I wouldn’t call the Celtics exactly “depleted”. Tatum, Brown, Horford... that’s still high end talent. Morris and Rozier are solid role players. And Stevens is a great coach. Bucks have Giannis and really not a whole lot more.

Predictions for the Cavs - Pacers game tonight?

Surely Lebron will not let his his team go down 0-2 at home....

Jrue Holiday was great again last night. I don't know if he's healthy now or something else but he's back to playing like an all-star.

Middleton and Bledsoe are fine pieces. Brogdon and Parker aren't terrible. I think Thon Maker will be good.

Maker could become really good but he isn't yet. Those other guys aren't bad, but they're not as good as Brown, Tatum, Rozier, and Horford. And Parker has hardly played.

The Bucks don't have a great roster but they have some good players. A top five player and two very good two-way starters (Middleton and Bledsoe) is a good place to start. They also have some decent depth pieces behind them. I think coaching is the biggest issue and it seems like they actually got worse in that area when they fired Kidd, which didn't seem possible at the time because of how bad he was.

Oh I think the Bucks have some good pieces to build on, but right now, as their rosters are presently constituted, I'd definitely take the Celtics roster in a playoff series. My original point being, the Celtics roster is hardly "depleted".

Bucks should have never fired Kidd. Giannis is still great, but he has not played as well under Prutny.
You're comparing trash to trash. They would have a trash coach either way and still be getting beaten/outcoached.

They should try and push for a meeting with Budenholzer if they can.
