Last night, the Bucks were terrible. That’s about all that needs to be said, but I’ll say a little bit more about it anyway below. Two craptacular efforts this week, one coming against a cellar-dweller, say less to me about the Bucks’ postseason chances than they do about their athleticism. However, I think the Memphis loss boils down more to effort because Milwaukee defenders just were not getting back in transition. Lest we forget that Milwaukee also blew out the defending champs this week, which is worth celebrating no matter how horrendous Golden State fares on the road. That contest looked a lot more like a playoff one to me: less transition emphasis on both ends, heavier importance on shotmaking from everywhere on the court, more physicality (maybe a little too much), and a bit slower action in general.
