Milwaukee Bucks Best and Worst: December 23 – 29

In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Best and Worst, we look at Tony Snell’s shot, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s All-Star bid, and the Bucks’ performance in the clutch.

Welcome to the Milwaukee Bucks’ Best and Worst, a semi-regular column that will look back on some of the most encouraging and discouraging events we’ve seen in recent games.

We will focus on more overarching trends and statistical positives and negatives than simple game-by-game analysis. The hope here is that by taking a step back, we can avoid short-term overreaction and focus on more encompassing issues.

The Bucks faced a three-game slate over the week of Christmas, featuring yet another two-game series, this one against the Washington Wizards, and a clash with the divisional rival Detroit Pistons.

These games will most likely have some form of playoff implications; both the Wizards and the Pistons figure to be fighting for a lower playoff seed just like the Bucks. Taking that into consideration, it was a fairly positive week for Milwaukee, taking two games convincingly and nearly winning a third.

Of course, there’s much more beyond the results to cover, so without further ado, let’s get into it!
