The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the New York Knicks on Sunday and that is their eighth loss against a team inside the Top 3 of the Eastern Conference. They haven’t won any. Doc Rivers is not worried. The Bucks, led by top NBA All-Star 2025 vote getter Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, lost three times to defending champions Boston Celtics and current league leaders Cleveland Cavaliers, and then twice to the Knicks. Common NBA fans would normally see this as an omen come playoff time but Rivers is not bothered. The one-time NBA champion coach made the comments while talking…

If Tucker Kraft is about taking a leadership role after the Green Bay Packers’ elimination from the 2024-25 season, Keisean Nixon is demanding a bigger cornerback responsibility. The loss to the Philadelphia Eagles seems to have waken up a lot of Packers players as many of them are now discussing how they desire to have a bigger role moving forward to the team. Nixon is among those. He no longer wants to be just a return specialist. He wants to be the main guy in his position. “I want to be CB1,” he told reporters on Monday at the Green…

Did the Green Bay Packers overachieve or underachieve this 2024 season? Tight end Tucker Kraft is putting things into perspective. His team exited the playoffs with a wildcard round loss to no. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles despite having a better regular season finish record-wise compared to last year. In comparison to the last season, they were able to reach the divisional round after they beat the Dallas Cowboys in the wildcard round. Kraft is holding on to the good things about their season and believe they gained a lot of things to build on for the next season. “I wouldn’t…

Richard Sherman does not think the Green Bay Packers are going all in with Jordan Love despite the team giving him a 4-year, $220 million contract. The Packers failed to get a second game in the playoffs just like last year after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wildcard round with Love playing what could be his worst game in a while. In his podcast, Sherman went off on how Love did not live up to the amount of the contract and how the Packers anticipated it. “I recognize that they are a young team. I don’t think Jordan…

Luke Fickell’s stint as Wisconsin Badgers football coach hasn’t been ideal as the team failed to qualify for any bowl game this season after 22 straight appearances. His cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean preaches patience. The Badgers finished 2024 season (5-7) worse than they did last season (7-6) and it does not help, too, that many players have decided to enter the transfer portal as the program scramble to get back to elite status. The team is busy with their offseason recruitment, trainings, and more and Fourqurean assures they are trending in the right direction. The team recently made three changes in…

Romeo Doubs failed to finish Green Bay Packers wildcard game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which is regretful because of three reasons. First, he is one of the key players in the team who can make immediate impact. Second, it is a playoff game. It was everything they worked for throughout the season. Third, his performance in that game could have had an impact for next season as he is entering his contract year. The 24-year-old wide receiver had heavier load on his shoulder coming into the game with Christian Watson out of the line-up because of injury in Week 18…

Josh Jacobs played big time for the Green Bay Packers in their wildcard round game against the Philadelphia Eagles, recording 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown. Those numbers were not enough as they fell to the no. 2 seed, ending their 2024 campaign with three straight losses going back from the last two weeks of the elimination round. Jacobs himself is aware that they were not enough against the much-favored Eagles and so, as early as now, he is already looking to improve for the 2025 season. Talking to reporters post-game, the veteran running-back hinted that he has…

Giannis Antetokounmpo discussed pride and competitiveness more than a week ago when his team lost to the Brooklyn Nets for a third time. It’s two months in to the season and looks like the Milwaukee Bucks are going back to their old habits. The Bucks fell hard against the New York Knicks, losing by 34 points, 106-140. Antetokounmpo scored 24 points while Damian Lillard had 22 although it is easy to say those points were not impactful enough in a game that they trailed for most of the night. The Greek Freak talked about how they failed to create spaces…

The Milwaukee Bucks lost by 22 points against the New York Knicks the first time they met this season. This was the time they were down bad as a team. Giannis Antetokounmpo thinks they are a better team now. Still, they lost. The two teams met again and the Bucks surrendered 140 points to finish the game down by 34 points. Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns combined for 74 points to frustrate their visitors. Antetokounmpo did not mince words about their performance on Sunday. He said the Knicks played harder than them. Three-point shooting is one of the main…

The New York Knicks repeated over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday and Doc Rivers thinks his team did not improve from the last time they met. He is specifically focused on their defense against Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns who scored 44 and 30, respectively. “We haven’t down well with them in two games. Haven’t guard Towns well. And he shot 58 percent so it is not just Jalen. The whole team’s 44 [percent] from the three. 58 from the two,” Rivers said post-game. Brunson had a field day on Sunday with his match-ups getting into foul trouble early. He…
