Deer Diaries, Ep. 178: Get Home, Get Right

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ At first they were lost, now they are found At first, the Milwaukee Bucks were, like, so done having gone 1-3 on their road trip to the Golden State. Then the team returned home, won two games, and wouldn’t you know it! They’re back. Kyle, Adam and I got together last night to bask in the afterglow of Bucks wins over the Sixers and Suns, talk about the successful return of Khris Middleton to the lineup, and issue apologies to friend of the podcast Bobby Portis for having had the nerve to consider trading him a few months ago. All that,...

Hitting 18 threes in the first half — the most by any team in a half all-time- — the Bucks halted a Suns run in the fourth quarter, leaving them stunned and still searching for answers. Bradley Beal became the true leader at point for the Suns, scoring 28 points and dishing out seven assists. The Suns as a team moved the ball well and as a team tallied 36 assists....

Rapid Recap: Bucks 140, Suns 129

Milwaukee explodes for 24 threes in win In Khris’ Middleton return to the lineup and in a game that didn’t feature Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks handled the Phoenix Suns, 140-129. NBA.com Box Score With Giannis ruled out as a late scratch with hamstring soreness, the Bucks really let it fly from the perimeter to tip this one off. They’d connect on 7-of-14 3PA in the opening quarter, helping them establish a 39-36 lead going into the second quarter. The 3-point ball continued to fall for the Bucks in the second quarter, especially for Bobby Portis. At the...

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns: Khris Middleton returns against KD

Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE via Take us back to Summer ‘21 The other night, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of an Embiid-less Philadelphia squad to get back in the W column. Now, a new challenger enters the arena: the Phoenix Suns. Surprisingly, both squads will enter this matchup at full strength (as long as the day-to-day guys play), so we should hopefully be in store for a fun one! Where We’re At Last time we saw the Bucks play, they had a pretty solid win over Philly. Giannis had 32 points with great efficiency—as he often does. Brook Lopez and Damian Lillard...

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports It’s been nearly six weeks since the forward sprained his ankle After something of a false alarm on Tuesday, Khris Middleton appears primed to return to the floor for the Bucks tomorrow against the Suns, the very same team where he sustained a significant left ankle sprain on February 6th when Kevin Durant stepped into his landing zone. As related by The Athletic’s Eric Nehm: Khris Middleton came down to speak with reporters after today's Bucks practice and confirmed that the plan is for him to play tomorrow vs. the Suns.

Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports Sacramento lit Milwaukee up from deep Ay yi yi. The Bucks got their you-know-whats handed to them by the Kings at Golden 1 Center last night, mercifully ending a tough road trip through each of California’s NBA arenas with a 129-94 drubbing. Prior to this, Milwaukee had beaten Sacramento fifteen straight times, dating back eight years. De’Aaron Fox had 29 for the Kings with 25 off the bench from Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malik Monk. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a game-high 30, but no other Buck had more than eleven. Game...
