Over the past ten days or so you’d have been forgiven for forgetting that the Milwaukee Bucks are in the middle of a pretty impressive season.
It’s not that something happened to discredit that, more that so much happened unrelated to actual on-court NBA basketball that you almost couldn’t remember what we were doing here in the first place.
