Milwaukee Bucks: The Glaring Need To Play Better Defense

Related Topics: Milwaukee Bucks

Last season the Milwaukee Bucks surprised a lot of people by finishing 41-41 and securing a playoff berth only one year after they finished with their worst record in franchise history at 15-67. Under first year Head Coach Jason Kidd they prided themselves on defense a season ago, finishing in the top 10 in the NBA in many defensive categories.

The 2015-16 campaign has gotten off to a rough start both offensively and defensively with the Bucks posting a record of 14-23 at this point, good for third worst in the Eastern Conference.

Fortunately for those Bucks fans who hold out hope regardless of how things have gone up to this point, the offense has played much better in recent weeks, especially the play of Khris Middleton and Michael Carter-Williams.
