The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA. Let’s take a moment and be thankful for what they’ve given us this season.

The Milwaukee Bucks are 13-4 and just spanked the top seed in the Western Conference by 43 points. Yes, it’s a good time to be a Bucks’ fan.

That wasn’t always the case, however. Not even six months ago fans were flabbergasted by this team. Joe Prunty had taken over for Jason Kidd and was proving to be equally as inadequate. Still, the Bucks somehow pushed the Boston Celtics to seven games in the first round of the playoffs despite their coaching.

Fast forward to today and everything is Gucci. Milwaukee is clicking on all cylinders and look to be one of the two or three best teams in the Eastern Conference. Anybody who isn’t taking them seriously is doing so at their own peril.

As a tribute to Thanksgiving Day, Dairyland Express is releasing a five-part series that shares five reasons why we are thankful for each of the Wisconsin sports teams we cover (Bucks, Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Wisconsin football and Wisconsin basketball). So without further ado, here are five reasons we are thankful for the Bucks in 2018-19.
