Rivers is not ducking the responsibilities of being the lead man after overseeing a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are betting on a turn toward the positive sooner rather than later under Doc Rivers. Unfortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s embarrassing moment at the free throw line could sum up the entire season despite a full training camp together.

The Milwaukee Bucks are making cutthroat roster decisions amid the rumblings over Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future. Doc Rivers inherited a team that swapped Jrue Holiday’s all-around game for Damian Lillard’s lethal offense. Rivers took the head coaching job in the middle of last season. Having a full training camp together was supposed to create a better […]

With the Milwaukee Bucks off to a shaky start this season, speculation is mounting around Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the franchise. Since the team’s decision to replace Adrian Griffin with Doc Rivers in January, the Bucks have struggled to find consistency, winning only 20 of their last 46 regular season and postseason games. After a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks will be declining the fourth-year rookie option worth $4.8 million for the 2025-26 season on MarJon Beauchamp’s contract, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

The Milwaukee Bucks have endured a rough start to the season; instead of being off to the races now that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have played a year together, they have lost three consecutive games to fall down to 1-3 on the year — a stretch that includes inexcusable defeats to teams that are […]

The 2024-25 season has not been kind to the Milwaukee Bucks thus far. Aside from their 1-3 start with three straight losses and a lack of intensity, the Bucks have also been playing without All-Star wing Khris Middleton. This offseason, Middleton underwent procedures on both of his ankles to address long-running injury concerns, and he […]

On January 23, 2024, the entire trajectory of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise was altered.

A 1-3 start for the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn’t exactly what they envisioned.

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a disappointing first-round exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers.

BOSTON — Unlike many of his taller teammates, Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard doesn’t necessarily stand out in a crowd. In fact, the 6-foot-1 backup said that sometimes he can go out in public with a hat and people won’t recognize him. On Monday night though, Pritchard’s game was outstanding. The fifth-year Celtic burned […]

The Milwaukee Bucks experiment of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo has some concerns; including former Bucks guard Jeff Teague.

However, both guards play drastically differently. Holiday is someone […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks set out one goal prior to the start of the 2024-25 season: win the 2025 NBA Finals.

Outside of Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, Milwaukee is […]

When Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers prepared for the Boston Celtics, he had his focus on a name that was not Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown. Instead, Rivers had Payton Pritchard’s name circled on his paper. After the game, Rivers admitted that he was not surprised by Pritchard’s big performance against the Bucks, which […]

BOSTON — In a game with plenty of stars, an unlikely hero shined through for the Boston Celtics.

The Dallas native didn’t stuff the […]

As fans cheered, players and coaches received their championship rings, […]

The Milwaukee Bucks were expected to at least come away with one win during their back-to-back set on Sunday and Monday against the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, respectively. However, they fell short in what ended up being a trap game against the Nets, and the Celtics matchup is as unforgivable as it can be […]

What is wrong with the Milwaukee Bucks? Sitting not-so-pretty with a 1-2 record to start out the 2024-25 NBA season despite playing the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets, and the walking-wounded Philadelphia 76ers to start out the year, the Bucks have been allowing opposing guards to put up huge numbers through the first week of […]

The calendar year of 2024 hasn’t exactly been kind to the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the first three games have given more […]

The hope is that George […]

2024-25 is a bit of a “prove-it” season for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Now, Lillard and Antetokounmpo are looking to make […]

The Bucks and the […]
