Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup with Toronto Raptors begins at 4:30 pm on Saturday afternoon on ESPN. Sadly for all of us, Bucks-Raptors are the annual NBATV series. I believe this has something to do with Canada, more so than the opponents because TNT or ESPN cannot pull in the ratings. News will come out next week that I will be off from Tuesday until Sunday morning taking a vacation during the final week of April. That just happens to be the end of the first round for basketball and hockey plus NFL Draft and baseball. But seriously, I miss nothing! In reality, I’d rather be on vacation, and we’ll see about sneaking in some Bucks action.

As someone with cable, I’m not really mad about the NBATV games, but it does bum me out for the bars. I really hope Bucks send out a memo about what channel you can find NBATV on Spectrum, formerly Time Warner, and U-Verse. It would be a great injustice if Bucks fans couldn’t watch games out due to the NBATV. If you want to go to Bradley Center, Thursday or Saturday are for you. Tickets are still available, but my guess is with a Thursday and a Saturday night.

Can’t wait.

Charlie.
