The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday in the tail-end of a back-to-back after beating the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are performing well so far in 2023-24. Dallas is set for a big game on Saturday night against the Milwaukee Bucks.

On Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will look to pick up their second group stage victory over the […]

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, […]

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 […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard had himself a night against the Toronto Raptors. Despite Bucks’ star Giannis Antetokounmpo sitting out in this one, Dame Time was in full effect. The Bucks defeated the Raptors 128-112 and Damian Lillard was an absolute star. He scored 37 points while dishing out 13 assists in the blowout victory. […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, a matchup that can help the Bucks get back on track after losing two of their last three games. With Damian Lillard dealing with a calf injury and still getting acclimated to the Bucks’ system, it has been Giannis Antetokounmpo carrying […]

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 Chicago Bulls have done everything to mesh with each other. However, it has not been effective after notching only four wins in the first eleven games of the season. Rumors suggest that the core of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan might be getting blown up before the end of the 82-game run. It all […]

Even before the 2023-24 NBA season began, we knew who would be listed in the initial MVP rankings.

While […]

The Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship in 2021, and they are once again one of the top teams in the NBA. Milwaukee has Giannis Antetokoumpo, and with the addition of Damian Lillard, the Bucks are poised for another big season. They are off to an okay start as they are 5-4, but Bucks fan […]

After starting the 2023-24 season strong, the Milwaukee Bucks are in a bit of a slump. The Bucks lost their second straight game to the Orlando Magic.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo did his perfect LeBron James impersonation on Saturday with his very own chasedown block against the Orlando Magic. Sure enough, it sent everyone buzzing. Late in the first quarter, Antetokounmpo turned the ball over after an errant pass was caught by Magic big man Jonathan Isaac. Facing a 1-vs-2 situation, […]

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 […]

It’s safe to say the Milwaukee Bucks have underperformed so far to start the 2023-24 NBA season. It’s hard to blame NBA fans for their lofty expectations of this team. They happen to have arguably the best duo in the NBA in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Milwaukee won the offseason when the team swooped […]

Raring to go after an inexplicable ejection ended his night early against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated the Indiana Pacers in the paint on Thursday night.

This group is special,” @TheDestinAdams tweeted. “Now THAT is a signature […]

On Thursday night, the Milwaukee Bucks dropped to 5-3 on the young season with a loss to the Indiana Pacers despite a virtuouso performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo scored 54 points on the road against Indiana; however, the Bucks’ defense wasn’t particularly great on the evening, and the Pacers ultimately won the game by a […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected for taunting against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night; an ejection that many NBA fans thought was over the top.

The Milwaukee Bucks are fresh off a hard-fought win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, but they are now turning their attention to the second night of a back-to-back, with their second contest coming against the Indiana Pacers. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are on the injury report ahead of this game, but […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected in the third quarter of Wednesday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons.

Giannis, after being surprised with the ejection, didn’t quite do that: The Bucks forward was called […]

The Milwaukee Bucks squeaked out a tight 120-118 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, despite losing superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo for virtually the entire second half.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was not able to finish Wednesday night’s showdown between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Detroit Pistons after he was ejected from the contest due to the accumulation of two technical fouls.

And on Wednesday […]

The Milwaukee Bucks almost slipped on a banana peel on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons when Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected from the game early on in the third quarter of what ended up being a 120-118 win for them. Antetokounmpo was, at least in the eyes of many, unfairly penalized for a vicious staredown […]

During the Milwaukee Bucks’ Wednesday night tussle against the Detroit Pistons, Giannis Antetokounmpo became the subject of a controversial call early on in the third quarter.

[…]

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks battled the Detroit Pistons in Milwaukee on Wednesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks won the offseason when they acquired Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers and paired him alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo to form one of the best duos in the league. However, despite sporting a 4-2 record, the Bucks are off to a rather underwhelming start to the 2023-24 NBA season. They haven’t particularly […]

There were concerns from some pundits that the Milwaukee Bucks would have troubles on the defensive end of the court after they traded away Jrue Holiday in the Damian Lillard deal.

The Milwaukee Bucks, pegged by many as one of the foremost championship favorites after trading for Damian Lillard, have endured a bit of a rocky start to the 2023-24 season.

The new-look Bucks’ performance in Wednesday’s matchup with the Toronto Raptors, […]
