Who has the advantage in the 2022 Eastern Conference semifinals series about to take place between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks? The Bucks are the reigning NBA champions with a perennial Most Valuable Player (MVP) candidate in superstar forward Giannis Antetokokounmpo, but the Celtics were by far the best team in the league in 2022 in large part due to their own superstar forward Jayson Tatum making the leap to MVP-level play.
Boston has been keeping an eye on star forward Jaylen Brown’s tight hamstring, but Milwaukee will be without bonafide Celtics killer Khris Middleton for the series with an MCL sprain. Coach Mike Budenholzer has a title under his belt, but got his start with the San Antonio Spurs alongside Boston head coach Ime Udoka, with his former assistant Ben Sullivan now toting a Celtics clipboard in this series.
It’s a close matchup as things currently stand, and the hosts of the ESPN “NBA Today” show recently debated this topic.
