Meant to throw this up last night, but since we are all friends, let's do today. It's hard to predict the season by looking the schedule in August.  Unlike Green Bay or Wisconsin football, you can't make a record predictions just yet. This is the most anticipated Bucks season since the 2002-2003 year.  There are probably going to be some unreal expectations to start the season, but that's only natural after a great season in 2014-2015.  Couple of things to note if you haven't look at the schedule yet....

- Milwaukee opens at home for the first time in 31 years.  If you're curious why the Bucks usually start on the road, it's due to Herb Kohl being a cheap ass.

- Bucks will be on ESPN twice, TNT once and eight times on NBAtv. That's good pub for Milwaukee, let's hope they don't embarrass themselves as they've done on national television before.

- Greg Monroe heads back to Detroit on December 4th. I am guessing for the sparse crowd, there will be boos.

- NBA Champion Golden State Warriors come to town on Saturday, December 12th.  Should be fun to see all the fake Warrior fans.

- Bulls come to town on a Tuesday night and a Sunday early evening game. That Sunday game could really see a stretch with Final Four-Bulls/Bucks for playoff positioning/Brewers Home Opener.

- Bucks have easy schedules according to last year's numbers in November and April. Second easiest in all of the league for November, could mean a fast start. December and January figure to be the hardest months for the team.
