The Milwaukee Bucks got destroyed at the charity stripe against the Washington Wizards (28-9), a key reason for their 109-99 defeat (despite shooting it more frequently and at a better clip).

Bucks Trade Candidate: Malik Monk
While we have looked at some of the biggest names in the trade market, including Ja Morant and Michael Porter Jr., there are other avenues Bucks GM Jon Horst could pursue to improve the Bucks this season and beyond. They could look for role players instead of stars, or several players, rather than bringing in […]

Momentum Moments: Vol. 6
Volume 5 showcased resurgence, offering hope for the rest of the season. Volume 6 rips that hope out of your chest. Ineptitude, poor leadership, and crushing injury defined the past fortnight, leaving the Bucks—and their fans—reevaluating everything. @ Nuggets The. Bucks. Are. In. Denver. And. Struggling. With. The. Altitude. They have to be—it’s the only […]

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks Preview & Game Thread: Immaculately bad vibes
The Milwaukee Bucks will play a game of basketball against the Dallas Mavericks. At least it’s a reasonable start time! They won the other game this season oh so barely, 116-114, nearly giving our own Jack Trehearne a conniption. Where We’re At Bad coach, still here. Badly behaving star, now out. Bad rest of the […]

Standing in front of his locker with the assembled media after the Bucks’ comeback attempt fell short in their 102-100 loss to the shorthanded Nuggets, Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed news that Bucks fans least wanted to hear: he had injured his calf again, and he would likely be out another 4–6 weeks: “So, the next steps […]

Bucks vs. Nuggets Player Grades: Late comeback masks another putrid performance
The Bucks’ downturn continued last night, as they lost 102-100 at home to the very shorthanded Denver Nuggets, going winless against them this season.

Mixtape: A midseason Milwaukee Bucks playlist
My family and I spent some 17 hours of our Australian summer holidays road-tripping, nothing but the open road and the music blaring through the car speakers to stimulate our senses. It was during this—somewhere in-between my country shuffle and the kids’ umpteenth play of “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters—that the idea spawned: when you […]
