Milwaukee Bucks Tickets

Milwaukee Bucks have had it rough lately. The good thing is that the think tank seems to have decided that the old way of doing things wasn’t working so a major overhaul is required. And they have taken steps for it immediately. New coaches are hired who will be working with a crop of new players with a lot of potential. The owners are trying to put foundations in place for the long run. How strong the base is, only time will tell. Fans can show their support for the team by buying Milwaukee Bucks tickets. Every party involved has to play their part in order to make this a successful transition back to the top.

The Beginning

Marvin Fishman and Wesley Pavalon led a consortium to get an NBA franchise for Milwaukee. Their hard work paid off in the year 1968 when the league approved an expansion team for the city. Their first season on the whole didn’t provide too much to boast about but that wasn’t too surprising considering the fact they were new to the sport.

Major Success

However, Milwaukee Bucks didn’t take too long to make a mark on the league and posted a winning record in their second season. More was to come and in 1970-1971 season, Bucks went 66-16 and were crowned division champions.  They won their first conference title the same season. Facing them in the NBA finals were Baltimore Bullets who lost 4-0 to bring Milwaukee its first ever NBA championship.

They won division titles for the next three seasons and a conference championship as well in 1974. They capped off a very successful decade by clinching their fifth division crown of the decade in 1976. The Bucks then went on to win for their division for seven straight years between 1980 and 1986. The wheels came off the Milwaukee Bucks juggernaut after that season and what followed was a prolonged period of mediocrity.

1990’s Till Now

The Bucks did manage to record five winning seasons after 1986 but had seven straight losing seasons between 1992 and 1998. Things picked up pace again and the Milwaukee Bucks posted a winning season in 1999. That was followed by them winning their thirteenth and last division title in the year 2001. Only four out of the next twelve campaigns saw them post winning seasons on the board.

The downturn in the team’s form has prompted the owners to make big changes from top to bottom. The team is young and they are expected to get better. If everyone sticks together then there is no reason why the Bucks can’t turn things around because they certainly have got the potential. They have got nothing to lose but everything to win and that makes the next few years, starting this season, highly intriguing to watch.
