Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Jan. 21 at Miami Heat
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks have lost four straight games now, and with the Miami Heat upcoming on the second game of a back-to-back they’ll have to work to stop the streak.
The Milwaukee Bucks have now lost four straight games, and held a team meeting after the latest loss to discuss the problems. That’s never a great sign, especially when Jabari Parker apparently got “thrashed” based on whatever he said.
Milwaukee could really use a bounce-back win. The last time they matched up against the Miami Heat, they led from the jump and ended up winning an exciting game that got closer than it should’ve.
Forget the circumstances leading to it–the Bucks just need a win at the end of the night on Saturday. There are no moral victories when a team has lost four straight games, mostly to below-average opponents. It’s time for one on paper.
A lineup change might really help Milwaukee out here. The bench hasn’t been the same since Malcolm Brogdon got the starting nod, even with Matthew Dellavedova back and healthy again. To help out both the bench and Delly, maybe those point guards should switch roles again.
We’ll look at two major keys, one for the Bucks and one for the Heat, to see how either team could win on Saturday. Then it’s time to single out a Miami player to watch, followed by predictions on the game.
