Are all of you Milwaukee Bucks fans having some fun this season?

How could it not be fun and exciting watching this young team grow?

Well I don’t want to rain on anyone’s Milwaukee Bucks happy train, but the month of December could bring very different results.

Next month Milwaukee plays 15 games, including 10 on the road, and a four-game West Coast trip.

Milwaukee ended the month of November with a record of 10-8, currently second in the Central Division and fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The last thing I want to do is take anything away from this team so far, but part of their early season success is certainly based on their “soft” schedule.

The Bucks have played some woeful teams this month like the Nets, Knicks, and Pistons (x3).

We’ll see how Milwaukee transitions into tougher competition next month.

But don’t forget, the Bucks closed out this month nicely.  They bounced back from two bad losses against the Raptors and Wizards the week before, and finished the last week of November with a 3-1 record.

Before we preview Milwaukee’s tough month of December, let’s look at this final week, what they did well, and one weakness I’m still worried about down the road.
