This season has been a miserable one for the Bucks, whose record will only get worse now that Giannis is out for an extended period (again). Simply put, they are a bad team that, for the first time in a long time, sits at the lunch table with the NBA’s bottom-feeders as opposed to its […]
In a pregame interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Jim Owczarski before last night’s 131-115 win over the Chicago Bulls—snapping a five-game losing streak—Giannis spoke candidly about where his head was at as the trade deadline looms.

Our Tuesday polls, as well as ones we’ve conducted on social […]

How wrong we were. After another loss to the Washington Generals Wizards, the […]
In trade rumors that don’t involve a certain someone, the Milwaukee Bucks have the Brooklyn Nets’ Cam Thomas and the Dallas Mavericks’ D’Angelo Russell on their radar, per Michael Scotto. Are these folks good at basketball? Your mileage may vary on that question. Thomas can at least score, which doesn’t hurt. But when the baseline […]

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). It was really just more of the same from the Bucks; they are one of the league’s worst teams without Giannis. That said, I […]
