]]> 12 of the NBA’s 30 teams, including Milwaukee, will have two or fewer appearances on the NBA’s top three television partners: ABC, ESPN, and TNT.  On the other hand, seven franchises (BOS, LAL, CHI, MIA, NYK, DAL, OKC) will have 20 or more such broadcasts.  Unsurprisingly, the league included those same seven franchises in its marquee slate of nationally-televised games on Opening Day/Christmas Day.

(To be honest, you probably didn’t need me to name those seven for you, did you?)

The NBA also broadcasts some of its games on NBA TV, but those games reach a far smaller audience than the ones shown on ABC, ESPN, and TNT.

Here are the numbers of national television appearances for each of the NBA’s 30 teams sorted from greatest to least.  The number in parentheses indicates the number of TV appearances with the NBA TV games excluded.

Boston Celtics: 31 (24)
LA Lakers: 29 (25)

]]> As parts of the NBA schedule are released, some dates of the Bucks’ schedule are also being revealed.

The Bucks will have two road games with the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers on back-to-back nights, Jan. 6 and 7.  Before the lockout, the Bucks were originally scheduled for a grueling January with 12 of their first 14 games on the road, including stops on the West Coast, Texas, and Florida.  It appears that this new pair of games is a remnant of that original West Coast trip.

The Bucks will also have home games the next month, as Phoenix and New Orleans and Phoenix come to town on Feb. 7 and 15, respectively.

The full schedule is set to be released tonight at 6 PM CT.
