Currently, the Bucks now have the longest active winning streak this season, their record is 21 w 3 l and 15 Winning streak.

Bucks now are playing against the Pelicans and it looks like they are going to extend this to 16.

These are the record that they will have to break.

Winning streak
33 winning streak Los Angeles Lakers /1971–72* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Basketball_Association_longest_winning_streaks)

Best record in the NBA
Golden state Warriors 73-9 (https://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/best_seasons.htm)

Still pretty long before they manage to surpass the record of Lakers though. But judging by the fact that they already made it halfway is pretty amazing in of itself, especially since the season as of now is much more competitive and developed. If Bucks actually manage to make it to the 32nd win streak, now that would be a game to watch since they'd be pretty much making another legend. Their recent records are actually amazing and show that they actually stand a chance in achieving this though.

Once that streak would reach to 20, you can hear more hype about them making history, for now, it's too early to tell but there's always the possibility here.  I am actually having fun watching the team every time they play as in the past few games, they look very unbeatable.

A poll added would make this thread more interesting.

Record is now 22-3 (16 winning streak)

Next five games:
Grizzlies
Cavaliers
Mavs
Lakers
Knicks

Facing Mavs and Lakers is going to be tough. The other three looks winnable but you never know what's going to happen.

I personally don't think they can.

16 winning streak is not even half of the 33 record of Los Angeles Lakers in 1972 so what record might they have if they get even at least 20 streak?
though they may take a team Highest record and that is enough for celebration.
and their playing style this year is very promising so i will definitely look for another streak this year.
supporting this for much interesting wait.

I agree with you here, Mavs and Lakers would be their acid test as they have defeated the Clippers a week ago (can't forget that game as i lost substantial amount on that one  :) ). If they can dispose both the Lakers and Mavs then there's a high possibility that they could break that 33 games winning streak of the Lakers.

After that win on the Clippers, i followed their game and bet on them, fortunately haven't lost since.  ;D

They can handle the Mavericks and the Lakers as both of these games are played at their home court, look what they did to the Clippers, they beat the Clippers by 28 points.

As requested, the poll was created, this thread will remain open as the streak continues or the bucks loss record will reach to 10.

And the streak continues.  I was not able to update the thread for 4 days but then the Bucks still keep winning.

increase to 18 winning streak now..... can they bring this to 20 winning streak? We will SEE.

There's a 90% chance that there winning streak will increase to 19 tomorrow as they will play with Luka-less Dallas Mavericks at home. The Bucks will see to it that they will win this one before facing the Lakers, their hardest obstacle so far.

This is really a historic run not just for the Bucks but for the whole NBA.

They are still in the pace for the 73 win, isn't it? So this will be interesting if they can match GSW record. 20 is the franchise record, so I'm sure that will be the initial target for now. So let see how they do with Dallas and then Lakers.

Looks like Lakers will be the gatekeeper for their 20th win streak, which is in all honesty not going to be easy. I expect a lot from Bucks right now and i hope they could bypass Lakers for the 20th, which is I am sure a cause for celebration for their fans and even non fans for a milestone in NBA right now.

Dallas I believe they have quite a high chance of winning but it would still depend on the performance of their players.

There is still a big road to follow to catch up with Golden Warriors but they are in the right path.I think they are a surprise this time because I don’t ever remember the Bucks fighting in these levels.I think if they continue with their form it is a nice addition to the already great NBA.

But before GSW, there's Lakers. I know Bucks are gonna fight Dallas before them but they have a good odds against Dallas already at this point. Lakers, on the other hand, could prove to be a challenge to them. Continuing a win streak isn't easy, and once noticed, the enemy team would do their best to prevent them from continuing. If a normal match requires intensive research, defeating someone with a large win streak requires more intensive than the norm research.

Every time a game is played, every time a player has a good game, every time there’s an opportunity to create history. By now, the best way to achieve is to continuously play and let others see your progress, and with Antetokounmpo on their roster, they are one of the strong teams this year. Maybe there would be progress, let's wait and see.

Lakers is 14-1 in Away games, while Bucks is 13-1 in Home games and if they win against Mavs it will be 14-1 Home games record. They are also both standing at 24-3. Both protecting some kind of streak. Lakers protecting their Away winning streak. This will be fun to watch.

+1 on this,maybe they can beat Mavs but Lakers/they will go through the hardest game of their professional career lol.

they are doing good no doubt about that but i don't think this is enough to go breaking their history and making new one .

