Fans feel more optimistic about the team and its staff
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we asked you about the Bucks’ defense, Khris Middleton, and the starting lineup. Here are the highlights:
- The vast majority (83%) of respondents are buying the Bucks’ defensive uptick, but about 52% attribute it to the recently easier schedule.
- 84% are generally more optimistic about the Bucks since they’ve surged back to .500.
- However, 69% are pessimistic about Khris Middleton’s chances to return this weekend, even though he cleared an important hurdle by playing five-on-five this week.
- 61% of fans polled feel Andre Jackson Jr. should be Milwaukee’s starting shooting guard, and 76% would like to see Delon Wright demoted from the rotation once Middleton is healthy.
- Doc Rivers and Jon Horst saw their approval ratings break even for the first time this year, though a plurality of our voters are still undecided on Rivers.
- In a big swing from last week, twice as high a percentage (38%) feel this team can win the title, and those who said no fell from 66% to 42%.
