Brew Hoop: Bucks’ Season Ends Not With A Bang But A Whimper

Glass half full or glass half empty? Depends how you want to look at the 2009-2010 Milwaukee Bucks season now that it’s over thanks to the Hawks’ 95-74 victory. For at least the moment, Bucks’ fans are feeling more than just half empty at the moment but could fill up very soon

…As much as the Bucks’ season ended with a thud—or a couple thuds, considering the combined performances of games six and seven—it’s tough not to feel like we could be at the beginning of something special. For the first time in quite a while, the Bucks have put themselves in a rather unusual position: their fans and the national media will actually be expecting something from them in 2010/11. Whether they handle the role of up-and-comers as well as they handled the role of underdogs is a question for another day.

And those glasses? In the big picture they don’t feel very empty at all. So to Andrew, Brandon, Carlos, Charlie, Dan, Ersan, Jerry, John, Kurt, Luc, Luke, Michael (sure), Primoz (OK), and Royal (everybody!)…cheers. We’ll all be raising a glass to you tonight.
