You know, in a way it is kind of poetic. At first glance it seems odd that the Milwaukee Bucks, of all teams, would be responsible for putting to rest so many lengthy winning streaks. However, could you really pick a better city to be most famous for raining on everyone's parade? I'm starting to think this stat transcends the strategical aspects of basketball. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the Milwaukee Bucks players are so miserable playing in the middle Wisconsin that they only put forth their best effort when they know they can potentially disappoint a large viewing audience. I bet those guys wearing '24-1' shirts weren't even Bucks fans. They were just Milwaukee residents relishing the rare opportunity to make the rest of the basketball viewing world as depressed as they are on a day-to-day basis. What else could possibly explain this trend?
This is like Eli Manning, of all people, being the one person that can beat Tom Brady in SuperBowl. Never mind kryptonite. If the only way to take down Superman was to cook his food in peanut oil that would be the equivalent of the Milwaukee Bucks constantly beating the best teams NBA history has to offer. This is like David's scrawny little brother constantly bullying Goliath. It couldn't possibly make less sense. I mean, the part where the losing team goes on to win a championship makes perfect sense, and that portion of the stat will probably stay true to form with this year's Warriors. Still, I can't decide whether or not Milwaukee being greatness' achilles heel is irrational, perfect, or some odd combination of both. Either way, the internet is a ruthless place...
