The 2004-05 Milwaukee Bucks ended their NBA season with a disappointing 30-52 record, finishing fifth in the Central Division and missing the playoffs. Head coach Terry Porter couldn’t replicate the success of the previous year, when the team had reached the postseason. Key player Michael Redd was a standout, averaging 23.0 points per game and earning an NBA All-Star selection, his first and only appearance. Despite Redd’s contributions, the team struggled with consistency and defensive issues, which proved detrimental over the course of the season.
Rookie point guard T.J. Ford missed the entire season due to a spinal cord injury, which left a significant void in the team’s backcourt. The Bucks also faced challenges with injuries and lacked depth, further hindering their competitiveness. This dismal performance led to a major restructuring in the offseason, including the dismissal of Coach Porter. The franchise looked to rebuild with a fresh approach, focusing on the upcoming draft and free agency to improve their fortunes.
- Regular Season Record: 30-52
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
