Upon recent news that the Bucks may be interested in Chris Paul, Jack wrote why that probably wouldn’t be a good idea in terms of an on-court and locker room fit. I agree with that 100%, but the I think Bucks should still trade for CP3 since it could net them a second-round pick from […]

Bucks may be looking to add talent next to Giannis

The Bucks’ 2025–26 season has not gone the way they wanted, especially in a year where they are trying to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo—eligible for an extension next fall—to stay around long term. They sit in the Eastern Conference’s 10th seed, Giannis himself is weeks away from returning as he recovers from a calf strain, and […]

Rapid Recap: Nets 127, Bucks 82

Whatever good vibes came from the Milwaukee Bucks’ upset win on Thursday were summarily executed by the six-win Brooklyn Nets in embarrassing, ugly, and unforgivable fashion. Even without Giannis, a blowout to one of the East’s worst teams by record—not leading at any point—that’s missing Cam Thomas is inexcusable. No one Net had more than […]

The future is now, Doc: Why Milwaukee needs a fresh head coach

“I’m tired of f-ing doing this every game. F-ing play harder!” That’s a quote from a Will Hardy rant during a timeout this week. Hardy, who coaches the tanking Jazz, doesn’t have to be saying that. His team isn’t good, and they’re not trying to be. Absolutely nobody was expecting them to beat the unstoppable […]

Milwaukee Bucks Poll: Your thoughts on the Giannis rumors

There’s little reason to rehash the latest round of rumors reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania and some of the contradicting claims made by Brian Windhorst last week regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee.
