Week 6 Wrap Up

There have been a lot of ups and downs in this young season for the Milwaukee Bucks. This week might just be the pinnacle of the year if they fail to reach the playoffs. If that does happen and Milwaukee is back to watching ping pong balls in the NBA draft lottery then this week will serve as a reminder of the potential excellence this team can achieve.

After a few weeks where it was a challenge to find deserving candidates for the player of the week rankings this week was refreshing. At least seven Bucks had a reasonable argument for the third place spot. More weeks like this will ensure Milwaukee is maintaining its novel winning ways.

The Bucks have another four game week ahead of them. This time the competition will be kicked up a notch. This week they played only one team above 0.500. Next week they face two such teams and one team that is essentially at that 0.500 mark.

The increase in challenge comes at a good time for Milwaukee. The team and the NBA in general want to see what the Bucks are made of. If the escape this week with a 3-1 or 4-0 record it will be a confirmation that this team is in fact for real.

Tune in next week to see if the Bucks can keep this up.
