 The Bucks had a promising 2003-04 season with the strong play of rookie point guard T. J. Ford and new coach Terry Porter, until Ford suffered a career-threatening spinal cord contusion, thus sitting out the final 26 games of the season. The Bucks did qualify for the playoffs, however they were defeated by the eventual champion Pistons in the first round. With T. J. Ford missing the entire 2004-05 season because of his spinal cord contusion, the Bucks had a disappointing regular season, ending with a 30–52 record. Strong play by young stars Mo Williams and Michael Redd did provide some encouragement. Coach Terry Porter was fired at the end of the season. Due to their poor record, the Bucks were placed in the NBA Draft Lottery. Despite only having a 6% chance for the first selection in the lottery, the Bucks won the first pick for the 2005 NBA Draft, which was used to select Andrew Bogut of Australia and the University of Utah. This luck raised expectations for the coming season, as the team anticipated the return of T. J. Ford along with the addition of Bogut and former All-Star center Jamaal Magloire who was acquired in a trade with the New Orleans Hornets for Desmond Mason. The Bucks showed improvement in the 2005-06 season under new head coach Terry Stotts. On April 1, 2006, the Bucks set a new NBA record for the fewest team turnovers in one game with just two turnovers in a 96–89 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Earlier the same week, on March 28, they set a new NBA record with 11 3-pointers in a quarter, another new NBA record with 14 3-pointers in a half, and a team record with 18 3-pointers in a 132–110 shootout victory over the Phoenix Suns. The Bucks finished the 2006 regular season with a loss to the Wizards, giving them a 40–42 record and dropping them to the eighth and final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks lost to the Detroit Pistons, the defending Eastern Conference Champions, in the first round of the 2006 NBA Playoffs, with a final series tally of 4–1. Milwaukee had their only win in the playoff series when they beat Detroit 124–104 on April 29, 2006. |
