The Milwaukee Bucks are engaged in something of a miniature doom loop. While the weight of expectations for this season weren’t unbearable, they were certainly high enough that a 1-5 start should rightly be considered borderline unacceptable. One, two, or three losses are just a handful of sparks flitting around the pile of fire starter this franchise has consciously stacked. Losses four and five are like lighting a torch covered in gasoline and whipping it into the kindling.
So now a blaze is hoping to break out. We are merely six games into the year.
