A nearly-perfect week lifts our spirits… sort of
It is a quiet sort of reflection upon the Milwaukee Bucks 2024-2025 season that a 2-1 week against cannon fodder competition should be celebrated as a spectacular achievement. That they were on the cusp of a perfect 3-0 dampens the mood a bit, but not nearly enough to knock the hosts of Deer Diaries (A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast!) off their game.
Kyle Carr and Adam Paris joined me last night to try and sort through the continuing mixed signals Milwaukee is emitting. With Giannis Antetokounmpo at the top of his scoring game, have we simply seen the team return to its roots once more? Will Adam pass his Pat-ernity Test, or will he waver on his support for Mr. Connaughton? Has Taurean Prince cemented his place as the most important veteran free agent acquisition of the summer? And what about a big rotation, anyways?
We tackled all that, plus our usual round of rapid fire questions (incl. rule number one in our personal utopias), I reviewed Robert Oster’s truly excellent Ng Special 16 ink, Kyle drags Keyon Dooling’s brief Bucks career back into the spotlight, and we close with our weekly predictions!
