The ceremonial midpoint of the season is a time for players to get a rest, teams to adjust their plans, and for fans to evalute just what it is they’ve seen so far.
In the case of the Milwaukee Bucks, we’ve seen a little bit of everything. On the positive side of the ledger we have the gradual growth of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s playmaking, a steady integration of Jrue Holiday’s collected presence on offense and defense, a hot start from Khris Middleton through the first month of the year, a bevy of bench free agents that seem to have been hits, and a 22-14 record good for the East’s third seed.
