Milwaukee Bucks Best and Worst: December 30 – January 5
By Adam Coffman
In this edition of the Best and Worst, we look at the Bucks’ point guard position, a recent string of injuries, and much more.
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 began their week with a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but rebounded in a nice way with a third straight dispatching of the Chicago Bulls and a great win over Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In addition to their work on the court, the Bucks are beginning to get a lot of buzz nationally thanks both to their victory against OKC and most recently, the appearance of Giannis Antetokounmpo on a regional cover of Sports Illustrated.
If you haven’t read the accompanying article, do so immediately, then come back here. There’s a lot to get into regarding the Bucks’ past few games, so let’s get into it!
