The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we read about the significance of Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer’s preference to regiment the minute workloads of his players throughout the year.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, Mike Budenholzer’s strategy to not overstress his players has been key to the Bucks’ playoff run, veteran Bucks center Pau Gasol takes to the Players Tribune to explain why he thinks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is this year’s MVP, and much more.
With their opponent, the Toronto Raptors, looking very fatigued by the end of Game 1 Wednesday night, Budenholzer’s carefully crafted strategy of not overloading his players has been an underlying theme throughout the Bucks’ season so far. Of course, the team’s collective depth helps in this regard too.
