1990–91 Milwaukee Bucks season
The 1990–91 NBA season was the Bucks' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Bucks acquired Frank Brickowski from the San Antonio Spurs, and acquired Danny Schayes from the Denver Nuggets.[2] However, Larry Krystkowiak would miss the entire season with a knee injury.[3] The Bucks started the season on a strong note winning their first 18 home games on their way to a 25–8 start. However, they would lose ten of their next twelve games. Ricky Pierce and Alvin Robertson were both selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game.[4] At midseason, Pierce was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics for Dale Ellis.[5] The Bucks would make their 12th consecutive playoff appearance finishing third in the Central Division with a 48–34 record, while posting a 33–8 home record at the Bradley Center.[6]
