5 Opponents we'd like to see the Milwaukee Bucks open the 2024-25 season against
By Dalton Sell
Boston Celtics
Many would argue that when healthy, the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Well, in that case, it would make sense to put them up against one another straight away, promising a good show to kick things off, as these two teams always deliver NBA fans something special whenever they duel.
Boston is coming off a title-winning campaign, which featured former Buck Jrue Holiday winning his second ring. The media and outside fans have made the Bucks' decision to move on from Holiday far more than what it actually is, especially because they didn't trade him there, but there's no doubt that it does add some fuel to the already burning fire that is the matchup between these two teams.
Narratives and storylines aside, both teams boast plenty of star power and role players that make them two heavyweights. Stars like Antetokounmpo, Lillard, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown lead the way, but others such as Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Derick White, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Gary Trent Jr. will also do their part to make these matchups exciting.
It would be a great test right out of the gate for both Milwaukee and Boston.
