The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing for the NBA playoffs. Milwaukee finished the 2023-24 regular season with 49-33 record, which was good for third place in the Eastern Conference.

The NBA playoffs matchups are set! In the Eastern Conference, we have a pretty interesting matchup between two teams. The third-seeded Milwaukee Bucks will be facing off against the sixth seeded Indiana Pacers. The two teams have some history against each other: who could forget the great game-ball fiasco from this season? This matchup is […]

It’s far from ideal that the Milwaukee Bucks are nearing the postseason with Giannis Antetokounmpo dealing with a calf issue that is threatening to derail a playoff push before it even starts. Nonetheless, the Bucks still have pressing regular-season matters to deal with. They are only in need of one win to secure the two-seed […]

A healthy Damian Lillard will not completely obscure the distress that Milwaukee Bucks fans are feeling following perplexing back-to-back losses to the Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies, but it sure does help.

Damian Lillard was paired with Giannis Antetokounmpo last summer to help the Milwaukee Bucks pursue their second title since 2021.

Jrue Holiday has always been known to be one of the best veteran guards in the league. Aside from his contributions as a primary defender and being arguably the best defensive guard in the NBA, Holiday has been a leader everywhere he has been in his career. Between his contributions on and off the court […]

Caitlin Clark had an amazing last home game at Iowa. The Hawkeyes crowd who had Georg Kittle were loud and proud to see their Hawkeyes legend blaze up against West Virginia.

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard went off against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night, scoring 30 points and notching 12 assists while going 5-11 from behind the 3-point arc.

The Brooklyn Nets had clear expectations entering the 2023-24 season: a scrappy team that would compete nightly but struggle to close games against star-studded rosters. While they’ve failed to live up to that billing, posting the NBA’s sixth-worst record (13-33) over the last three months, they kept to the original script during Thursday’s 115-108 loss […]

The Milwaukee Bucks took it to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday after winning the game 140-129.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Damian Lillard has always been a huge boxing fan. A quick look at his X (formerly Twitter) account where he often reacts to boxing fights proves as much.

Giannis Antetokounmpo indirectly put pressure on the Milwaukee Bucks to swing for the fences to try and convince him that the team was serious about competing for a championship to get him to stay and sign a contract extension. As a result, the Bucks traded away Jrue Holiday, a core member of their 2021 championship-winning […]

Patrick Beverley may not be putting up gaudy numbers, but his impact on the Milwaukee Bucks cannot be understated. Just ask Damian Lillard. Lillard, just like Giannis Antetokounmpo who called Beverley “my a-hole,” was full of compliments for Beverley following their showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. Pat Bev used to play for the Clips, […]

Damian Lillard hitting clutch shots night in and night out is more of an expectation at some point. When the Milwaukee Bucks are on offense in the last minute of a game, Coach Doc Rivers, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the rest of the squad know who takes the shot. This knowledge does not discount the fact […]

On Sunday afternoon, Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks took the floor in Los Angeles for an afternoon road game against the Clippers, who were operating without both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Well, that’s a result no one was expecting. With LeBron James out for the Los Angeles Lakers, many had the Milwaukee Bucks as easy winners during Thursday night’s contest.

Damian Lillard and Patrick Beverley used to be rivals on the court. Now, they are working together with eyes on a common goal — to win an NBA title for the Milwaukee Bucks. Lillard was effusive of Beverley when he recently spoke about his teammate amid Milwaukee’s scorching stretch. “There’s a lot of guys in […]

For much of the 2023-24 season, the Milwaukee Bucks’ drop-off on the defensive end of the floor has been one of the defining narratives of their season. Trading away Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard may have been the right call when it comes to convincing Giannis Antetokounmpo that the franchise is willing to do whatever […]

The transition to being the guy with the Portland Trail Blazers to being more of a secondary option for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks hasn’t exactly been the smoothest for Damian Lillard. His numbers are down across the board, and the offensive upgrade he brought into the team has been more or less a […]

The Bucks 113-106 come-from-behind win over the Clippers had the NBA world looking at Doc Rivers differently. Fans were skeptical of how much Rivers would be able to help a Milwaukee team that seemingly lost it’s defensive identity with the trade of Jrue Holiday that helped them land Damian Lillard. The subsequent games under Rivers’s […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have started to solidify themselves as the definitive second-best contender in the Eastern Conference.

A huge reason Doc Rivers’ system has been doing better is […]

Damian Lillard is in his first year with the Milwaukee Bucks, and while the team is having a solid year on the court, life in Milwaukee can be kind of lonely, according to Lillard. He recently had comments go viral as he said that didn’t have much of a life, and some people took it […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are in third place in the Eastern Conference. Damian Lillard made the All-Star team in his first year with the Bucks.

Point guard Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks appear to have found their footing a bit since the NBA returned from its annual All-Star break last weekend.

There has been a palpable air of disappointment surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks this season, especially as of late.

While it certainly wasn’t the biggest move across the league, the Milwaukee Bucks addition of Patrick Beverley was one of the most divisive deals ahead of the trade deadline in the NBA this season. Not only was it confusing to see the Philadelphia 76ers move on from Beverley, but he also had some long standing […]

Many players decided to rest during the All-Star break, and some even did during the 2024 All-Star Game (much to the chagrin of the NBA). However, Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were pushing each other to be better instead of just coasting. Although the final score was a whopping 211-186 in favor […]

The season is certainly not looking the way the Milwaukee Bucks envisioned their campaign to be, especially after they sent shockwaves across the NBA and acquired Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers to form a superstar pairing with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee instantly became favorites to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy this June. But with […]
