The Milwaukee Bucks have, for the past two decades, been a frustrating franchise to follow. Fans have withstood the win-now moves, the ill-fated personnel decisions, and the sub-par performances, and kept coming back. Most of them, anyway. It’s hard to find a casual Bucks fan in Wisconsin because...there aren’t very many right now.
But casual fans often find their way through the woodwork when the playoffs come around, and many observers will root for their city’s team simply out of the desire for short-term success. That Giannis guy is pretty good! That Middleton guy sure can shoot!
