Playing just a hint above .500 will continue until morale improves.
The game against the Atlanta Hawks this Wednesday represents the actual halfway point of the season and we couldn’t be reaching it in more stultifying form. Milwaukee goes through the motions and wins some, goes through the motions and loses some, and it all trudges forward in a modern-day take on “Waiting for Khrisdot”. If Godot is, in one interpretation, a manifestation of a sort of personal omniscient god, it makes sense to cast Khris Middleton in that role these days. The longer he is gone, the greater the power we assign to his person in making sense of this senseless team, the greater the power, the longer that wait feels.
