The pessimists among you may be familiar with the saying “one step forward, two steps back”. After going from 15 wins to 41 wins in the space of a year, that’s exactly the sort of false dawn the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to avoid.

Well on its own, the reality is it means very little.
The NBA is not a league of certainties. Potential doesn’t always get realized.
