(LEARFIELD) — The Bucks were an elite team last season when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard were on the court at the same time.
The problem is, that’s only happened in 42 of 82 games — and none during the playoffs.
During a podcast appearance with Jeff Teague, Lillard admitted that the transition to a new team was more difficult than he expected.
Add in a mid-season coaching transition and you have plenty of reasons to expect improvement this time around.
The advanced age of Milwaukee’s Big Three will determine whether the chemistry finally develops.
