It’s been a rough 72 hours for Milwaukee Bucks fans.
After racing out to a commanding 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks proceeded to lose four consecutive games to the Toronto Raptors on their way to dropping the series. The series loss means Milwaukee will now go 45 years without an NBA Finals appearance (their last was in 1974 in a 4-3 series loss to the Boston Celtics).
As gloomy as things may appear now, however, Milwaukee Bucks fans should be really proud of what the team accomplished.
Before the season tipped off in October, even the most optimistic Bucks fans wouldn’t have foreseen the team winning the most games in the league during the regular season.
