Butler/NBAE via Getty ImagesWednesday night, the Boston Celtics will go to battle with the Milwaukee Bucks, the team that unceremoniously knocked them out of the playoffs in the second round last year. Much has changed since then on both sides, but unfortunately for Boston, the one thing that remains the same is the presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“The Greek Freak” is as fearsome on the court as his name is difficult to spell. The reigning MVP is going to provide the sternest defensive test of this young NBA season. Al Horford has left for pastures new, while Aron Baynes is sunning it up in Phoenix, leaving the team short on “Giannis stoppers.”
