The Milwaukee Bucks got demolished by the Charlotte Hornets in front of their home crowd on Saturday night.
The Charlotte Hornets are one of the most unexpected and fun surprises in the Eastern Conference. The Hornets had an okay start to the season before faltering around the midway point.
After the All-Star Break though, Charlotte has been on fire. The Hornets have put themselves in position to push for a top four seed in the playoffs this season, and are the ninth-best team in the NBA according to ESPN’s latest power rankings.

The Hornets were a necessary starting point for this article, because it’s all downhill from here. The Milwaukee Bucks tank is unstoppable now. The Bucks might legitimately lose out.
Milwaukee was perilously close to going down 30 points at multiple times in the second half of this game. Nicolas Batum scored more than Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo did, combined.
Tyler Ennis was the best Milwaukee Buck on Saturday night. This is where we’re at.
That’s mean though. Ennis was legitimately good, and the one bright spot (aside from those Tankathon rankings) from an ugly, ugly loss to Charlotte.
