We like statistical analysis over here at Brew Hoop, but we’re usually looking at the numbers the Milwaukee Bucks put up, not our own. So with a hat-tip to our friends across town at Brew Crew Ball, we’re taking
a look back at some yearlong statistics here at the site from 2025. Unlike Bucks fans, Brewers fans had the benefit of an extended playoff run in 2025, but it’s always interesting to see how similar our page views are on articles about the biggest news surrounding each team.
All told, Brew Hoop published 765 articles, had over 634,000 unique visitors and just over two million page views in 2025. Our best months were June and July, the latter in large part due to the waiving of Damian Lillard and signing of Myles Turner. In fact at nearly 356k views, July was our best month since February 2023 and our third best month in the last five years (predictably, July 2021 takes the cake with 666k views, thanks to the title). It’s interesting to see how well we did in June despite the Bucks just having a single second-round pick in the draft. February came in a close third thanks to the Bucks’ active trade deadline. As ever, it’s clear what hoops fans like to read about most: transactions! And apparently, Jimmy Butler.
Sorted by engaged minutes (i.e., the amount of time the article was on someone’s screen, hopefully being read!), here are 2025’s top ten:
