Milwaukee Bucks: 5 takeaways from 2017-18 schedule release

The NBA released the 2017-18 schedule recently as the season draws ever closer. What should the Milwaukee Bucks and their fans take away from the schedule?

There is no rest for an NBA franchise such as the Milwaukee Bucks.

The NBA offseason was finally in a period of quiet. Nonstop action since the Golden State Warriors hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy was finally at an end. The NBA Draft, high-profile trades, free agent signings, and Summer League hysteria was in the rear-view mirror. Even Kyrie Irving‘s unexpected trade demand was a situation on the back-burner for now.

Then the league dropped the full 2017-18 NBA regular season schedule, and the excitement was back. From the many returns of high profile stars who switched teams, to the new tradition of the Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers playing on Christmas Day, thousands of details were there for the absorption of fans and team executives alike.

The Milwaukee Bucks were no exception, as the organization now works to set in place all the details of an NBA season. Scheduling flights, hotels and community events. When should a team host this arena promotion, or honor that player? As Milwaukee celebrates its 50th anniversary, which night will they go home to MECCA for a game?
