Remember this scene in Game of Death when Bruce Lee is advancing up the temple fighting every boss and finally faces Kareem Abdul Jabbar on the third floor?
The Celtics are Bruce Lee and the Bucks are (ironically, former Buck) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Since February 8th, the Bucks have been devastatingly good when they’re on their game. They’re 18-7 since losing Jabari Parker and getting back Kris Middleton on the same night against the Heat. The Celtics have been 16-8 during that same stretch. The Celtics had beaten the Bucks once before back in late January without Avery Bradley and Al Horford, but the loss on Wednesday in the Garden with the team at full strength should be a wake up call, especially if the Celtics face the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs.
