In the first half of a weekend back-to-back at Fiserv Forum, the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a four-game losing streak, taking out perhaps the most unabashed tankers in NBA history, the Utah Jazz. In his most extensive action since returning Monday from a calf strain (27 minutes), Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in a game-high 27 for the […]
While a deliberately tanking opponent is in town tonight that may end it, the Bucks’ highly dispiriting four-game losing streak has put a series damper on fan enthusiasm, despite the eight-wins-in-10-games stretch that came before. Two weeks ago, in the midst of that stretch, nearly 70% of voters on our Tuesday Tracker wanted Milwaukee to […]
The Milwaukee Bucks play the Utah Jazz in what should be a relatively simple game for the Bucks. They’ll search for their first win in five games as the gap between the tenth seed and the Bucks continues to widen. With a tanking team like the Jazz offering weak resistance to the Bucks, this game […]
The Jazz came into the nation’s capital with their heart on their sleeve, and were only left with shattered dreams. They had lost the first of a 2-game regular season series against the Wizards with a heart-crushing loss, despite Trae Young making an appearance through two and a half quarters. All they can do now […]

Another bad loss where the Milwaukee Bucks had immense trouble scoring in the second half, but against the Atlanta Hawks—who have now tied their season series at a game apiece—defense was probably the larger issue. With 21 games remaining, the Bucks fall to five games back of the Hawks for the East’s 10th seed. Read […]

The Atlanta Hawks were in Milwaukee on Wednesday night to face the Bucks.

A sneaky part of the Bucks’ now-dead hot streak that Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins seemingly clicked better together than earlier in the season. During Giannis’ last injury layoff in December, Doc Rivers talked about how he preferred to split the two up: “I like [Rollins] and Scoot together when Giannis plays. But when […]

Celtics playing 5th game in 7 nights without 2 starters and getting in at 3:30 am and with the Bucks at full strength after getting their star back. The Celtics had every reason to accept this as a schedule loss but they were amazing. I'm not surprised to see all the Doc hate. I never liked him after he made a comment about not wanting to work on defense. in practice. I love how much Bucks fans envy the Celtics for having Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla. ...
