Good lord am I excited to watch the Milwaukee Bucks in this second round of the Playoffs. I’m embarrassed to admit how feverishly I’ve been searching “Bucks-Celtics playoff schedule” these last few days, but mercifully they’ve finally unveiled the full slate of games for this matchup.
Selfishly, I’m pretty stoked that the series tips off on Sunday at noon so that I can watch Game of Throne unimpeded that evening, but it also means we get Bucks basketball back even sooner. The matinee games are do seem a bit off-kilter though, perhaps even more so after both these teams went on such prolonged layoffs. Hopefully, as Mitchell laid out in his preview and prediction, the Bucks can prevail. Unfortunately the tip times are still TBD for almost all the games, but at the very least we’re past NBA TV territory. Here’s the full schedule:
Game 1 - Sun. April 28
- Venue - Fiserv Forum
- Tipoff - 12:00 PM
- Television - ABC
Game 2 - Tue. April 30

Game 3 - Fri. May 3

Phew, my palms are getting sweaty already. Sunday can’t come soon enough.
