Is it me, or do things seem just a bit brighter this Monday morning? The birds are out chirping, the sun is shining bright, foliage has just a little more pop of color and life to it. There's only one thing that could herald such a wholesale change on my outlook on life: The return of Bucks basketball. (Or a close approximation)
I mean, sure, it is just Summer League basketball and thus largely worthless in extrapolating future results, but it is basketball featuring guys in “Milwaukee” uniforms nonetheless. The marquee names are a little different from the regular season (think DJ Wilson instead of Giannis Antetokounmpo) and the variance in scoring is almost as wild as that in high school basketball games.
