I’m not sure I can advocate watching the Brooklyn Nets take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, but let’s see if we can eventually get there.
For one, the Bucks are trending on “head and shoulders above the rest of the NBA” territory, as the only team in the league with a +.700 winning percentage.
They are pretty much unbeatable at home, carrying a 27-6 record. And the Brooklyn Nets are down five - yes, FIVE - key players to their already, um, questionable roster.
No Ben Simmons (left knee/back soreness) which we expected.
