There are precisely zero teams that enjoy guarding Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo given the brutal beating anyone picking him up at the point of attack will receive.
But among the clubs equipped to absorb the relentless attacks of the Greek Freak on a game-to-game basis, the Boston Celtics might be the best at slowing one of the NBA’s least containable forces on the court. Does that bode well for Boston’s postseason hopes given the Bucks will almost certainly be a team the Celtics need to beat to get back to the finals?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast recently got into this topic on an episode with famed Boston beat writer Steve Bulpett of Heavy.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about how the Celtics’ skill at slowing Giannis could impact their playoffs.
