The NBA Season is rapidly approaching, and analysts are now turning their on-air conversations into prediction shows.
Now is the time for them to reveal how they believe the season will unfold, hoping to be correct in their predictions.
In a recent segment of “First Things First,” Chris Broussard outlined his expectations for the Eastern Conference.
When discussing his top two teams, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics, Broussard said, “I’ve got Milwaukee, slightly.”
Who’s winning the East?
“It’s really 2 teams building differently. Milwaukee is huge — 7-footers that can shoot & defend. Boston is small — they’re saying we’re going to outscore you. I have the Bucks, slightly. Giannis & Dame are incredibly motivated.” — @Chris_Broussard pic.twitter.com/XL2A6b5ZDn

Broussard talked about the Celtics as “small,” but they understand this is a part of their game and culture.
He believes the Celtics will try to win with small ball, hoping to simply outscore their opponents.
When describing the Bucks, Broussard talked about their height as a distinct advantage, given two of their starters are at, or over seven feet tall.
Plus, the Bucks recently added Damian Lillard to their roster, giving a significant boost to their scoring abilities.
As Broussard notes during this segment, oddsmakers are torn on the Celtics and Bucks, giving them the same odds to win the Eastern Conference.
While he believes the Bucks have a slight edge over the Celtics, it was a difficult decision for him to make.
The Celtics acquired Jrue Holiday from the Portland Trail Blazers shortly after he was traded from the Bucks.
Both rosters have taken significant offseason strides to add the best firepower they can, hoping to stand out in a crowded conference.
Who will take home this crown, competing as the Eastern Conference representative in the NBA Finals?
