From the those-who-can't-stand-prosperity file, we proudly present Your Milwaukee Bucks.

After racing out to a 9-1 start and showing themselves to be perhaps the cream of the Eastern Conference crop, the Bucks rolled out west and promptly rolled over and played dead.

They limped back home today with a 9-5 record, a four-game losing streak that's the longest in two seasons, second-place in the Central Division behind the surprising Detroit Pistons and with questions galore.

"We don't have that fight in us right now and I don't know why," a mystified Ray Allen said after the latest loss, a 97-83 spit-up job to Seattle last night. "You can't put your finger on one thing that's causing us to go sour right now because I don't think there's one thing we're doing well at this point."
