ESPN is now using Associated Press AI-generated journalism “using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar.” I don’t remember this being the case last year.
For such a short writeup, the game preview for tonight’s Sixers/Bucks game is amazingly bad:
Bucks host the 76ers to begin season
ByData Skrive Oct 25, 2023, 02:03 am Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee; Thursday, 7:30 p.m. EDT
Bucks -5.5
BOTTOM LINE: The Milwaukee Bucks begin the season at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Milwaukee went 58-24 overall, 35-16 in Eastern Conference play and 32-8 at home during the 2022-23 season. The Bucks averaged 13.7 points off of turnovers, 14.4 second-chance points and 34.3 bench points last season.
Philadelphia went 54-28 overall and 34-18 in Eastern Conference play during the 2022-23 season. The 76ers averaged 115.2 points per game while allowing opponents to score 110.9 last season.
INJURIES: Bucks: None listed.
76ers: None listed.
There’s even an error in it. I was wondering how the Bucks only played 51 Eastern Conference games last year, and the answer is that the stat is incorrect and Milwaukee actually went 35-17 last year against the East.
