Bucks Lose Opener in Skiles Debut

In what appears to be the start of a long season, the Milwaukee Bucks are proving that the road to recovery is going to be a long one by opening on the road with a 108 - 95 loss at Chicago. The Bucks committed 19 turnovers and allowed Chicago to shoot 50% from the field. Chicago was able to generate 20 fast break points to the Bucks 1. 1 FAST BREAK POINT!! Seriously!?

I didn't think Skiles was the right choice from the beginning and although this is just the first game, I think it's safe to say that while these Bucks may, personnel wise, be different, they are still lacking in some key areas. Primarily defense and ball distribution. Also, they lack a presence in the middle, but that has been the case for what seems like an eternity.

I understand it's early, but the more things change, the more they really stay the same.

Let's hope I'm wrong
