It’s now been years since the Milwaukee Bucks won a championship, and some fans are worried they might not be able to do it again.
The team has made multiple moves to become title contenders, but has repeatedly come up short.
Even players in the lineup are questioning why they aren’t able to get it done.
Bobby Portis recently talked about his team’s chances and why they aren’t able to reach the Finals.
“I mean, what’s wrong with our team? Why can’t we do it this year? The only thing wrong with us is people being hurt,” Portis said, via NBACentral.

Portis raises a good point, but the injuries in Milwaukee cannot be understated.
The team has experienced a slew of tough breaks, including to its two biggest stars.
When Damian Lillard came to the Bucks, he was seen as the team’s missing piece, the person who could play expertly alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and return the team to postseason glory.
And while Lillard did play well with Antetokounmpo, he faced his fair share of injuries.
Sadly, Antetokounmpo did as well – and they weren’t alone.
Portis is frustrated with his team, and he’s not the only one.
Just a few years ago, they were considered one of the most dominant and fearsome squads in their conference.
It seemed like it was only a matter of time before they were fighting for another title.
Now, they are a big question mark, and the future of Antetokounmpo is up in the air.
Portis wants to know what is wrong with his team, and fans are asking the same question.
If the Bucks can’t produce a definitive answer this year, some major and shocking changes could be coming.
