Milwaukee Bucks get DESTROYED by Raptors in 28-point blowout loss | Brutal upcoming stretch of games
Milwaukee Bucks suffer their worst loss of the young season, falling 128-100 to the Toronto Raptors. Was this blowout loss simply about back-to-back fatigue, or does it expose deeper concerns about Milwaukee’s roster construction and rotation strategies?
Camille Davis breaks down the Bucks’ shooting struggles, defensive lapses, and troubling officiating inconsistencies surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s lack of foul calls despite absorbing significant contact. The analysis examines whether offense or defense is the bigger concern, all-bench lineup effectiveness, and lineup data that reveals surprising patterns.
Davis previews a brutal upcoming stretch: six games in nine days with two back-to-backs against the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Charlotte Hornets, and LA Lakers that will test Milwaukee’s depth and conditioning.
Can the Bucks survive this gauntlet and maintain their playoff positioning, or will rotation questions and fatigue derail their momentum?

It gets tiresome watching the refs allowing the teams they play to be so physical . And We get tacky calls they get to the line and the bucks are hammered . It makes me want to stop watching the NBA again . And no Doc biased refs are not just part of the game !
I know it’s early and I love Bobby as much as the next Bucks fan. But unlike Kuzma (who has bought into the style of play and put in EFFORT on defense and seems happy to just play a role), Bobby’s doesn’t seem to have bought in fully to the quicker style of play. Either that or he’s just unable to. He’s always trying to iso ball instead of swing it around, too slow on defense. He just looks off this year.
I turned that s off and went to bed lol
Those refs had on raptor uniforms it was a fair battle last night the bucks were robbed. We gone need more from turner like doc gotta get him more touches not just 3s get in the post
Quack Rivers needs to be fired soon before season over. Giannis needs to play low post and give up on point guard bs. We can't have 3 guards that can't dribble a basketball. What happened to the young team, tired this early in the season – what a lame excuse. 2-4, both cup wins, quack rivers won't prepare for the other games.
The NBA is starting to have big issues with the officiating. The ref's were trash in this game.
Love your punditry Camille, need you Courtside 💯
The team looks like they abandoned the 4 out system
I said months ago, Green can not start because he's a target and too small. I was told Green is a great defender and size wouldn't be an issue. Months later, it's an issue. Yes, he's getting petty fouls but he's undersized and teams are taking advantage of it. Green is playing defense, but what's the point, when teams will just shoot over him and he doesn't have the wingspan to really contest. We have to get a bigger guy in that role if we want to plug the leakage at that position.
nah i don't want to hear anything about a back to back ,this is a younger squad and they should have been adequate preparation for the schedule. This was just a very bad game and showing by the Bucks they still need to improve on depth .
I love Rollins in the starting lineup, but we need KPJ at the point. We rebound better, we have more scoring options, more creativity, guys play more upbeat and he can take over a game. Start KPJ, Rollins and Trent and watch the ball pressure increase, in crease in turnovers and steals.
We need to do what the raptors did. They ripped off indiana with ball movement and 3s. They had us in a blender! We have better 3 point shooters yet our best shooters take the least shots.
Why is prince playing so many minutes give those minutes to sims. Doc sucks play Jackson, Coffey has showed me nothing. Play Kuzma more he’s playing good. I’m already tired of watching Portis, Prince, and Coffey suck on the floor. Prince and Coffey should be out of the rotation.
Honestly I didn't expect them to beat Toronto after a emotional victory in Indiana. This is the NBA back to backs. While the other team rests at home, I'm more concerned with the. Refs getting the verdict to 2:23
Disrespect the bucks when it comes to officiating given gannis no respect and et cetera go bucks
The officiating of starts to become repetitively bad for the bucks and I don`t tend to complain about the refs. Other than that the season is looooong. Next games will be more telling if that was a back to back thing. Bulls and Thunder are posing different problems and are hot. I will be delighted if we win one out of two.
Acho que Anthony, não está tão comprometido com equipe
Comete erros básicos, mais infelizmente não muda sua postura
I didn't need this game to see cracks and flaws in this team, I saw it last year, for some reason Doc and the GM didn't, they took Lopez out in the playoffs cause he couldnt play D, now you have Prince and Bobby doing the same thing but they cant see it
Also 4 out 6 games, all things considered seems optimistic. 3 out of 6 is OK. 2/6 bad. We should win on paper hornets at home and Mavericks. And one out of the other 4. I don't see us winning the Lakers on a back to back. So that leaves Bulls, Hornets and Rockets for another win. Let's start by killing the Bulls hype and get some momentum back. In any case after last year's horrible 2-8 start I am not overtly stressing.
I love Bobby, but when his shot isn’t falling, he’s painful to watch — no defense, no effort, just killing the second unit. 😢
There was a 5-10 minute stretch in the third quarter, where every offensive play we ran was Kuzma or Bobby Portis chucking up contested 3s, we CANNOT let the offense stagnate like that, at least give the ball to Cole Anthony or another shooter. Kuz and Bobby basically wasted an entire quarter of possessions with all their misses
The officiating is bad but no technicals from Quack Rivers- he doesn't care. Other than Giannis, the rest of the team should be fresh all they do is shoot 3s, no defense, no rebounds, no ball skills – 12 coaches and not one does their job working on ball drills, positioning, free throw shooting.
I don’t love the starting 5. We need to insert a taller wing player. I feel like we are still missing a piece.
Bobby looks really sluggish. I hope he finds his rhythm.
Doc let the game go too far out before calling timeout…this is on the coach.
Fire DOC
TRADE Turner and get Donte Divencenzo back.
