Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavs Preview-1.17.24 The Milwaukee Bucks Schedule is odd this week. After tonight’s road game the Bucks play Detroit twice, on different nights, in Detroit. (I’m all here for the NBA double header.) The (28-12) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (23-15) Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday Night in Cleveland, Ohio at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. This is the second time these teams will play this season. Milwaukee won game one of the season series (119-111). That game was also in Cleveland. The Milwaukee Bucks are the number two seed in the Eastern Conference; Cleveland is the number four seed…

Bucks Win: “Dame Time” is ticking with an awesome game-winning three The Milwaukee Bucks upped their record to (28-12) on the season as they beat the (23-16) Sacramento Kings at home in overtime on a last-second three by Damian Lillard. “Wait a minute?” you might be wondering, “The Bucks played today?”  Yes, they did. It was an awesome game. And while the Packers were dropping a hammer on Dallas, Milwaukee was involved in your typical NBA Regular Season game: tons of offense and not a ton of defense until the end. Milwaukee had a really nice 3rd quarter and also…

Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors Preview: Golden State is resting some good players The (26-12) Milwaukee Bucks take on the defending NBA champion from two seasons ago, the (18-20) Golden State Warriors at home at the beer keg. The Fiserv should be rocking again after the Bucks destroyed the Celtics (7:00 pm Tip-off CST) The Warriors are on a “back-to-back” having beaten the Bulls by nine last night in Chicago. Milwaukee has delivered on a strong regular season and is currently the number-two seed in the Eastern Conference. It promises to be a high-scoring, fun regular-season NBA game. The…

The Milwaukee Bucks are in the midst of a little bit of a slide The (25-12) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (29-8) Boston Celtics at 6:30 CST on TNT. The game is at home at the “beer keg”, the Fiserv. Milwaukee has not had a good January; certainly not as good as their 12-2 December. But the show goes on and it is back to “Dame Time”. Lillard plans to play. Of course the Damian Lillard vs Jrue Holiday match-up will get a ton of the headlines as it should. But the Jaylan Brown’s and Malik Beasley’s will probably matter…

Darvin Ham might not be “long for this world” in L.A. If there is one thing former Bucks Head Coach Mike Budnholzer proved it was that he could really win a lot of regular season games. Budenholzer went 484-371 (.604%) in the regular season as the Head Coach for both Atlanta and Milwaukee. In just his Bucks tenure Budenholzer went 271-120 (closest to winning 70% of his regular season games) However Budenholzer-coached teams fared much worse in the playoffs with a 56-48 record, winning at just a 53% clip. If there is another thing Budenholzer did well it was surround…

Williams Today Former Packer Running Back Jamaal Williams found himself sneaking into the endzone for a “shady” TD Sunday. With a minute to go and close to the endzone, Williams abandoned victory formation and snuck in for a TD. Here is the play. The quick take is that had the Saints planned to keep trying to score, they should have tried to run a normal offensive play.  Fired Falcons Coach Arthur Smith left Sunday’s Falcons vs Saints game with some choice words for Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen. The speculation is rampant that it has to do with former Packer…

Bucks Star Damian Lillard is out Tonight for “personal reasons” Per Bally Sports Wisconsin Bucks Star Damian Lillard will not play Monday Night vs the Utah Jazz. https://twitter.com/BallySportWI/status/1744400036048273737  Milwaukee gave up Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, two first-round pick swaps, and the 2029 first-round pick to acquire Lillard. So far Lillard has provided the offensive spark Milwaukee hoped for. When asked earlier in the season why the team does not seem to be “jelling”, Lillard did not seem to think it was a big deal. You put a lot of really good players together, it takes time to jell, get…

Bucks Basketball on a Monday Night The (25-11) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (17-20) Utah Jazz on Monday Night at home. The Fiserv Forum should be rocking! The game tips off at 7pm. This will be Utah’s only visit to Milwaukee. The Bucks play the Jazz in Utah on February 4th. The Bucks are 16-3 at home. Milwaukee is coming off a “flat” loss against an improved Houston Rockets team (112-108). Giannis led the way with 48 points. At times it felt like he was Milwaukee’s entire offense. Brook Lopez had a real tough game, only scoring 7 points. Malik…

For the Milwaukee Bucks sometimes it just isn’t your night Bucks lose 112-108 in Houston The (25-11) Milwaukee Bucks had a nice little stretch planned in Texas against San Antonio and Houston. The only surprising thing was supposed to be that they didn’t stop in Dallas to knock out a regular-season game there. However, the Bucks lost 112-108 to Houston, in Houston.  And it felt at times like they barely beat San Antonio, in San Antonio. Milwaukee is 9-8 on the road.  NBA veteran Jeff Green had a world-beater of a night going for 16 points in 34 solid minutes…

Is there an NBA In-Season Tournament Curse? Even the most casual NBA fans seemed to enjoy the NBA Regular In-Season Tournament. The Semi-Finals and Finals were in Las Vegas, Nevada. It felt like a big deal. Bucks fans certainly enjoyed it. It felt new and “hip”. Milwaukee went on to win in the “knockout round” against the Knicks. However, Milwaukee went on to lose in the semi-finals to the Indiana Pacers. It was the true start of what has developed into a wild, new, fresh NBA rivalry.  How have the Pacers fared since their second-place finish in the NBA In-Season…
