In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Best and Worst, we look at Milwaukee’s struggles on defense and on the boards, plus 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.
