How far apart are the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks as contenders?

In a highly anticipated showdown between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics, the two top teams in the Eastern Conference in terms of their records at the time, the debate rages on about the true gap between them as contenders.  Despite the Bucks’ recent five-game winning streak and tying with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the longest active win streak in the NBA, their standing in comparison to the Celtics, fresh off a pair of six-game winning streaks, is up for debate.

NBA analyst Brian Windhorst acknowledged the Bucks’ progress to Kendrick Perkins and Chiney Ogwumike on a recent episode of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown” but emphasized the need to evaluate them in the context of the Celtics’ exceptional performance this season.

To hear their discussion on the matter in full, take a look at the clip embedded below.