They would face up Mavs next and i can say that they do have a chance on stealing another win and as per report;
"Doncic is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining a moderate right ankle sprain in Saturday's game against the Heat, "

The question here is on Lakers which would be on Friday and this is where the true hardship starts.  :)

They are already writing history.
They are doing it for the Milwaukee and if they keep performing like that they are going to make a record for the whole NBA. Giannis deserves to get a ring this season and I hope that he will be a part of Bucks history.

I reckon about Giannis deserves to get the ring this time but it wouldn't be easy for them just because want them to take it.

There's an awaited match for Bucks and Lakers and let's see who will be the one that will remain stable with their position. I guess the majority here will bet for Lakers but I want to see Bucks dominate them but this is just a mere guess.

It wont really be that easy for bucks to take out Lakers.On this game we would see on who'se better among the two and would able to retain their streak.

Im not a Lakers nor a Bucks fan but i do recognize Giannis performance but that would really be that enough to beat Lakers?

It will be not enough because of Lebron and Davis. However, the equaliser here is the bench player of Bucks, experience wise they have the upper hand. And if they bring their A game with them against the Lakers, most likely they have a chance. So I agree that this we are all eagerly awaiting for this game. Both are motivate, so let's see.

Their performance showed a lot of graceful moves to beat the opponent. However Bucks shouldn't take for granted the possibility that they will be undertaken by other team, they must put this certain aspects that might hinder their wins. Being too aggressive should be controlled, and avoid outside shoots just to get the three points because I've seen a lot of loss ball due to that actions. Playing ball inside and near the ring is a must and it's a helpful thing to make it towards the history.

As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is healthy, who is their star player; there is a big possibility that their 18th straight win will continue. The Bucks are dominating the eastern conference and their standing are the same with Lakers who dominating the western conference. Their both roster is solid and there are big possibilities that these 2 teams will face each other in playoffs.

The streak was stopped by a Dallas Mavericks without Luka.. They need to start again to break the all time best of winning streak which they still have a chance. Also, the best record is still alive, I just don't expect that they would loss against the Dallas.

Yup, I wasn't expecting them to lose to a Doncic-less Mavs also and at home court too.

The 73-9 record held by GSW will probably stay for another decade. If there's any team that could break that this season, it's most likely the Lakers but the chances are slim.

End of winning streak but this is really promising this year, and I'sure Lakers will still on their run to regain the title.
The NBA team this year is really great, with a spread out of the NBA legends though I feel sad for the Dubs nation for being on the bottom this year. Anyway, Milwaukee already have the chance to play in the play off and can still go for the finals.

Exactly, I thought that the this one is already in the bag for the Bucks since Luka is not going to play. Giannis had a monster game, but Mavericks with Porzingis and Curry at the help keep the lead for Dallas eventhough there are attempts from the Bucks to keep the game close.

I guess Mavericks will have to start all over again. But this is a big blow psychologically because they lost without the other teams best players.

Ouch, Giannis is healthy scoring closed to 50 points however, Luka-less Dallas ended up their winning streak at 18. They might be dominating the Eastern conference, but it looks like Western conference is very tough to go through. Their next stop will be Lakers, so will Bucks go on a 0-2 after having a good run?

That's what i'm thinking also, Bucks which have high confidence because of their winning streak will destroy Luka-less Mavericks but i'm wrong and that only means that anything can happen around the NBA and there are no sure bet here lol.

I remember the Mavs' game against the Heat over the weekend wherein they were down by 20+ but still they manage to get the game into overtime though they loss but still it's a big comeback knowing that Luka is out already.



You mean "Bucks"?

Yes, it's have a psychological effect on them so better prepare your crypto when they clash against the Lakers  :).

It will be different story with the Lakers, maybe they got so relax and they take the mavericks lightly in this game but after this loss, for sure they won't loss focus, they will continue to play hard and aim to establish the best record in the NBA.

i thought it was Lakers that will cut the streak was not expecting the Mavs without the ace player Luca will do the honor.
anyway this is just for winning streak but the chance for championship is still long days ahead.and many things may change as time passes by in this season.

This is an upset but this is NBA, anything can happen. Most of us do not expect the MAVS to defeat the Bucks. Even the sportbooks have double digit plus on MAVs.

Maybe, but they are professionals. To them, this is just one game. They'll learn from it and move on.

Unfortunately they got beaten by Dallas as for today. I want to root for their winning streak as Giannis did improved a lot this and last season. Besides they are subtle about their development in the past years, and they got quite their name in the east. Well, on the other hand it is quite tough to have winning streak as this season there are lots of good players and coaches that are now on the league. And besides, this generation is far more different than 1971 - 1972 league.

