All things considered, much of the basketball storyline in Boston the past few days has centered on Celtics fans feeling pretty good that their squad drew the Milwaukee Bucks in Round 1.
The general consensus is, the suddenly healthy Washington Wizards would have been a potential disaster, and Erik Spoelstra’s Miami Heat could have schemed the hobbled C’s right out of the playoffs.
However, how should the Bucks be feeling on the flip-side of things. Milwaukee, in dropping to the No. 7 seed, gets to play those injury-plagued Celtics, who are without Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Daniel Theis.
