Week 11 Wrap Up

The Milwaukee Bucks are playing well right now. They have done a fantastic job maintaining a .500 record or above this season. There have been ups and downs and the schedule will continually challenge the team but if they can keep up what they are doing then a low playoff seed in the East will be the likely result.

In week 12 the Bucks play three more games. Two of them should be winnable: versus the Washington Wizards (unfortunately we’ve already seen this one slip away) and versus the Miami Heat, both at home. One should be a likely loss: on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. If the Bucks can somehow get two out of three wins they will be in a good place.

The Spurs game on Tuesday will be a good test for the Bucks. San Antonio is one of the consistently elite teams in the NBA. If the Bucks can pull off that win, it will be a week to celebrate.

After this week the Bucks play nine games combined in their next two weeks. Five of those nine games are against teams with better records than Milwaukee. The Bucks need to perform well in week 12 because the schedule is going to be brutal in weeks 13 and 14.

Keep tuning in to Bucks basketball to see if they can keep their record above .500 and if they can weather the storm their upcoming schedule is concocting.