Bucks need another fure superstar on his side gianis is a monster but unless they acquire another star they will be kust a runner up , remember boston is still there on the chase, at the same timw bledsoe should focus more his games is not as effective as before they need to do more, because if they make it to the finals west still has the better teams this year

Do the streak been ended by the Dallas, still, they have a chance to break the record of the Golden State of most wins in a season and I can see that it is still a possibility, as well as for the Lakers as I know both of these teams are chasing for it. And still, I'm expecting they may be the Eastern Conference Finals Champion, just a fair guess.

Nobody expected them to lose against a Dallas team without Doncic but the whole team showed that they are better right now overall and not just thanks to Doncic in this game, Dallas has to keep this up without Doncic if they want to show everyone they are good without him too and they are great with him on the floor.

Bucks may have lost this game but that doesn't take away from how amazing they are doing right now, coach Bud learned from the best and he is laying the foundations of a great dynasty right now.

The record of GSW could be broken very soon tho, I am not saying this year but we should not forget that teams didn't tanked back in the day, even the worse team usually came up and played their best, nowadays top teams have at least 20-30 easy games that they know they will win no matter what and another 20-30 that they should be winning, only 20-25 games are challenging and if any team beats whoever they should beat and only lose half of what they should lose they will be very close to breaking that record.

For now it's still a fair guess as east side do have Sixers and Celtics who also chasing the same fate. Milwaukee's attempt to make a straight winnings history already been ended by the Doncic less Mavs. Not even the power performances of Giannis able to continue their journey. But you are correct as the chase for most numbers of winnings is still achievable for them if they will push adding winning streak to the tally sheet.

They don't have to until the Lakers match because Milwaukee Bucks just lost to Dallas. Their match broke their streak which shocked a lot of fans as we thought it will be a longer streak or even will be broken by the Lakers.

But we don't have to wait for that match and it's a good streaking stop by Dallas because fans don't have to think about records anymore. We just have to see the best performance by Friday.

The discussion is now turning into a general one. Maybe OP can close this thread and take this to the NBA considered official discussion thread.

I don't understand why all of a sudden, you guys think that Bucks will make history just because of their 18th game winning streak. Without touching it to at least 30 winnings streak, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Miami Heat's 27 winning streaks last 2013 with LBJ, Wade, and Bosh didn't even create rumors about the possible establishing a new record of winning streak. They are way stronger compare to the Bucks 2019.

Making up some search about stats of winning streaks by Bucks

20     Milwaukee Bucks    1970–71*    

18    Milwaukee Bucks    2019–20    In progress

They able to reach 20 streak on 1971 so it isnt really bad to recognize that 18th straight wins on 2019
but sadly Mavs do take it down.

Their streak is ended, it is kind of sad but I think that is fine. They can break another record as far as I know GS is holding it right now, which is in the lowest this season, hope Steph is fine though. I don't care how many records this break, as long as Giannis can prove that he can step up, I am so fine with that, and as far as I know he's looking forward to a team that I think stopped their run when he's playing with Greece.

18th win streak wasn't easy for today's league. Looking upon the bucks line up they barely even had star players. Mostly it was about the dominance of Giannis under the ring. And Khris's fine playing. Comparing it to Lakers 1971 - 1972 wherein 3's aren't a big deal and the league was all about hook shot and dunks it was quite easy for them to achieve such winning streak though, and in addition they even had star players like Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain that are now legends. So, 18th winning streak was itself good enough, and they have prove themselves a formidable team now in the league.


Heat's 27 winning streaks was a big news here in my country. May be in your town wasn't, but here in my country specially in my town it was all around in news papers, magazines, news and social media.

Ahmm because they are the current strongest team in the other conference? I guess that's the reason why people tend to think that maybe (just a maybe) there's also a possibility for them to beat or at least equalize what Lakers did ;D.
Simply because they're also as solid as rock back in those days compared to Bucks which only have Giannis as their legit ace. Chill dude, don't take this too seriously :D. Let others enjoy making their own predictions and telling their own insights.

The Bucks should not be hindered by just breaking their winning streak. Of course everything has to end which include their streak. I don't know if they can manage to also break the record set by the warriors of 73-9 w/l record but let's see for it's too early to decide.

After their loss against a Mavs team that didn't have their best player I doubt they could break the warriors best regular season record. With only 30 games played they already have 4 losses, there's still 50 games to be played and a lot of possibilities for other teams to pull a few upsets against them. They need another long win streak if they want to have a chance at breaking the best winning record.

sadly Bucks did not continue the streak as the Mavs stop their run to new record high ,i am very positive on this one as the team shows domination  for more than 15 streak but things don't happen always on our side so lets move on and just continue the support being a Fan(if you are one lol)

---

for OP @Kasabus since the streak is over,maybe it is time to Lock this thread as there is no relative conversation to come in future.

