Bucks Reacts Survey Results: A plurality of fans predict over 30 wins this season
As the season inches closer, we wanted to take the pulse of fans on a very simple question for this week’s Reacts: how many games will the Bucks win this season? As I mentioned, the national media is not high on Milwaukee’s chances after losing Giannis, with most outlets projecting the team to win between […]
Who should start for the Bucks at centre?
Welcome to Volume V of our “Choose Your Own Adventure” starter series, where we explore the Milwaukee Bucks’ options at each position. Read along, make your choice, and share your pick in the comments—if you dare! The centre rotation is nowhere near as jammed up as the guard rotation with three viable options at the […]

Welcome to Volume IV of our “Choose Your Own Adventure” starter series, where we explore the Milwaukee Bucks’ options at each position. Read along, make your choice, and share your pick in the comments—if you dare! Unlike the shooting guard position, the Bucks are pretty bare at power forward. So bare, in fact, that they’ll […]

Bucks Reacts Survey: How many games will Milwaukee win this season?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country.

Fan post: Welcome to the DOPE Show
Hello Brew Hoopers. Today we have a fan post from Rick Berry. Rick sent us this really interesting article, and we wanted to spotlight it on the site because he clearly put a lot of effort into it. Fan posts are somewhat a thing of the past on BH due to logistical issues—The Feed is […]
Vin Baker to join Giannis in Miami
Per Chris Haynes, former Bucks assistant Vin Baker is joining Erik Spoelstra’s staff in Miami, where he will reunite with Giannis. Baker spent eight seasons with the Bucks and had an extremely close relationship with the two-time MVP, so it makes sense that the Heat would want to bring in a familiar face. This is […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Majority of fans want two ex-Heat players to start
This week, our attention turned to the quartet of players—Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, Kasparas Jakučionis—the Bucks acquired as part of the trade that sent Giannis and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat. More specifically, we asked you how many of them you think Taylor Jenkins should start. Turns out the magic number […]
Bucks draft-and-stash finds new home
After being taken by the Bucks with the 60th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Malique Lewis is expected to reach a deal with the NBL’s Cairns Taipans for the upcoming season. Of course, Lewis knows the league well, having spent the last two seasons with the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix; last year, he averaged 6.9 […]

Heard ‘em say: Mid-August media roundup
August. Continues. To. Stagnate. Still, there are bits and pieces—rumours and news and everything in between—that you might have heard about (yes, it took a lot of resistance not to force a deer-related pun in there—and for the headline). Let’s catch up. Brayden Burries keeps balling You love basketball. I love basketball. Brayden Burries loves […]
Who should start for the Bucks at point guard?
Welcome to Volume I of our “Choose Your Own Adventure” starter series, where we explore the Milwaukee Bucks’ options at each position. Read along, make your choice, and share your pick in the comments—if you dare!

Bucks Reacts Survey: How many of the ex-Heat players should the Bucks start?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country.

Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Majority of fans agree with Horst waiting on Giannis
This week, we finally touched on the elephant in the room re. Giannis: the notion that Bucks GM Jon Horst waited too long to trade him. This week’s polling results were fascinating because, to me, they showed how being a team fan and having a deeper connection to its players can change how people view […]
Bucks release 2026-27 NBA season schedule
The Milwaukee Bucks’ schedule for the 2026-27 season is out, as confirmed by the NBA’s Communications Department. Although the Bucks won’t play on any holidays, like Opening Night, Christmas Day, MLK Day, or Presidents’ Day, or travel abroad for any overseas games, there are a lot of intriguing matchups that Milwaukee will face this season. […]
Why the Heat recruits might already know the Bucks offence
The four players the Bucks acquired from the Miami Heat in the Giannis trade—Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis—may already be a step ahead in knowing Taylor Jenkins’ offence when training camp hits. Allow me to explain. Noah’s mark Before the 2024-25 season, a relatively unknown assistant named Noah LaRoche was […]
Bucks confirm preseason, NBA Cup games
The Bucks’ 2026-27 schedule is finally beginning to form. Over the past week, the Bucks have finalized their five-game preseason schedule and revealed their four-game NBA Cup slate. Milwaukee will trot out a ragtag group of rookies and bubble players over eleven days of preseason action. The Bucks will play at Fiserv Forum on Oct. […]
Tyler Herro is excited to rep Milwaukee, for however long that may be
During Summer League, new Bucks guard Tyler Herro spoke with The Athletic’s Eric Nehm about everything from the trade itself to his feelings toward returning home. I’ve pulled some of the more notable quotes from this interview to break down. Of course, all credit goes to Nehm. Obviously, there has been a lot of debate […]
Yes, the Bucks held on to Giannis for too long
Abstract When the Bucks acquired Damian Lillard in 2023 at 33 years old, they probably figured they would get three, maybe four years of high-level play from him, and with him and Giannis, could credibly field a contending team during that time. But then in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, everything changed. After […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Should Horst have traded Giannis a year ago?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country.

On this day in Bucks history: Milwaukee signs Bobby Simmons
I can remember it vividly. Year 11 (junior year to most of you). My best friend’s voice riding the wind across the yard. “Did you see it?” I looked up, mouth ajar, eyes staring as if I was mid matrices exam. Then the follow-up. “The Bucks have signed Bobby Simmons!” Dilation. Pupils, mouth. Everything. It […]
Bucks, Taylor Jenkins finalize coaching staff
The Milwaukee Bucks announced their coaching staff earlier on Friday. Under new head coach Taylor Jenkins, only Darvin Ham and head of player development Jack Herum will return to the Bucks for the 2026-27 season. The rest of Milwaukee’s new coaching personnel—including Summer League head coach Pat St. Andrews—are all new hires or returning to […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Majority of fans think Horst is a drafting dud
This week, we’ve garnered your thoughts on trader drafter Jon. Often praised for his ability to secure heists via trade, Horst’s drafting reputation has, well… been a point of contention. Prior to polling, it seemed that Bucks fans were largely down on Horst as a drafter, but what seems to be consensus and what’s actually […]
Peyton Watson rumour round-up
Despite being summer, the NBA’s August doldrums continue at glacial speeds. But amidst the roster limbo the Bucks find themselves in, tidbits continue to emerge about one particular player of interest: Peyton Watson. Let’s catch up. A delayed resolution?
