The NBA CORNER podcast takes a look at all four conference semifinal series, starting with the clash between the defending champions Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics.
After taking Game 1, the Bucks lost in Game 2 where Boston’s defense showed signs of adjustments, in addition to a newfound marksmanship. Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates have however managed to regain the advantage of the field, and will do everything not to bow to their home crowd in the next two matches.
In Dallas, the Mavericks will try not to sink after two defeats on the floor of the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors went for a victory in Memphis and find the Chase Center for the next two meetings, where they hope to make the break. But watch out for Ja Morant, the brilliant Grizzlies point guard who no one seems able to stop.
Finally, the Sixers could see any hopes of qualifying evaporate if Joel Embiid does not return against the Heat in Game 3 at home, in a series where they are trailing 2-0.
