It seems inconceivable with some of the talent on this team, but the truth of the matter might be that the Bucks just aren’t that good this season. Milwaukee has had a largely easy schedule and is currently 6-10, bad enough for 13th in the Eastern Conference.

That’s bad, mmkay? South Park references aside, the Bucks really need to shape up. It’s true injuries have been annoying for the Young Bucks and that they were without head coach Jason Kidd for a game.

The condensed version of the grades and reactions from this game is that everything was bad. If you want to put yourself through a gloomy experience, read on.
