Are the Boston Celtics the biggest threat to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2022 NBA Playoffs?

The Boston Celtics were 2 minutes and 27 seconds away from beating the mighty Milwaukee Bucks on their own home floor with a nearly fully healthy roster despite the Celtics being down 3 starters and a rotation player Thursday night, and it was not the sort of night when you can tell 2022 MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo was keeping a little of his game in the tank to save it for the playoffs.

What does that say about Boston’s postseason potential? And the possibility of defeating the reigning NBA champs in a 7-game series should the two teams cross paths in the Eastern Conference playoffs?

The hosts of the ESPN “NBA Today” show debated exactly this question after the Celtics came just a few minutes short and one offensive run shy of an upset win over Milwaukee in their penultimate game of the year.

Watch the clip embedded above to hear what the foursome had to say about Boston’s threat potential for the Bucks in the 2022 NBA Playoffs.
