Regular season

With the retirement of Oscar Robertson, the Bucks started the season 1-13 before slowly coming back and after 48 games they were 24-24 and were poised for their 6th straight trip to the postseason, but the Bucks faded down the stretch and finish with a losing record for the first time in the Kareem-Abdul Jabbar era.
