Finale

The Bucks seem kind of lost at the moment. Milwaukee hasn’t brought much fire, especially to the last game against the Toronto Raptors. Despite the final score, there were lots of chances for the Bucks to make that game interesting.

They did not. At one point, a rebound bounced in front of Giannis before DeMarre Carroll scooped it up and dished it out for a Raptors three. That play was emblematic of the Bucks struggles lately–something just hasn’t been clicking.

Milwaukee needs something to start clicking soon, or the early-season playoff push will go to waste. The Bucks are far from out of the playoff picture, but each loss makes it harder to get back to one of the top eight spots in the East.
