On Wednesday, the NBA released the Milwaukee Bucks 2015-2016 schedule. For all intents and purposes, the 2015-2016 season promises the most excitement for Milwaukee Bucks fans in over a decade. If you have avoided the "Own the Future" marketing campaign up to this point, just get ready for it to become increasingly ubiquitous as the season approaches (along with "Fear the Deer.")
The most notable highlight of the schedule is that it features 12 games on national television, compared to only two last year with the team's expectations at an all-time low. This demonstrates that the team is no longer irrelevant, and is receiving a growing level of national interest.
Other highlights:
The Bucks open the season against GM Phil Jackson's (potentially) historically bad New York Knicks on October 28th. The world champion Golden State Warriors will stop by Milwaukee on December 12th, Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will visit on November 14th and April 5th, and the rival Chicago Bulls will run through the BMO Harris Bradley Center on January 12th and April 3rd.
The full printable schedule is available here.
In case you missed it, here are the highlights of Bucks forward Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetekounmpo dominating the NBA Africa game on Aug. 1st.
