The Milwaukee Milkmen Continue to Update their Roster for Next Season Baseball starts at the Roc sports complex on May 10th. But before the season gets going the team has to fill out its roster. Interestingly enough, the team was in dire need of more pitching.  The “other” Milwaukee baseball team has been busy this winter, updating their roster and adding new players. The team is facing some roster upheaval for good reasons: two of their players have been offered MLB contracts. Also, Milwaukee has been in desperate need of more pitching. It appears they have found some great diamonds…

Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns Preview (9pm Start Time CST) Get the coffee rolling (or Energy Drink) and get ready to stay up late for a Tuesday Night Marquee NBA match-up. The game will be televised nationally on TNT. (9pm) The (33-17) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (29-21)  Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. The Bucks are coming off “diss-spiriting” loss to Utah Sunday night in Utah. For Milwaukee they just ran out of steam. They were on a back-to-back, they had a nice, emotional win Saturday night in Dallas and they just couldn’t hang with the Jazz…

The Road Trip Continues The (33-16) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (24-26) Utah Jazz on Sunday Night on the road. The Jazz play at the Delta Center (Delta Airlines). Milwaukee is on a back-to-back, having won last night in Dallas (129-117). Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 48 points.  The Bucks are 12-11 on the road. The Jazz have been a team that tends to win against inferior competition. They have won two in a row, defeating Washington and Charlotte. Before that they lost three in a row.  Vegas has the Bucks at a 39% chance to win and 3-point…

Milwaukee Bucks vs Dallas Mavericks Preview The (32-16) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (26-22)  Dallas Mavericks Saturday night in downtown Dallas at the American Airlines Center. The game will be a little later with a 7:30 pm start. But hey, it’s Saturday Night so you can relax and enjoy the game. It’s being billed as Luka vs Giannis which it should be! Luka is second in the NBA in scoring and Giannis is fourth. Click here to see a previous piece about some of the nice things Luka had to say about Giannis last season.  This is the last game…

The Milwaukee Bucks are ready for a “Lillard Homecoming” The (32-15) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (14-33) Portland Trail Blazers to continue a 5-game road trip. The Trail Blazers have played well lately winning against the 76er’s last night (130-104). The game will be televised on ESPN. Portland is not very good at home (8-13). Then again they haven’t done much better on the road either going (6-20). Last season they were dominant at home. Of course, they had Damian Lillard. He made some interesting comments recently about maybe, just maybe, wanting to go back.  This is the second, and…

Bucks Games Will be on Local TV Starting Friday, Feb. 23rd Milwaukee Bucks games will be televised on WMLW. WMLW is local CBS-58 on many Milwaukee cable boxes and over-the-air television set-ups. Seeing the Bucks on TV is always a great thing! WMLW will televise 10 premium Bucks games on TV in total. Along with the game on the 23rd of February, WMLW will televise games against the Bulls, the Clippers, the Lakers, and the Celtics.  Another interesting game that will be available locally will be the game on April 12th, in Oklahoma City, against the Oklahoma City Thunder.  That…

A Look at the Challenging remaining Pre-All-Star Break Schedule The Bucks remaining schedule up until the all-star game looks brutal. But at least we are more than halfway to the long, arduous NBA playoffs.  The Milwaukee Bucks have ten games before the all-star break. The NBA All-Star game is scheduled for Feb. 18th.  The NBA midway point is like the MLB midway point as it runs well beyond the halfway point. For the NBA the all-star break happens at/around game 59 while the MLB break is usually at/around game 110. The team is currently 46 games into their 82 game…

A Possible Preview of the NBA 2024 Finals The (32-14) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (32-15) Denver Nuggets on Monday night in Denver at the Ball arena, riding some good vibes after they delivered a “butt whooping” to the New Orleans Pelicans. Milwaukee won Saturday night at home (141-117). Denver is 18-4 at home. The Nuggets are favored to win this game by 5 points. For Milwaukee Giannis might not play.  The game will feature the two leading candidates for MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo (+900) and Nikola Jokic (+220). This game should be a good one! This is the first…

The Comparison is real: Look no further than David Blatt to Ty Lue The Milwaukee Bucks made a mistake in hiring a rookie head coach. Like a rookie player, it takes time to get used to the NBA landscape. Adrian Griffin checks a lot of boxes as to why he should run an NBA team. He just didn’t check, ultimately, the most important one: how to deal with the stars. (And craft strong rotations. His player rotations stunk.) This franchise doesn’t have the time, or patience, to wait for a coach to figure it out. The Milwaukee Bucks are a team…

Milwaukee Bucks Basketball Continues (I wonder if the Bucks stay in Detroit or just fly back tonight and then fly back on Monday?) The (28-13) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (4-37) Detroit Pistons on Saturday afternoon away in Detroit at the Little Caesars Arena (2pm CST start time) The game should be broadcast live on Bally’s Sports. Milwaukee is already favored by 12.5 points. Cade Cunningham is listed as “out” for Detroit. Giannis was off against Cleveland and is listed as a game-time decision. The game has an earlier start time 2pm CST, probably to accommodate families and to try…
