Milwaukee Bucks
This season has been a period of transition for the Milwaukee Bucks so far, as they've seen their head coach depart and a new coach, Adrian Griffin, come on board, and a new all-star player, Dame Lillard, join their team. Despite being one of the favorites to win the NBA title this season, they have gone 5-3 so far and recently lost to the Pacers 126-124 despite Giannis Antetokounmpo's season high of 54 points. Griffin was ejected from the game for arguing a call, and Lillard is currently nursing a calf injury, making him questionable for the next game. The Bucks have done well offensively, but are 25th on defense, not quite living up to their offensive greatness.