They will be facing Lakers who also have the same standing both have 24-4 records they are both the top 1 team from their respective division
It's another test for Giannis if they are still in the mission of trying to make an history while he's the franchise face of this team. While in the
Lakers side who also doing a great job the 1-2 punch of AD and LBJ are very effective, defense needs to have different strategy to make a good
stop between this two solid super star.

It's good to have a benchmark for their capability man, and it could help us analyze more often times. Bulks will be hindered when they missed out their defense over the opponents, but if they'll make it smoothly without any barriers of strong defense; of course winning chance is already granted for the team.

Bucks starting to create a long streak again, their on a 3 winning streak now, it's too early but they've been showing enough to convince people that they can easily win games even the favorites in this season to win the NBA finals, they beat the Lakers recently which we all see are still struggling now, so there is no reason for them not to beat a weaker.

I am just so confident that they'll make history this season.

The Mavs beat the bucks and that cause the bucks to stop their 18 win streak. 18 win streak is the longest win streak of their franchise history. The bucks is leading the NBA in terms of win and lose. Their standing is 27 win and only have 4 losses. I also know that they will create a history in this current season because their star player which is Giannis Antetokounmpo is in a solid state and a good health.

Ok let's look at their schedule and see what are the chances of them of creating another streak:


https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/MIL/milwaukee-bucks/schedule/regular/

So that will be there schedule for the next month, so I would say that they have a good chance that they will rack up a good streak again, unless some bad luck struck their team, (injuries)

all that 14 teams seems to be carry by Bucks(however there are some things may occur so lets not be over confident)but if the Bucks shows same play like what they did this past 3 games/then 17 straight wins is waiting for them.

crossing fingers lol,because we know that everything may happen

Sixers will be a big test of the Bucks in the next game. I'm not saying that they're going to loss, but it's going to be interesting as Philly is in the 5th position in the East.

And then Boston few games down the ladder. And I think the rest of their schedule are pretty much a sure win, in my opinion. And as long as Giannis is healthy and the second unit contributing, chances are they're going on at least ten games here.

I believe that the Bucks and Giannis are going to have troubles when facing Boston.
Sixers play very well and it will be indeed an interesting game, however I don't think that they are going to be close to Bucks' performance. Milwaukee has a variety of players that can give scoring solutions to the team right now.

When it comes to versatility and their bench performance i do really agree with this one which they can really give out those scoring solution no matter
on who would be the opponent.About into their next games i can see that Boston and Sixers would really be the teams that wont really be an easy game for
them but as said we cant conclude though yet ball is round and anything can happen along the way.

It all be possible to carry more winning streak for the upcoming games. They are apparently driving a better play compared last year and Giannis has already got some lessons for their losses last season. It has to prove that he can make a big shoot and it is so much help to have a chance and break the record but its gonna be a tough play they should have. Only they need not get injured especially for Giannis otherwise, they ended the same last season.

I agree, them and Toronto are the two teams right now that has really improved a lot. I say Toronto because everyone thought that when Kawhi left, the team will be in disarray, But look at them right now, they are doing very good even with Leonard.

And then we have the Bucks who have gotten so much experienced last year, they fell short to the eventual champions, but they learn from their mistakes and we can see this season that they really improved with Giannis leading them. I would say that they are going to build another winning streak.

Looked how the Bucks team working on it, they are also hunger to win the finals and that is their goal right now( I believe everyone is aiming the same) but the best one will get the prize.

Toronto is having competitive players, yes it was a big loss for them when Leonard leave the team but believing that they could still win more basket as they are still capable of. But of course, they are not strong enough to reach the finals. But anyway, they succeed last year and that is already a great achievement. May they have to give space for another team to win also.

Oh well, as I have said, Sixers will be a big test for them and eventually Philly's defense put a clamp on Giannis, he just score 18 points (8-27 FG, 0-8 3PT) one of his worst performance this season.

They shut him down for good, while Joel Embiid had a monster game, scoring 31 points to go with 11 rebounds, props to him for stepping it up and playing good defense against Giannis.

Insights and predictions can be discussed at the first NBA thread. It's way more fit there.

Just look at some of the replies, is that even part of the speculations about the subject?

---

+999

There are 82 games in the NBA, Bucks only played 32 games yet, 33 win streak is the highest in the NBA history so it's possible.
However, I might lock this thread the next time bucks loss their game, I am expecting that Bucks will make a historic run again but they disappoint me
today.

edit : locking. will reopen when they are in a win streak again.

