As the Milwaukee Bucks ready to start their 2020-21 season, the BTBP staff gathers for a roundtable focusing on their run and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s extension.

We’re mere hours from the start of the Milwaukee Bucks‘ 2020-21 season.

In short order, the Bucks will mount another run to what they hope will go as far as the NBA Finals and even potentially winning an NBA title for the first time in 50 years. As such, expectations are sky-high for this Bucks team that looks significantly different to what we’ve seen over the last few years.
