Memphis Grizzlies 99 Final Recap | Box Score 95 Milwaukee Bucks Ersan Ilyasova, PF 43 MIN | 5-11 FG | 8-12 FT | 16 REB | 3 AST | 20 PTS | +9 I did not envy Ersan Ilyasova during this game. He was guarding either Marc Gasol or Zach Randolph for the majority of [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 121 Final Recap | Box Score 84 Cleveland Cavaliers Ersan Ilyasova, PF 24 MIN | 9-11 FG | 0-0 FT | 10 REB | 2 AST | 20 PTS | +12 Huge start for Ersan as he put up 14 points in his first eight minutes. Everything else was just going through the [...]
I’m ready to ride the Ekpe Udoh bandwagon straight to hell and back even if it’s for really superfluous reasons like his middle name which is my favorite movie, song and day. There are real reasons to like Udoh’s play so far. With Ersan Ilyasova out, Udoh started and had to step up his rebounding. [...]
The Bucks’ 5 games in 6 nights stretch is over, and unfortunately, they won the least important two. Losing to Boston, New York, and Indiana only pushed them further out of playoff contention. Last night’s 33 point outburst from Monta Ellis seems to have given the franchise a ray of hope, only a day after [...]
Atlanta Hawks 101 Final Recap | Box Score 108 Milwaukee Bucks Ekpe Udoh, PF 31 MIN | 3-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 8 PTS | +5 I’m man-crushing pretty hard on Udoh. He fills holes everyone else misses. Plays great defense without fouling. He constantly moving his feet [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 80 Final Recap | Box Score 89 New York Knicks Ersan Ilyasova, PF 19 MIN | 0-2 FG | 2-2 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -19 The Knicks outrebounded the Bucks 54-41. It shouldn’t have been that lopsided. Not with Stoudemire out. And not with the Knicks [...]
Three games in three days. A daunting task when you think about the speed and skill of NBA players. There are no nights off when a game is on the schedule. It’s hard for the best NBA team to loaf its way through a game, much less a team like the Milwaukee Bucks. But every [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 112 Final Recap | Box Score 92 Charlotte Bobcats Ersan Ilyasova, PF 22 MIN | 6-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 15 PTS | +4 You’ll hear that the Bucks were tired I’m sure. You’ll hear that shots just didn’t fall, all the excuses we’ve all heard [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 112 Final Recap | Box Score 92 Charlotte Bobcats Ersan Ilyasova, PF 22 MIN | 6-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 15 PTS | +4 Pretty awesome game from Ilyasova. While his fellow starters matched points and shot attempts, Milwaukee’s suddenly powerful forward once again piled up [...]
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 [...]
