It was a solid week for the Milwaukee Bucks. They played four road games and won two of them.  That is a good week for most teams who aren’t the Cavaliers, Warriors, or Spurs. If the Bucks can keep that road winning percentage up it will do wonders for their push for the playoffs.

This week saw a couple Bucks get ejected. Middleton, as I mentioned before got tossed in the final seconds of the Mavericks game and O.J. Mayo got tossed in the first quarter of the Timberwolves game. Mayo was about to fight the ref which was sort of entertaining or sort of embarrassing depending on your point of view. It took four people, two coaches and two players, to hold the juice back and I got to see it in person!

This week marked the transition from 2015 to 2016. Milwaukee left 2015 on a good note and started 2016 strong. If they can get a little bit of a win streak going then it will definitely be a happy new year for all Bucks fans!
