on the state of the Celtics and their peers in the East, the hosts of the Celtics Lab podcast linked up with USA TODAY’s Jeff Zillgitt to discuss the Celtics’ recent play, our expectations for the big national TV game and beyond, and more.
