1970/71: With realignment the Bucks are moved to the Western Conference and into the Midwest Division. To round out the team the Bucks would acquire Oscar Robertson from the Cincinnati Royals for Flynn Robinson and Charlie Paulk. Robertson added experience to the young Bucks averaging 19.4 ppg while making the All-Star team. The trade also made Lew Alcindor a better player as he won the league scoring title and MVP with 31.7 ppg as the Bucks finished with a league best 66-16 record. In the first round the Bucks would easily beat the San Francisco Warriors in 5 games. Moving on the Western Finals the young Aclindor would dominate aging legend Wilt Chamberlain as the Bucks beat the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games. In the Finals the Bucks would continue to roll as they swept the Baltimore Bullets in 4 straight becoming the fastest expansion team to win a Major Championship, as Lew Alcindor won the Finals MVP.
2005/06: After missing the playoffs the Bucks hoped to rebound with new Coach Terry Stotts, and the top overall draft pick Andrew Bogut. Out of the gate the Bucks looked strong as they won their first three games, and held a respectable 16-11 record after the first two months of the season. However, January brought hard times to Milwaukee, as the Bucks struggled losing 7 of 9, as the Bucks slipped below .500. The Bucks would hover near the .500 mark the rest of the season as they were in a battle for the final three playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. When the dust settled and the season was over the Bucks would find themselves in last place again with a record of 40-42. However, they would still make the playoffs as the eighth seed in the East. Once again Michael Redd was the best player on the team leading the Bucks with a career high 25.4 ppg. While, Andre Bogut struggled at times with a mediocre 9.4 ppg, but was solid on the boards with 7.0 rebounds per game. In the playoffs the Bucks would face the Detroit Pistons, and would find themselves in a quick hole losing the first two games on the road. However, as the series shifted to Milwaukee the Bucks put together a perfect game as Redd scored 40 points in a 124-104 win. It would be the only game the Bucks would win in the series as the Pistons won in five games.
