Celtics vs. Bucks preview Tonight could determine the playoff position of both teams. By AdamTaylorNBA |

Tonight, the Celtics and Bucks will go head-to-head in what could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics come into this game having succumbed to a shocking defeat at the hands of the Washington Wizards, while Milwaukee is on the second night of a back-to-back. As such, each team will have its own personal mountain to climb as they look to gain an advantage over the other.
The last time these two teams met, the Celtics rolled out a bench rotation that ran Milwaukee close, leading some fans to claim a mental victory over a team that is clearly among a small list of genuine contenders in the Eastern Conference.
... Brook Lopez’ defensive ability is heavily reliant on protecting the paint, and should the Celtics find a way to pull him onto the perimeter and put him in action, there will be a solid chance of coming away with a victory. However, as with every contending team, finding ways to exploit their weaknesses is easier said than done.
In previous seasons, the Bucks have been known to dare teams to shoot from deep, placing more of an onus on defending their rim, yet this year, Milwaukee is among the best defensive teams in the NBA, including on the perimeter. As such, the Celtics may be doing well to move away from their heavily perimeter-based offense and look to mix things up more, especially if they can create gaps around the rim to attack off the drive.

Rob Williams - questionable (left knee injury management)? So what, he's now gonna miss games two days apart?
How will Rob get playoff-ready if he's not playing?
We sure will see what this team is made of tonight. I just hope we don't get boat raced.

boat raced
To be beaten very badly at something, especially in such a fashion that you were behind from the start and never had a chance. Comes from the Boat Race, an annual rowing competition between Oxford and Cambridge, in which the first side to get ahead can move to the middle of the river (where the current is fastest) and is almost never overtaken thereafter.
