By winning in Minnesota, the Bucks continued their march forward with an eighth win in eight games. The 2021 champions still haven’t lost this season, and starting a drill with an 8/8 is even a first for the franchise.
It’s one more mark for Giannis Antetokounmpowho continues to write the history of the Bucks for a few seasons.
“It’s great to be a part of this. It should not be overlooked”assures the Greek at ESPN. “I’m really happy to experience this and to have a team capable of starting the season with eight wins in eight games. »
In league history, only fourteen teams have managed to start the season with a 10-0. To emulate them, Wisconsin players will have to beat the Thunder and then the Hawks. It’s doable, even without Khris Middleton or Pat Connaughton. But before projecting himself, the 2019 and 2020 MVP is delighted with the level of play of the Bucks.
“I’m especially happy to see us building good habits. 8-0 is good, but first of all I’m proud of the way we play. We defend together, we circulate the ball, we have open shots. We are collective. I hope these good habits will continue, for the next game, the other 74 and the playoffs. »
The franchise regular season record is stuck at 66 wins. It dates from the 1970/1971 season, the year of the Bucks’ first title with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. It may be a goal, but like the MVP of the 2021 Finals, Jrue Holiday focuses on substance above all else.
“It feels good to be 8-0. We start with confidence, we feel that we are putting in place good habits, that we are playing well. We win in several ways: sometimes it’s tight, sometimes it’s wide, sometimes we come back. explains the former Pelicans player. ” It’s awesome “, continues Wesley Matthews. “We play to win all the matches and for the moment we manage to do so. »
