Milwaukee Bucks
The defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks are an interesting team. They are bad on both ends of the floor and the only real saving grace for this team has been the greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Milwaukee is below average on offense and defense, and they have a putrid net rating. They’re lucky to be still afloat in the Eastern Conference. In fairness, the Bucks have been hurt by injuries to start the season. They haven’t helped them by any means.
If the Bucks can get healthy and get back to being an efficient offensive player again, they should be fine. Just right now, I’m not sure that’s a foregone conclusion. It’s a good thing the Bucks won a championship last season. Could you imagine the pressure that would be mounting had the Bucks lost the championship last season while getting off to the start that they’ve gotten off to this year? Whew.
Verdict: Turkey
