There is a strange defect at the heart of the Milwaukee Bucks machinery. Perhaps it can be labeled a quirk, or I can (probably accurately) be accused of reading into things that aren’t there; trying to make sense of an abstraction I view through digital screens. The defect I speak of is the apparent need for large segments of a veteran roster to be vociferously pushed into the competitive fire by one of their colleagues.
A defect is going too far. It implies something unnatural or wholly negative when in reality what we are looking at is the reality of these individuals’ personalities and how they’ve grown used to the circumstances around them.
