Milkmen News: Milwaukee Continues to Update their Roster for Next Season Baseball season is so close! The smell of fresh cut grass; the crack of the bat and the thud of the ball against the mitt are right around the corner. Other than all of the excitement with Major Leagues baseball and the Milwaukee Brewers, the Milwaukee Milkmen (who play in Franklin) are a great, family-friendly alternative. Baseball starts at the Roc sports complex on May 10th. But before the season gets going the team has to fill out its roster. Since the team made its debut in 2018 there…

Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Preview The (45-25) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (48-20) Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday Night in downtown Milwaukee.

This will be the first time these two teams have played this season. They will play again, in Oklahoma City, on April 12th. That contest is Milwaukee’s second-to-last game of the 2023-2024 NBA regular season. OKC last played against Toronto on Friday night. They won…

The (43-24) Milwaukee Bucks are playing good basketball right now. Even with the regular season in full swing, it is still fun to look at some early possible draft picks, especially since the Bucks have a couple of picks in this summer’s NBA draft.  In what is widely regarded as a “down year” for drafting new players, it is still great news for Bucks fans that these draft assets exist. The Bucks’ bench has been concerning at times so this will be great for adding some young runners.  With that in mind, Milwaukee will look to draft “the best player…

“Bucks International” is certainly something to examine The NBA, like pretty much all of the major professional sports, is a truly “international game”. Players are drafted from all over the world. From Wemby to the Joker, the quality of international players is high; especially when compared to the prevalence of international players 20 years ago in the league.  Something that comes up quite a bit is that Giannis is still relatively “new” to basketball. He started playing when he was 13. He was 18 when he made his NBA debut. His past and all the hard work it took for…

Milwaukee Bucks: Late tip again (9 pm CST) on ESPN The (41-22)  Milwaukee Bucks take on the (34-30) Los Angeles Lakers Friday Night in downtown LA at the Crypto Arena. The Lakers have been up and down all season, winning the inaugural NBA In-Season tournament and then also experiencing multiple four-game losing streaks.  Of course the same could be said about the Bucks: changing coaches, adding in Damian Lillard and adding Pat Bev have not been moves of “inactivity”. This is the first time this season these two teams have played. They will square off in Milwaukee on March 26th. …

Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Preview of Season Game 4 The (39-21) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (28-31) Chicago Bulls Friday Night in downtown Chicago right off State Street at the United Center. It is time to get back to “reality” for NBA fans. This game against the Bulls is coming after four awesome wins in a row. The games against the Hornets never really seemed in doubt and the Bucks are up in the clouds.  This one might be a dose of reality because Milwaukee is on a back-to-back and they might play “tired”.  Speaking of “tired”, tip-off is…

The Milwaukee Bucks are “hot”- Bet the “farm” on a Bucks win The (38-21) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (15-43) Charlotte Hornets on the road in Charlotte for the last time these teams will face each other this season. We can truthfully say “last time” because Charlotte is not going to make the playoffs. They are still not officially mathematically eliminated, but, well, they are looking ahead to next season.  The Bucks simply hammered on Charlotte Tuesday night at the Fiserv forum. (123-85)  Charlotte was simply outgunned and the Bucks continue to impress with a seemingly new defense that is…

This exciting change comes on the heels of the struggles of Bally’s Sports. This is the second time this season these two teams have played. Minnesota smoked the Bucks back on February 8th (129-105).  Vegas has the Bucks at a…
