Milwaukee Bucks headed toward All-Star break

(WNFL) – The Milwaukee Bucks will have two home games before the All-Star break — tomorrow (Tuesday) night against Boston, and Thursday night against Washington. The Bucks have lost five straight — including all three on their Western road trip which ended with a three-point loss at Utah last Friday night. Milwaukee continues to slowly drop out of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt, now seven games behind Detroit for the eighth-and-final post-season slot with 30 left. The Bucks remain 13th among the 15 Eastern Conference teams at 20-and-32 — and the Bucks are already hearing trade rumors about trading center Greg Monroe and point guard Michael Carter-Williams before the February 18th deadline. Coach Jason Kidd says the Bucks will hear trade rumors, and his young players must learn to “just play” and not get consumed about what might happen.
