With 32 games remaining in the 2018-19 season, the Milwaukee Bucks are on pace for 60 wins. Even better, they have a 30.6 percent chance to win the NBA Title according to ESPN’s BPI playoff odds. Those are two forecasts that were unfathomable just one year ago.
Just last January, the Bucks were fresh off firing their head coach Jason Kidd and had announced Joe Prunty as his interim successor. Milwaukee was in complete disarray. They looked to be wasting an all-time talent in Giannis Antetokounmpo and didn’t have a coaching staff who knew how to maximize the Greek Freak and his abilities.
