DeMar DeRozan recently passed Tim Duncan in the All-Time scoring list, and should pass Dominique Wilkins and Oscar Robertson this season, if he’s not shut down by the tanking Kings. It’s not surprising to see one of the best scorers of his generation potentially cracking the top 15 next season, but what makes DeRozan’s story […]

As […]

Usually, these Victor Wemanyama – Giannis Antetokounmpo match-ups have been must-watch TV, but with the latter out along with several more members of the Bucks’ main rotation, it was another methodical Spurs blowout win against a struggling opponent. Things were clicking offensively for everyone not named Wemby in this one, and they used a full […]
It’s quite possible we’ve seen the last of Kevin Porter Jr. in 2025–26.

By the end of Volume 8, the Bucks got lower than Lil’ John & the Eastside Boyz in 2002. As you can imagine, Volume 9 has more of the same. But there are moments—glinting in the dark—that suggest 2025-26 is a passing cloud rather than a never-ending well. Let’s recap. vs. Suns Suns vs. Bucks. […]

Read our full summary of […]
