After a positive result on Sunday fueled hopes of a potential late season Milwaukee Bucks rise up the standings, much of the air was let out of that balloon with a loss to the LA Clippers on Tuesday night that coincided with victories for Eastern Conference rivals.
Even if a rankings climb and a more favorable matchup doesn’t come to pass for a Bucks team currently rooted to the East’s eighth spot, the rest of the season provides an important opportunity.
Milwaukee simply needs to find some confidence and consistency down the stretch if they’re to have any chance of being able to step up a gear under the bright lights of the postseason.
