Finale

The Bucks need to get back to their winning ways, and soon. Milwaukee currently holds the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, but that won’t hold if the Bucks drop most of the games on this road trip.

Somehow, there are only 16 games remaining in the 2016-17 NBA regular season for Milwaukee. The season flew by, as most of them tend to do. It would be a shame if the Bucks failed to make the playoffs after battling through some very difficult circumstances this year.

With just a half game lead over both the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, nothing is guaranteed for these Milwaukee Bucks. A strong close over these last several games could wind up in the Bucks gracing the postseason once more, but a weak finish would send Milwaukee back to the NBA Draft Lottery for the second straight season.
