Finale

There are eight games left in the 2016-17 regular season for the Milwaukee Bucks. Two of them come against these Boston Celtics. Getting a win against them now would be nice for Milwaukee, both in record and for confidence purposes.

It’s looking more and more likely that the Bucks will be a playoff team come April. As much as results matter, attitude is just as crucial, especially once the postseason begins. If the Bucks crawl into the playoffs, they probably won’t win a series.

On the other hand, if Milwaukee can knock down the Celtics at least once and pick up some other wins in their other seven remaining games, these Bucks just might cause problems for one of the top four teams in the East.
