So last season was pretty great for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks managed to rebound in a big way and finished third in the Central Division. Milwaukee also made a playoff run, but thanks to the depressingly bad ending to that we’ll just gloss over it for the moment.

Reflecting on the Bucks great season had me thinking about how the Central Division would play out this season. So I decided to use my powers of prediction (that probably will end up terribly wrong, but hey, shooters shoot) on Milwaukee’s division and
gues
s
predict the order the five Central teams will end up in, along with their records.
Some hints before we get going: the Bucks are neither first or last, and I do believe all five teams in the Central Division are going to be good enough to make the playoffs this season. So it’s not going to be easy for Milwaukee to improve, but I’ll get to that more later.
Anyway, let’s get started with the worst of the bunch and work our way towards the top of the Central Division.
