Bucks’ losing streak continues BUT…did they show that they’re moving in the right direction?



Bucks’ losing streak continues BUT…did they show that they’re moving in the right direction?

Milwaukee Bucks drop their first NBA Cup game in franchise history, falling 106-103 to the Miami Heat as their six-game losing streak continues. Although the Bucks lost, they showed some things against the Heat that can be built upon.

Camille Davis spotlights standout performances from Myles Turner—who posted his best outing in a Bucks uniform—and Ryan Rollins, whose growing confidence should boost Milwaukee’s full potential when fully healthy. Key discussion covers the Bucks’ improved defensive intensity against Miami, concerns over Cole Anthony’s struggles, and NBA Cup scenarios. Plus, a medical update on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr.

  1. A.J. Green was the Milwaukee Bucks' best player against Miami. His statistics were: 4/6 3PA 67%-REB 5- AST 8-STL 2-TO 0–12PTS MINUTES 36.

  2. What Direction? oh i see the trash direction.. This team is going nowhere..They Suck! 6L in a row.. iF they will lose to Brooklyn Bucks is a $h1T!! If im Giannis i must think right away that i have no future in this team and just wasting his Prime.. MVP Caliber Stats but the Team is a $h1T!!!

  3. This team is digging themselves into a hole here. No moral victories! No excuses! Got to get back on the winning track!

  4. If the Bucks get healthy & start winning games, I want all you to keep the same energy. It's crazy how fans don't support the team anymore. All they want is immediate change when things are not ideal. This isn't 2K! The Pacers were 10-15 last season, stayed the course & ended up in game 7 of the finals.

  5. I’m optimistic that Doc should be fired finally some post touches for Turner no Jackson again WTF 🤬we got the players doc not playing them. Defense good offense overall terrible.

  6. I think horst has been better. The owner forced him to hire doc rivers and he wanted kenny atkinson. Doc is a communicable disease. This team has more potential. We should be out rebounding teams. We should have 10 3s a night for AJ.

  7. This was the first game all season where i felt the whistle was fair. I know the Bucks do foul alot but the calls just dont seem consistent from one end of the floor to the other usually

  8. Can’t win with catch and shoot players, there to easy to defend. Worst offense in nba shooting 40 percent from 3, Quack Rivers and Horst should be fired. They got the Bucks looking like an expansion team.

  9. It's reality time…we have no chance of being a playoff player anytime soon! Trade the FREAK to the Hawks…they have young talented NBA players/ desirable NBA players on expiring contracts and a killer picks package they could offer! They have that UNPROTECTED pick from the PELICANS and they also have SWAP rights with us if we decide to all out tank and sell off players. Giannis deserves a chance to win another championship or 2! It certainly can't happen here!

  10. I think this loss is on Doc. Too conservative. He should have started the 4th quarter with Turner, Gt and Kuz as well as Green only resting Rollins. Then bring back Rollins after 4 ish minutes. Every starter was positive in the plus minus, yet you lose the game. No issue with Turner taking that shot. That was actually a very good sign. This was a must win game.

  11. Rollins need to learn how to get to the line, he will extremely dangerous if he can do that.

    Also much better to have 3´s missed than turnover (Cole Anthony)

  12. Agree that it was a good game for the Bucks. Good ball movement and better rotations on defense.

    The Bucks are not good at creating enough plays (AJ was great at that tonite, tho!) for others or covering another's man when someone switches. The perimeter defense is awful and the guards have a hard time stopping opposing teams from penetrating off the dribble.

    Everyone being too far away from the rim is another reason why this team has a hard time rebounding. The offense needs to find ways to move the ball inside, too, not just outside. It's one reason why the Bucks don't get to the free throw line without Giannis. Bobby's game has been hurt by this, in particular, and Jericho should be getting more lob attempts. Everyone (except Kuzma whose shot selection has improved this yr) standing at the 3 pt line is not going to get you there.

    It is a team built to let Giannis do everything and it's why the Bucks don't appear like a good enough team without him. Team needs more players that can create for others and we have to admit by now that not signing Westbrook when we had the chance was a mistake.

  13. Who are we kidding, NBA players don't bring it every night. Never have and never will. The million dollars will still be in their bank account whether they bring the energy or not!

  14. I thought Cole looked good in the pre-season playing alongside Ryan. They played a lot off each other and were constantly getting each other easy shots

    There's a lot that Scoot coming back will help with, regardless of whether Ryan keeps the starting job or not. Cuz unless Scoot and Ryan end up starting together, we'll have 2 pgs coming off the bench together most likely

  15. they finally ran some decent offense some of the time but I dont have confidence in Doc or Giannis to consistently run offense and get good shots

  16. I have a Bucks Flannel jacket that has embroidered, "Bucks in Six!" on the back. I'm wearing it today and want to use some tape to alter it so reads, "Bucks streak ends at Six!".

  17. CAMILLE QUIT DREAMING!! NEW YORK IS HEALTHY. THEY REMEMBERED HOW THE BUCKS BEAT THEM IN MILWAUKEE!! THEY WILL STOMP A MUDHOLE IN THIS BUCKS TEAM FRIDAY!! DID YOU SEE HOW THEY MSNHANDLED THE HORNETS?? GET IT TOGETHER SISTA!! WATCH THE GAMES!! KNICKS BY A LANDSLIDE!! THE LOSING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL WE MEET ANOTHER REALLY BAD TEAM!! THEY SHOULD HAVE BEAT THE HEAT!! TURNER SHOOTING THOSE BRICKS WHEN TRENT JR. FINALLY HAD IT GOING!! HEY MYLES PASS THE FREAKING BALL TO THE OPEN AND MAKING HIS SHOOTS BETTER THAN YOU TRENT JR.!! THIS IS THE BUCKS 100 MILLION DOLLARS VERY WELL SPENT!! WHERE'S THE MYLES FROM INDIANA??BECAUSE THIS DUDE WHO JUST GOT PAID IS AN IMPOSTER!! AS ALWAYS JON MUST GO!! THE TIME IS WAY PAST NOW!! THE TIME REALLY IS RIGHT NOW!!

  18. this game only proved they took it serious because of the NBA cup money nothing else. They need a second floor general even with GA they are a play in team at best

  19. I TOLD YOU MRS. CAMILLE A KNICKS WIN!! IT WASN'T MUD HOLE STOMPING STYLE BECAUSE GIANNIS RETURNED!! IF HE DIDN'T RETURN IT WOULD'VE GOTTEN REALLY BAD!! FIRST NICO NOW JON MUST BE GONE!! THE TIME IS NOW! RIGHT NOW!! HOW MANY LOSES MORE ARE WE GOING TO KEEP GIVING JON A PASS?? YEAH DOC IS ON THE HOT SEAT WITH ALOT OF YOU BUT HE DIDN'T PUT THIS TEAM TOGETHER. THIS TEAM IS A REAL LIFE LAND OF MISFIT TOYS!! JON HASN'T DONE SQUAT FOR US LATELY!! SO BEFORE DOC, JON MUST GO!! JOIN NICO!! THE TIME IS NO BETTER THAN RIGHT NOW!! DALLAS GOT RID OF NICO!! WHEN WILL BUCKS FANS START LETTING JON KNOW THEIR DISPLEASURE WITH THIS TEAM?? WHEN?? WHEN WILL YOU IN THIS SECTION LET YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT BE KNOWN TO JON ABOUT THIS TEAM?? DON'T LOOK FOR JUSTIN, CAMILLE, AND FRANK TO BRING TO THE FRONT AND HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE!! THE FANS HAS TO DO THAT!! THE TIME IS NOW!!
