NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Golden State Warriors

Previous: . Milwaukee Bucks. 19. team. 89. The Milwaukee Bucks are the conundrum of the league right now. They have young stars in Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo and a capable supporting cast, but they have not been able to play like the same team night in and night out. They took the Golden State Warriors to the closing seconds on Sunday night, but in their previous game they lost by 23 points to the Miami Heat and totaled only 73 points on the night. Losing Khris Middleton for the year was a big blow for this team and they have yet to find a player that can fill his role. It’s not likely that they’ll be able to anyway, Middleton is not the type of player that teams have an excess of. If Milwaukee can figure out a way to space the floor more or at the least keep teams from packing the paint against Antetokounmpo and Parker they could be a stealth team to look out for in the Eastern Conference. Or they can hope to keep getting triple-doubles from the Greek Freak and let everything else just work itself out. Either plan is a pretty good one in my opinion.. (6-7)
