Coming off a well-played six-game win streak, the Bucks stumbled in the Bay and in LA two nights later, but if you ask me, they’ve established a bit of a new pattern lately. I’ve read/heard others describe this year’s team as often taking “one step forward, one step back” or even “two steps back” at various points. If we forget about the Griffin half of the season, the latter expression seemed more apt before the All-Star break, particularly the win over Denver followed by the losses to undermanned squads in Miami and Memphis.
Since the break, though, it seems more like the inverse of what happened prior.
