Milwaukee Bucks season is upon us, and they’re poised to have a great year.
The Bucks finished just short of the NBA finals last season for the first time since 1974. In this upcoming season, they’ll try to get back to the finals and win for the second time in franchise history.
The Bucks are the favorite in the East after they made the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
This year, the roster got stronger with the additions of Wesley Matthews, three-point shooter Kyle Korver, big man Robin Lopez and the brother of the reigning MVP Thanasis Antetokounmpo.
But with these additions, the Bucks lost former ROTY Malcolm Brogdon to free agency.
The Bucks are projected to get fewer wins than last year but make it to the finals as the Raptors, who knocked them out last year, lost their star player.
If the Bucks make it back to the Eastern Conference Finals, they’ll likely be the favorite to win. It’s too early in the season to make any solid predictions beyond that.
With reigning MVP Antetokounmpo, 2018 all-star Khris Middleton and 2018 Coach of the Year Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks can make it back to the Eastern Conference Finals and bring Milwaukee its first NBA Championship since the Milwaukee Bucks’ 1971 season.
