Milwaukee has a team which has hovered around .500 for several years. They were supposed to turn the corner last season, but instead made a U-turn and badly missed the playoffs after going 41-41 (see?) the year before.
I sense a new-found maturity with these Bucks. They have made the needed adjustments since losing shooting guard Khris Middleton to injury, and I expect them to be battling for the eighth seed all year.
I may pull that prediction in a hurry if a certain Greek Freak hurts himself. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points, rebounds, and assists, plus the unofficial category of highlight reel dunks.
