After a disastrous Game 1, will the Milwaukee Bucks make major adjustments for Game 2 against the Boston Celtics, and what might they be?

After a brutally disappointing showing in Game 1 of their second round series with the Boston Celtics, on Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks will face what could arguably be the franchise’s most important game since they lost Game 7 of the Conference Finals back in 2001.

Not only do the Bucks need a significant response to fuel their own confidence and seed some doubts in the Celtics’ minds, but in very simple terms they can ill afford to head to Boston trailing 0-2.

A split from the series’ first two games would not have been the goal for Mike Budenholzer and his coaching staff, but it seems safe to assume they’d gladly accept that fate now.

In looking to deliver that all-important win, what can we expect to be Milwaukee’s approach, though. Is wholesale change on the horizon, or will the Bucks simply opt to trust in themselves?

According to the rumblings that have emerged from the locker room since Game 1, the answer is going to lean much closer to the latter.

Still, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if the Bucks did explore making some adjustments, even if they weren’t going to completely overhaul the general approach to the series or the core philosophies that have brought them to this point.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at three changes that could be options for Coach Bud and the Bucks ahead of Game 2.
