Colin Cowherd’s Lack of Bucks Knowledge is Impressive

by Charlie in Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks are the hotness right now. If you look anywhere in the national media, they’re everywhere. Giannis Antetokounmpo did an interview with Adrian Wojnarowski yesterday. The Ringer just did an article about how they do not have enough beat writers. ESPN is talking recklessly about Giannis and the Bucks. There are hundreds of others. But no one was dumber than Colin Cowherd of FOX Sports. I know that we’re not supposed to feed the trolls, but you need to watch how wrong Cowherd is about the Bucks team. I started writing out how many things Cowherd is wrong about in this three minute segment. Let’s dive in, shall we? t

1. Smartly resting players – Cowherd seems to forget that Giannis and the Bucks are playing 32 minutes or so a game. There is not one Milwaukee player ranks in the top 40 of minutes this season. Giannis gets about eight minutes of rest per game, and yes, he will not play in Atlanta on Sunday early afternoon. He also could miss the Monday game against Brooklyn. Once the Bucks clinch the one seed and the best record in the league, there will be significant rest for the regular season. Bucks will be well-rested heading into the playoffs.

2. Winning road games – If you did a simple look at ESPN or FOX Sports website, you’ll see the Bucks are second in road wins for the season. They only trail Golden State by .5 game. They’re battled tested on the road and seemingly avoid dumb losses away from Fiserv Forum not counting Phoenix and Utah

3. “Great teams figure out” – Cowherd includes a bunch of NBA teams that ‘figured it out’ with forgetting that the Bucks are being compared to the great teams of the league by people who are smart. Milwaukee has 43 wins by 10 or more points. Teams that usually have those type of double digit numbers end up winning the title or playing for the NBA Finals. Look at the teams the Bucks are with in the regular season with those numbers. It is the same teams you mentioned, Colin.

4. Not winning to winning – Look, I get it’s a radio show and you don’t have a computer on you, but it is amazing how things get forgotten. Golden State lost in the first round then won the NBA Finals. They had one playoff win under their belt. If we want to get technical, I can give Cowherd this point, but teams flip switches. It has happened before.

5. Spurs angle – Forgetting that Mike Budenholzer is a longtime Spurs assistant and that maybe he is incorporating some of the things he learned from there is absolutely precious.

I may have said this on Twitter or a blog, but Cowherd cannot stand Wisconsin for some reason. I’m not sure if he hates Miller Lite (Probably mad at all the corn syrup), brats or cheese, but something hurt him in this state. Sorry, dude.

Charlie.
