Although the play of the Milwaukee Bucks big three continues to be impressive, the team dropped another game, this time to the Chicago Bulls.
The Milwaukee Bucks have some very good players, but that doesn’t guarantee a good team. Clearly that’s true based on these Bucks, who lost by ten points to the struggling Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
The Bucks are now 26-38 on the season, and pretty firmly out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. That seems hard to believe considering how great Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, and Khris Middleton have looked this season.
But a good team is made up of more than three guys, and the Bucks are not. Only seven Bucks played more than 10 minutes last night, with those three and Jerryd Bayless all playing at least 36.
Over-reliance on a few guys is a sign of a bad team. Especially when those guys happen to be super young, aside from Bayless of course.
The Point Freak era is in full effect now, so at least there’s a bright spot for fans suffering through this dreary season. There are three bright spots, to be honest.
We’ll cover all of that and more in the grades and reactions to the Bucks latest double-digit loss.
