The Milwaukee Bucks entered the second week of the NBA season at 1-1, tied for first in the Eastern Conference's Central Division.  Here's a look at what has happened in the past week for the team:

  • The team officially declined Joe Alexander's rookie contract for next season, making him a free agent after the season.  Still, Alexander says the team's decision will not deter him.
  • Michael Redd's MRI early in the week didn't look good - he'll be out at least another week with a left knee injury - the same knee he had surgery on last season.  Charlie Bell has gotten a couple starts in Redd's absence, and Jodie Meeks had a nice game off the bench Saturday night in Redd's place.
  • The team had three games this week, going 2-1.
    • The Bucks had a big lead in Tuesday's game against the Bulls, only to let it slip away late.  The Bucks fell to 1-2 on the season with the 83-81 loss.
    • Friday's game against the Timberwolves got the team back on the winning track, as the Bucks won 87-72.  The Bucks' defense was stout, holding the Wolves to just 39.2% shooting.
    • Saturday's home game against the Knicks began a six game homestand for the team, and they began the stretch on a good note, dominating throughout in the 102-87 victory.
  • The team ends the week 3-2, second place in the division, just percentage points behind the Bulls.
  • The upcoming week shows just two game for the Bucks - Wednesday at home against the Nuggets, and Saturday at home against the Warriors.  Can the Bucks increase their winning streak, currently at 2?  We'll find out!
