1999–2000 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Bucks' 32nd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Bucks acquired Danny Manning and re-acquired Dale Ellis from the Orlando Magic,[2] and signed free agent Darvin Ham. After missing most of the previous season with an ankle injury, Sam Cassell played a full season as the Bucks won their first three games, and played above .500 in the first half of the season. However, they struggled in February posting a 3–9 record as Ellis was traded to the Charlotte Hornets,[3] and Haywoode Workman was released to free agency. With less than a month to go, the Bucks playoff chances appeared bleak as they had a 32–37 record in late March. However, down the stretch, they won 10 of their final 13 games to sneak into the playoffs as the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference, finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 42–40 record.[4] Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.[5] Allen led the team in scoring with 22.1 points per game, and Robinson finished second on the team in scoring averaging 20.9 points per game, while Cassell provided them with 18.2 points, and 9.0 assists per game, and Tim Thomas played a sixth man role averaging 11.8 points per game off the bench.[6]

However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, they would lose 3–2 to the top-seeded Indiana Pacers, losing Game 5 by just one point, 96–95 at the Conseco Fieldhouse.[7] Following the season, Manning signed as a free agent with the Utah Jazz, Vinny Del Negro was traded to the Golden State Warriors, and second-year forward Robert Traylor was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
