The Bucks saw their advantage evaporate under a deluge of three-pointers in the third and fourth quarters but survived in the final seconds.

While other teams seem to be improving, the Bucks appear to be stagnant. They need to improve their ball awareness, and find a rhythm together, on the floor.
 
I guess I look at this team a bit different. Leads the league in scoring, leads the league in point differential, tied for 2nd best record in the league. Are they perfect far from it but there is not a dominant team in the league right now. I thought Philly by adding Butler would be better but they are just ok right now. Yep a bad loss or 2 but each team has a few each year. But they are 2-0 vs Toronto, split with GS I still think they finish 2-4 in the East
 
Different? I don't see where what I said compares to what you said. I think the stats you pointed out are great. They don't alter the fact that they need to bond more to play better. At this point it's Giannis, Bledsoe, and Middleton doing all the damage. They need to have more guys stepping up and giving more quality minutes. At this point, I think getting Lopez was a great move. He has more blocked shots than the next two guys combined, and that was lacking. Now, getting all their games to mesh is the key. Tighten the defense. Get Brogdon healthy.
 
I guess I don’t this team as stagnant. Ball movement is so much better earlier in the year, Connnaughton has been a pleasant surprise and Wilson is giving nice minutes off the bench. And defense compared to last year is night and day I wish Snell was more consistent but that’s a small gripe. And the Hill trade was good and will look better playoff time And I don’t see what other teams have improved. Boston is still a little bit of a disappointment and while Butler has been good it still has not made them dominant.
 
You never stand still. You move forward, get better, and find a rhythm that's consistent. As good as the Bucks are, they are inconsistent, and that's what hurts most.

When they finally gel, assuming they do, and possibly add another wide body to work with Lopez, we could be seeing the best team in the NBA. It isn't the star power that moves a team forward. It's the role players around them who make their mark when asked, and they know how to be part of the flow of the game, not become the flow.
 
Cant see them added another big with Wilson and Maker already on the roster plus Buds system is more built around the perimeter. If I had a wish it would have been to get Korver but thats not happening
