Usually when a team has a 2-2 week there isn’t a lot to celebrate. It marks an average week where you did some things well but did other things poorly. This, however, was not an average 2-2 week for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The started off the week with a great comeback victory over the Portland Trailblazers. Milwaukee was down 4 points with less than 20 seconds remaining. Some huge plays by O.J. Mayo, Michael Carter-Williams, and Greg Monroe sealed the win in thrilling fashion.

The middle of the week wasn’t so kind to the Bucks. Milwaukee got beaten badly by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers destroyed the Bucks in the second half and J.J. Redick impersonated an All Star NBA player.

The Bucks also lost to the Toronto Raptors but it wasn’t for lack of effort. Milwaukee hung with a tough and talented Toronto squad. Despite the loss Milwaukee’s defense was pretty good and they had a realistic chance to pull off the victory, cutting the fourth quarter deficit to 4 points at one point.

Finally, the Bucks ended the week on a glorious note. They took down the 24-0 Golden State Warriors in a convincing way, with a 108-95 victory. The Bucks snapped the second longest win streak ever and were the first all season to prove that Golden State is not perfect.

Since the Bucks beat the Warriors I’ve been blasting this jam on repeat. My downstairs neighbors are not pleased.

Let’s get to the player of the week rankings!
