Milwaukee Bucks: Player of the Week (Jan 15 – 21)

The Milwaukee Bucks had a dismal run last week. They played five games and lost all of them. Through the struggles three players played well enough to earn some recognition.

Week 13 put five games onto the Milwaukee Bucks’ plate. The Bucks were unable to win a single one. It sounds bad but it might even be worse than what is seen at first glance. Three of those losses were to teams with a losing record.

Milwaukee dropped games to the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic and Miami Heat. It was a really tough stretch for the Bucks, one that dropped them under .500 and out of the top eight in the East.

The team stunk. In a perfect world, this will simply be a one week blip from the Bucks and they will get back to their above average ways soon. Sometimes the world is not perfect, however. Luckily for us, we are here to examine individual performances and not team performance.

So it is up to third best Buck of the week to add some variety into all of our lives. The race for third was quite close between one guard and one center. It was so close that the final decision came down to one statistic, plus/minus. The player who ended up getting the face-time was one of the only Bucks to have a positive plus/minus this week.
