When the Milwaukee Bucks grow up, there’s little doubt they’d love to be the Indiana Pacers. At least that’s the ideal scenario, given the way things have been heading over the past few years. After the Malice at the Palace, the Pacers tore down from the top and slowly started to rebuild. But they didn’t [...]
Recently, I had the chance to exchange emails with noted basketball analyst Dave Berri. Berri was one of few analysts who saw potential in the Bucks at the start of the season, pegging them to finish sixth in the East.
