Milwaukee Bucks 2011-12 Season Starts Tonight at the Bradley Center

The Milwaukee Bucks 2011-12 season will start tonight with a game against the Timberwolves. This will be the first Bucks game at the Bradley Center since the lockout began months ago. Tip off will be at 7:30. This is one of two games for the month of December. This Friday, the Wizards will come to Milwaukee. Immediately after these two games, the Bucks hit the road for a five game, West Coast road trip.
Bucks Take Long Road Trip in January

The Bucks will have only five home games in the Month of January. In Milwaukee, they play the Spurs, Pistons, Nuggets, Heat, and Lakers. Aside from the West Coast road trip that starts on January 2, they will make stops in Dallas, Philadelphia, New York, Miami, Houston and Chicago. This shortened season makes every game that much more important. Every team has the same disadvantage, as they had almost no preseason to prepare for the upcoming games.

For the Bucks, the month of April will be a time for the team to spend a majority of their time at home. They play nine home games, and five road games in that span, hosting Cleveland, Charlotte, Portland, Oklahoma City, New York, Indiana, and more. Will the Bucks be playoff bound by that time? It's any one's guess.

Milwaukee Bucks Playoff Tickets for Bradley Center

I should have guessed that the Milwaukee Bucks playoff tickets for the Bradley Center would go fast. They weren't supposed to win game five of this series, on the road, against a strong team like the Hawks. They pulled it off in style. Down 13 points in the fourth quarter, I was tempted to turn off the TV.

That three-pointer by Carlos Delfino that put Milwaukee up by four points with just over one minute to go was the spike in the heart of the Atlanta Hawks. Prior to that, the Hawks lead by as much as 13 points late in the third quarter. They thought that the game was all but over when they lead 73-63 with 9:30 left in the game. Milwaukee sank some key shots, got the call on the other side of the court when Crawford was called for a charge. The Bucks were down by just one point, and got the ball back. Milwaukee scored five unanswered points, and it was game over.

The Hawks come back to Milwaukee's Bradley Center tomorrow night. The odds are in favor for Milwaukee to win the series, but nobody is counting Atlanta out. They will come to Milwaukee angry and hungry.

Marquette plays Providence at Bradley Center

I just spotted one of the Providence basketball players at Cousins subs. He was chatting up some girl while waiting for his sub. I think that Marquette is at the Bradley Center on Sunday. Providence must have come in early to prepare. The Bradley Center will be crowded on Sunday for sure.
