The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are set to square off in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo and his squad will be without Khris Middleton, they will be going hard against Jayson Tatum and the Celtics.

An upcoming series against a very good opponent isn't enough to prevent Antetokounmpo from being light-hearted. Following the Bucks' series-clinching win over the Chicago Bulls, a reporter asked Antetokounmpo what he thinks of the upcoming matchup and where the Celtics have impressed him. He joked that he doesn't watch basketball because it makes him sweat and worry:

Leave it to Antetokounmpo for having a hilarious take on the matter. Of course, when the games do start this weekend, he will be ready to take the Celtics down. The Bucks playing without Middleton will be very tough against the Celtics, who boast a massively impressive defense and an offense with plenty of weapons. Tatum is emerging as a true superstar and his team has been one of the best NBA clubs in the past few months, and arguably the best. But adversity is nothing new to the Bucks.

The Bucks overcame injuries last postseason and won the championship. Although this Celtics team is a very unique beast, Antetokounmpo can easily be the best player of this series and will have Jrue Holiday and a talented supporting cast by his side. This series will be tough, but Giannis and his friends are ready for it.

The Bucks will travel to Boston to begin their next series in the NBA playoffs, which kicks off on Sunday.
