The Boston Celtics got it handed to them in their season opener, but they come back against the Milwaukee Bucks where they will attempt to win their first game of 2012-2013 in front of their home crowd. 

Just ask Paul Pierce how badly they lost against the Miami Heat and he will let you know how disappointed he was after the loss. "That's not who we are. The way we defended (Tuesday), we're not going to be a team that's going to give up 120 points. We've got to establish our identity and who we are." 

Though the defense was off against the Heat, they did have something positive to take from that game. Leandro Barbosa put on a show and for a brief moment, carried the team going on a mini-scoring spree. He finished the game with 16 points in just under 16 minutes played. 

For the Bucks, they are playing their first game of the season. 

It will be the first time that Brandong Jennings and Monte Ellis will have a full season to work with and already had a full training camp to get to know each other better. Both are explosive and can put points up in a hurry. 

However, this year, Coach Scott Skiles will try to focus on defense. 

"The real challenge is we've had a couple of years in a row where we didn't buy into our defensive system," Skiles said. "That's the real challenge, getting guys to buy in on that on the floor, give the effort, focus and concentrate as necessary to be a good defensive team." 

We will see what that defense is all about.
