After an unexpected playoff run last year, the Bucks are off to a slow start. Through Sunday, the Bucks are 5-8 and have lost three straight. While a small sample size, there have been some drastic differences between the upstarts of last year and the scuffling bunch this season.

Most dramatic is the drop off in Defensive Rating. Last season the Bucks were one of the top defensive squads in the NBA with a rating of 102.2, good for fourth in the league. This season the Bucks are dead last with a rating of 112.
