MILWAUKEE _ The 2003-`04 Milwaukee Bucks will be remembered in many ways but mostly for being an unpredictable, blue-collar band of overachievers.

From the rookie general manager to the rookie coach to the rookie point guard to so many others in the locker room, this was a team looking to gain a competitive foothold in the cold world of the National Basketball Association. For the most part, the Bucks succeeded.

Not that any sort of script was detectable, though.

This was a Bucks team that could blow a 26-point lead and lose to New York at home only to shock the mighty Sacramento Kings in Arco Arena a week and a half later.

This was a team that could win its first four games in April, spurring talk of a seven-game winning streak going into the playoffs, only to lose the final three regular-season games along with home-court advantage in the playoffs in the process.

This was a team that, in the playoffs, could score a resounding victory over the Detroit Pistons in the Palace in Game 2 to even their series at one victory apiece, only to return home and lose the next two games and then the series in five games.
