Can Tatum and the Celtics knock off the reigning champs?
While the Bucks are the reigning champs, this year is going to be a lot harder. Khris Middleton, who was huge for the Bucks last year is out for this series so now they are losing their second option, putting a lot more pressure on Giannis. While Giannis is capable of stepping up he may not be enough to stop this Celtics team. The Celtics just swept KD's Brooklyn Nets who were the preseason favorites to win the championship. Also, the Celtics are one of my favorites this playoffs simply because their core group of guys has been together for years. Due to this, they have some of the best chemistry in the league which helped them become the league's #1 ranked defense. Also, Jayson Tatum is on a mission. During these playoffs, he cemented himself as a top-tier player in this league. I think this series will be close but because of the Bucks being short-handed and the way Jayson Tatum has been as of late I have the Celtics winning in 6 or 7.
