The Milwaukee Bucks opened their season with a loss against the Charlotte Hornets last night. With that, what were some key things that stood out the most?
It had been 195 days since our last taste of true Bucks basketball. Sure, we’ve had brief flings with Summer League as well as preseason action, but more than enough time had passed that everyone was waiting for the real thing.
But now, Bucks basketball is officially back, now in it’s 49th season. Unfortunately, the Bucks opened the 2016-17 season with a 107-96 loss against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
For anyone hoping for the Bucks to get off on the right foot (I’m sure that’s everyone reading this), you were certainly left let down once it was all over. For the most part, the team’s performance on Wednesday night was underwhelming, disjointed and a bit uninspiring.

Sure, there were definite bright spots (more about that soon) and the Bucks were still within reach to snag a potential come from behind victory late into the game.
Alas, all that was left for the Bucks was an 11-point loss, in which they never held a lead at any point and were left with very few positives to show from it.
With that said, what were some key things (good and bad) that stood out the most from Wednesday’s loss to the Hornets? Let’s take a closer look.
