Milwaukee Bucks: Revisiting bold preseason predictions
By Robby Cowles

Before the NBA season began, I set out in making a bold proclamation about how each Milwaukee Bucks players, and how the season would go for them.
What followed were predictions that ranged from not too unthinkable (Giannis Antetokounmpo winning MVP) to the more absurd (Matthew Dellavedova getting ejected a bunch of times).

Also, it might show if I do, in fact, know what I’m talking about sometimes when I talk about Bucks basketball.
