Let the good times roll, this is a joyous BTBP Weekly Roundup indeed! With their most recent win the Bucks brought their total up to 30 wins for the season heading into the All-Star Break. Last season the Bucks won 15 games…all season. That’s right Bucks fans, your team has literally won double the games it won all last season with 29 games left to play!
Why have the Bucks had such an amazing turnaround? Other Behind the Buck Pass pieces released throughout the week piece the puzzle together well. Giannis Antetokounmpo has improved dramatically. Jason Kidd has been an incredible coach. And in addition to all that this Milwaukee team loves to grind.
On a slightly more somber note, Brandon Knight still isn’t an All-Star. Maybe. At this point I think I can speak for most Bucks fans when I say enough of all this injury replacement speculation. If Melo misses the game and Knight is picked to go, that’s awesome for Brandon. But either way people who follow the NBA have taken notice of Knight’s much-improved play this year. Maybe Jared Dudley can even talk Zach Lowe into writing an article about it.
But enough of opinions and speculation. It’s time to look at some facts and see what went down over the past week for Milwaukee. As usual the Bucks played four games this past week, and as usual we’re going to go through them one by one.
