I know sports because I know winning. Why do I know winning; because I really know losing. I was the 22nd runner on a 22-man 2002 Cross Country National Championship team, I was last at the state meet in the 2 mile in 1998, I played hoops with Caron Butler (who dunked on me all the time) and I once hit 5 batters in one inning.

bucks vs spurs

This game has all the markings of a possible “trap” game for the Bucks. Bucks vs Spurs Preview- “Look out! It’s a trap!” The 51-20 Milwaukee Bucks take on the 19-53 San Antonio Spurs at home in a game that features the best team in the NBA and the worst team. The game is at home at the “beer keg”, the Fiserv Forum, and downtown Milwaukee owes the game a passing interest because of the lackluster opponent. The Bucks have finally had a few days off here and there after a stretch where they were constantly playing every other day.…

Milkmen

In a move to shore up their bullpen, the Milwaukee Milkmen have added right handed relief pitcher Hansel Rodriguez. The move comes as the season is just weeks away. Rodriguez was acquired from the New Jersey Jackals for Keon Barnum. His ERA numbers are eye-popping.  https://twitter.com/MKEMilkmen/status/1637905664721690624 Rodriguez is a hard throwing pitcher who spent some time in both the Blue Jays organization and the Padres organization. The 26 year old is from the Dominican Republic. He had a 1.94 ERA with New Jersey last season. One would think he would help add depth to the Milkmen staff, along with…

The Milwaukee Bucks completed the season sweep of the Portland Trailblazers.

(And one to avoid.)  Who Should Milwaukee Want to play? For Milwaukee to seriously consider winning a championship, they have to get “right” heading into the postseason. The Bucks have a March 30th contest against Boston that could have the feel of a pre-playoff preview. As Milwaukee fights to secure the number one seed it is easy to look ahead to the playoffs. The Bucks play their last regular season game in less than 20 days in Toronto. (Their regular season home schedule wraps up on Friday April 7th against Memphis.) As it stands right now the Bucks are 51-20.…

Bucks vs Raptors

Sunday Hoops- Bucks vs Raptors The 50-20 Milwaukee Bucks take on the 35-36  Toronto Raptors in a nationally televised game on NBA TV. The game is at home at the “beer keg”, the Fiserv Forum. The Bucks have finally had a few days off after they stunk it up in the second half versus the Pacers on Thursday night. Milwaukee gets the comfort of being at home, plus the Raptors have really stunk it up on the road playing to a 12-23 record away from the Scotiabank arena. Somebody is going to have to wash off “the stink”. If the…

Bucks vs Suns

Bucks vs Suns Preview Bucks are on a back-to-back The 49-19 Milwaukee Bucks take on the 37-31 Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. The Bucks are coming off an awesome win vs Sacramento. In that game Giannis played well, scoring 46. What was probably more impressive was when the Kings took a “shot” at him at the end of the game, Brook Lopez rallied to his defense and let the league know that was not going to be acceptable. The Bucks are already exhibiting a playoff toughness that will serve them well.  The Suns will be without newly…

The Milwaukee Bucks could be the first team to do this tonight? With a Bucks win and a Miami loss, the Bucks will be the first NBA team this season to clinch a playoff spot.  The Bucks have been playing well of late. Their 16 game winning streak was an NBA season high. It was also tied for the third longest winning streak in franchise history.  https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1635298425674555394 If the Bucks clinch tonight, it stands to wonder how much rest the Bucks will want to give to Giannis and Jrue and Khris? And it also stands up for debate how…

Bucks vs Kings Game Preview The 48-19 Milwaukee Bucks take on the 40-26 Sacramento Kings Monday Night in downtown Sacramento at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings are having a great year, led by star Domantas Sabonis and upstart point guard De’Aaron Fox. The Bucks will be at full strength and the Kings are playing well. It should be a fun, defense-less, high scoring NBA regular season game.  The Bucks are coming off a tough overtime loss against the Golden State Warriors while the Kings recently beat the Suns 128-119.  Vegas has the Bucks at a 52% chance to win…

Bucks vs Magic Game Preview The 46-18 Milwaukee Bucks take on the 27-38 Orlando Magic Tuesday night in Orlando at the Amway Center. The Bucks had a nice team win vs the Wizards Sunday night 117-111. That win came on the heels of a tough home loss to the Sixers Saturday Night, 133-130. There are 18 games remaining in the NBA regular season. All in all Milwaukee remains the number one seed. And they are continuing to sharpen their game, getting rotations and minutes in order before the big playoff push. But this does make for a somewhat erratic set…

Could you even imagine Giannis Antetokounmpo at 5 am in a strip club showing off a gun? Heavy is the Hat that Wears the Crown Ja Morant, the 23 year old NBA star point guard has made some poor choices. After the Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Denver Nuggets he decided to blow off some steam and party. Hard. Stripers, drugs, booze, guns… all of it. Then, at around 5am, he decided to put it all on social media, on Instagram Live. In the background you can see his friends along with two women in some explicitly sexual positions. He…
