Welcome Bucks fans, to the first ever Behind the Buck Pass Weekly Roundup! This post (which should be available for your reading pleasure every Thursday during the NBA season) is meant to give a recap of the last week (including your BTBP Buck of the Week) for the Bucks, look forward to the next week, give updates on how the Bucks’ season is going thus far and share five things we’ve learned from the past week.
First things first: the big game over in England. The Bucks traveled across the pond for a January 15th showdown with the New York Knicks, one of only two games the Bucks played over the last week. Then after taking in the sights and visiting Chelsea FC’s stadium, the Bucks came home to Milwaukee to face the Toronto Raptors on January 19th.
More importantly as far as the entire season is concerned, the Bucks lost one key player for the remainder of the season and another for at least ten games.
Before we move on to the more depressing stuff however, lets focus on the games the Bucks played this week.
