The Milwaukee Bucks entered the NBA All-Star break on the heels of a two-game losing streak.
As a result, many were genuinely worried about the organization despite making a blockbuster trade to acquire Damian Lillard in the offseason.
On top of that, the Bucks made a questionable decision to hire Doc Rivers as the head coach of the team in the middle of the season.
Well, the Bucks found the perfect way to silence their critics following a 112-107 win over the first seed in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Bucks also registered a solid win over the Denver Nuggets, and keeping that in mind, NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins had a great message about the organization via his official Twitter handle.
“In the last 5 games the Bucks has 2 signature wins under their belt… the Nuggets and Timberwolves, which tells me that they might just have that ‘It’ Factor!” Perkins said.
In the last 5 games the Bucks has 2 signature wins under their belt… the Nuggets and Timberwolves, which tells me that they might just have that “It” Factor!!! They just need to be consistent and continue to establish their identity on both ends of the floor. Carry on…

As Perkins mentioned, the Bucks have two signature wins over the Nuggets and the Timberwolves over the last five games.
But at the same time, they also lost against the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies.
It’s obvious that when the Bucks are on their A-game, they are a team to be reckoned with, but they are yet to show consistency under Doc Rivers’ coaching.
After all, if the Bucks enter the playoffs without excellent synergy, they could be eliminated in the first round of the postseason, similar to last year.
As of now, the Bucks are the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a solid 36-21 record.
Can the franchise end the season on a high note? Fans will find out sooner rather than later.
