The Milwaukee Bucks are struggling, to say the least. After a surprisingly solid start to the year, the Bucks have lost five of their last six games. This could mean one of two things, but I believe the prevailing thought – or stance – here is that the absence of Khris Middleton is finally catching up with this team.
It’s easy to get through 2, 3 or even four weeks without one of your key guys, but the longer it goes the harder it becomes. I believe the Bucks are falling victim to that belief.
At the same time, there’s reason for the Bucks to be encouraged. Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo have looked great this season.
