The return of the 2021-2022 regular season went just about as you expected: Milwaukee loafed around, their opposing point guard broke free and scorched them for nearly 40 points, and they did it all in front of a national audience on their home floor. All in all, a somewhat unremarkable occurrence for the Bucks this year.
Funnily enough, this campaign is starting to boil down to the usual two overarching theories of the Milwaukee Bucks. Either they outright don’t care about the regular season, agree to not care about the regular season as a roster from just below the top (see: Giannis) to bottom or there’s real trouble in paradise.
