AM: What are your predictions overall for how both Boston and Milwaukee’s seasons will pan out?
JB: I think both the Bucks and the Celtics are in similar positions.
They surprised a lot of people by making the playoffs last year but it will be a lot more difficult to make it this year. The Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers will be contenders in the east after not being relevant last year and that makes life a lot tougher for the Bucks and the Celtics.
However, I believe that both of them will be competing to make the playoffs and it would not surprise me much to see either of them make it. The only problem is that there may not be enough spots for both of them to make it.
AM: Thanks for your time, Josh! I’m sure we’ll talk to you again during the season.
