Bucks' Playoff Hopes Dim as Giannis Returns

About this episode

The Milwaukee Bucks playoff hopes dim as Giannis Antetokounmpos return fails to spark a turnaround. Despite a brief winning streak earlier, recent losses to the Knicks and Bulls have derailed their push. Hovering around .500 all season, the Bucks now face an uphill battle to secure a play-in spot, with both the Hawks and Hornets surging. The latest loss to Atlanta feels like a significant blow, and with just twenty-one games left, many doubt the Bucks ability to rally, giving them a mere two out of ten chance of making the play-in tournament.

For the NBA, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Milwaukee Bucks playoff push is looking grim. Even after Giannis and Tato co-own, Bo return from a long injury layoff. The team sits five games out of a play-in spot, with just 21 games left in the regular season. They actually hit a bit of a stride without him earlier, but recent losses to the Nixon Bulls have thrown them off track completely. Journalists and fans are shaking their heads because the Bucks have hovered around 500 all year, even when Giannis suits up. To sneak into the play-in tournament, Milwaukee must leapfrog the Hawks or Hornets, but both squads are surging with Atlanta on a five-game win streak. And Charlotte riding six straight victories. That latest defeat to Atlanta feels like a big setback, and with time running short, many doubt the Bucks can rally, bumping their chances to Aslim. 2 out of 10 at best.
