It was not the greatest week for the Milwaukee Bucks, especially when considering the record. For a team with playoff aspirations, losing three in a row is never a good sign. Despite playing three reasonably high-quality opponents, it was important for the team to at least take one of those games.

For truly the first time this season, the balanced Milwaukee bench disappeared. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker continued to play well and kept the team afloat, but there was rarely more than one or two quality bench performers this week. Mirza Teletovic had one outstanding game against the Washington Wizards and Greg Monroe had another all-around good week, but everybody else seemingly had down weeks.
Even Malcolm Brogdon, the epitome of consistency as a rookie, turned the ball over nearly twice per game and struggled to grab rebounds. Although his shot was terrific, he is an incredibly valuable part of the Bucks bench as a versatile guard and he needs to get back into form.
Now let’s see what the Player Power Rankings have in store as the Bucks approach three straight home-and-homes with the Bulls, Cavaliers, and Wizards.
