With just 14 games left in the 2023-2024 NBA regular season, does it get much more consequential for the Milwaukee Bucks than this Wednesday’s showdown against the Boston Celtics?
Well, this game against the Celtics and the one they have scheduled in early April.
What is at stake has nothing at all to do with seeding — Boston will be the East’s first overall seed this playoffs; at most, the result would impact Milwaukee’s race with Cleveland for number two. Instead, it is more about setting a tone. Preferably, a tone different from the one that seems to see the Bucks starting every game against Boston behind the spiritual/morale eight ball.
