Man, I haven’t posted for a long, long time. Sorry. Having another baby will do that to you. Not to mention the fact that the Bucks haven’t done anything of note recently, either.
But now there is news …. the schedules are here!
Could the NBA have tried any harder to bury this team early?
Some highlights:
The Bucks start with 12 of the first 18 on the road. In an absolutely remarkable coincidence that couldn’t possibly have been set up by the league, the Bucks open the season on October 28 at Chicago. The next night they play at Oklahoma City in the first home game for the Sonics Whatevers.
After the first 18, the Bucks have three home games and then what is essentially a seven game road trip (three games on the West Coast, do some laundry and play one game at home, then three games on the East Coast). So out of the first 28 games, the Bucks get 10 at home.
There is payback, of course, at the end of the schedule. The Bucks finish the schedule with 11 of the final 17 at home, which includes homestands of six and four games each.
If this team gets through mid-December intact then they should be in good shape.

Well, there’s always NEXT year, right?

At least we’ll know early if this team is capable of anything.

Half of the schedule is crammed into Nov. and Jan. Lots of 2 game weeks otherwise…. it’s just not right.
