Though his acclimation in the season’s hasn’t been quite as seamless as anticipated, Damian Lillard is fully entrenched as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Remember the role the Brooklyn Nets played in his dramatic offseason trade request, though? Mikal Bridges, it appears, would’ve been just as thrilled to play with Lillard as the former […]

The season is once again going south for the Chicago Bulls. If the team does not right the ship anytime soon, the Bulls could be well on their way to a massive fire sale of assets later in the season. One player that a boatload of teams — which include the Heat, Bucks, Lakers, Warriors, […]

On Wednesday evening, Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks improved to 7-4 on the young 2023-24 NBA season with an impressive 128-112 road win over the Toronto Raptors.

As one of the biggest stars in the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard is set to earn hundreds of millions of dollars by the time his career is over. But even he understands that the NBA In-Season Tournament prize of $500,000 is nothing to sneeze at: "The guys who are trying to earn their […]

Despite being tied for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at 7-4, the Milwaukee Bucks have tipped off their 2023-24 NBA season in rather underwhelming fashion. There were certainly lofty expectations for the Bucks when they landed Damian Lillard via trade this offseason and paired him alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, Milwaukee hasn’t met those […]

On a night where the Milwaukee Bucks were without their best player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, due to injury management, Damian Lillard had to shoulder the majority of the offensive workload during their Wednesday night clash against the Toronto Raptors, especially with Khris Middleton still under a minutes restriction.

The Milwaukee Bucks should be one […]

It’s getting hard to draw the line between taunting technical fouls and non-technical calls. Ask the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards. “The Greek Freak” and the “Ant-Man” were the subjects of the NBA’s controversial taunting techs in the past several days. Fortunately, NBA head of referee development and training Monty McCutchen […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have been uninspiring on the defensive end of the floor to start the 2023-24 season, with Damian Lillard, despite the offensive upgrade he brings, being a major downgrade from Jrue Holiday as a defender at the point of attack.

Anyone who said that the NBA In-Season Tournament would be a flop was completely wrong.

Health is everything to the Milwaukee Bucks (5-3) this season.

The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers during which they came from being down double digits early in the game to give themselves a chance only to blow it with late game mistakes. Giannis Antetokounmpo went off for 50+ points but it wasn’t enough. The Bucks were without Damian […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s greatness is well documented. The superstar big man has been the face of the Milwaukee Bucks for years and his performance on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers was the best we have seen so far out of any player across the NBA during the 2023-24 season. In 36 total minutes, Giannis recorded […]

To say that the Milwaukee Bucks have been lackluster on the defensive end to begin the 2023-24 season would be an understatement.

[…]