Bucks are in a win streak again and this thread are still alive since Bucks has a chance to make a history this season.

For the bucks fans out their, let's support our team, Giannis making history and back to back MVP this season should be a good headline.

Giannis is one of the best player in this era, his built were very good that he can dominate anyone when he gets closer to the ring. His height, his footwork and his mentality will help him to achieve his dream but the best recipe for the ring is the team chemistry and team defense.

If he lead his team to a more consecutive winning streak, then they will get a momentum before the season ends. He already achieved some of his goals like becoming the Most Improved Player in 2017, MVP this 2019, three All-Star appearances and more. If he did those thing, I believe that he can also bring home the bacon. This time he will dominate all those teams in the Eastern Conference because he always come back stronger and stronger.


Antetokounmpo is a good player but the team chemistry and the roster of the Los Angeles Lakers are more effective in winning against a certain team. Also, the Milwaukee bucks sometimes are being choked in fourth quarter when their opponent got the momentum. Bucks are vulnerable to turnover and Lakers are very calm in the fourth quarter. If the Los Angeles Lakers wants to score then they will score because their centers have good defense plays.

Btw, I'm not a Lebron fan, I'm a fan of Kobe. RIP Legend.

Giannis is performing at his best level and with how the Bucks is performing it's still possible for them to make a history this season.
Winning another MVP if being based with  stats he's a good contender he's talents is really amazing, a combination of Lebron and
Durant I guess. Let see if they will keep the winning spirit and achieved this goal.

IIRC, when their winning streak was stopped, they have started a good winning streak again, thus far their winning streak climb to 9 and they stay below 10 loses, 4 loses only to be exact, if they are good last season they are more impressive this season. Kawhi, Lebron, and Luka are good MVP contenders but at this time, I believe Giannis has the bigger chance due to his teams achievement.

Lebron has Davis
Leonard has Paul
Luka got KP
Giannis got ?

What do you mean by this? Telling Giannis didn't have good backups compare to the other 3 players that's why it is a big achievement?

Don't underestimate the other players in the main squad. I have now truly believed that some NBA fans here didn't know the names of some of the good ROLE players in the league.

Milwaukee's current position is NOT JUST because of Giannis. Everyone contributed to that. There are several games where Giannis didn't play but Bucks still able to massacre some of their opponents in a large lead. All-Star Khris Middleton is also on the rise. This guy just managed to produce 51 points on their last game without Giannis. Bledsoe also improves year by year. They have also the Lopez brothers Twin Tower. Good perimeter veteran shooters Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver and 6th man George Hill, etc. The team is stacked with good and role players alongside Giannis.

I heavily agree even if he doesnt have a real tandem but if the entire team do able to do their job then it isnt really necessary for us to look up on what Giannis do had.

Position versatility plus high scoring capable team mate is already enough.Cant still be sure if they would took the east spot light but they do have high chances if
we do base up into their current performance or stats.

What I am trying to say is that Giannis got no superstar beside him but the team is still successful, in fact the best team in the NBA now, but then again, this is just the regular season, we will eventually see again in the playoffs if they are legit this time.

Well, that's the question but the question is will they really beat that history made by GSW way back then comes along the playoffs and if they'll choked up again on the East Conference Finals. I believe Giannis has good back up we can't underestimate this team at the moment they really are the best now on the league.

well it is not the superstar made the team win but the team effort,there are other teams that mostly having superstars in their squad yet not having any good stats in the series .maybe it is better not to judge the team by the star players instead by the team effort.and also nowadays Bench are doing good for the game ,there were time now that some winnings comes from the bench scoring.

It's a process if we will remember the first Bull run when they've achieved the 3peat and also how the Warriors begin it's own dynasty they
both came from nothing but to keep building the team, We Idolized MJ and Curry but the in realities they've got good backup behind them and
not just Pippen and Thompson. It's a team efforts and the good system from the coaching team.

Beating Lakers' record? It is possible no foubt abaout it. But beating Warriors' record, I'm not sure right now. My God! That was 73W - 9L :O, (Honestly, I was shock to know how great they are during their prime days). For me attaining such record doesn't require strong efforts alone, high luck is definitely needed ;D. Anyway if I based on what I feel right now, I might say that they can't continue their winning streak once they go with the playoffs. I have no explanations, just a gut feel tho.

The best record we are talking here is the regular season record, we are not talking about playoffs record yet.
It does not only need luck, it needs more skills for the team to continue winning and break the best record in the NBA.

Bucks still has a chance, they only have 6 loses right now, they need 2 more loses for them not to quality to have a chance of making  a new record.
