The Bucks have their last day of rest from All-Star Weekend today before returning to the court in Milwaukee tomorrow against the Timberwolves. And since the team isn’t in the running for Carmelo Anthony, sports journalists didn’t spend much time on the 21-34 Bucks. Here’s what I was able to dig up. News Jeremy already [...]
From the Milwaukee Bucks: The Milwaukee Bucks have assigned rookie forward Larry Sanders to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Indiana) of the NBA Development League (D-League), General Manager John Hammond announced today. Fort Wayne is led by Head Coach Joey Meyer, who previously coached the Bucks D-League affiliate in Tulsa. Sanders will meet with the [...]
It was the highest in a series of highs. If his home debut against the Pistons started to turn heads, the 55 point game demanded all eyes be on him. But, had Brandon Jennings never slapped a leaky Golden State defense upside the head with 55 points on that fateful November night, what would we [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy For the Bucks to score consistently and be a good offensive team in general, someone different has to step up every game. That was the line on the Bucks earlier this season. Since then, things have kind of went awry and rather than having someone step up every night, more often than not, [...]
Passing along a terrific interview with Bucks Assistant General Manager Jeff Weltman on BusinessInsider.com. Here’s an excerpt: I was going to mention the Pistons getting Chauncey Billups before he was a star and Rip Hamilton through a trade, and Ben Wallace was a leftover piece in the Grant Hill trade. It’s pretty rare. Granted, you [...]
Michael Redd is getting close. He may not be ready in a week, or even two. It may take a month before he’s back to practicing with the whole team in a five-on-five setting, but soon enough a decision will have to be made. Will Redd eventually be added to the active roster? Will he [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Every now and then, the Bucks show us all that they can still be pretty good. There’s typically a catch though. Raptors. Nets. Cavs. Wizards. Clippers. Those are the last five opponents Milwaukee has defeated by double digits. So maybe it’s not time to bust out the hot tubs filled with champagne just [...]
“I doubt anybody is going to guard (Blake Griffin) any better than that one-on-one,” Scott Skiles said of Luc Mbah a Moute after Milwaukee’s 102-78 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Monday night. This wasn’t Mbah a Moute’s first great defensive game though, and it likely won’t be his last. But even on the nights [...]
John Hammond has some explaining to do. The Bucks have now lost 7 of their last 8 and team morale seems to be as low as the teams shooting percentage. Is there a backup plan? Should we shut down Bogut and focus on next season, and give our young players a chance to develop? One [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
