Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It’s like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I’m sorry.
He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not.

For a second, it seemed like the Milwaukee Bucks were going to pull off an improbable home upset of the still definitely playing for something Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The Bucks had trailed most of the game, but never fell completely out of reach of a dangerous Denver team. But the lead changed hands [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 104 Final Recap | Box Score 109 Atlanta Hawks John Henson, PF 26 MIN | 3-8 FG | 2-4 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 3 STL | 2 BLK | 3 TO | 8 PTS | -1Plenty of learning experiences in this one for Henson. 1. On a pick and [...]
I’ve been saying the whole time, it’s the wins that are the problem, not the losses. Quite a bit of Milwaukee Bucks fan outrage has bubbled to the surface since the devastating finish and flourish of Tobias Harris Wednesday night in Orlando and it’s difficult not to say that it’s justifiable. But it doesn’t seem worthwhile to [...]
As Tobias Harris sat with one knee on the ground, arm extended into a balled up fist in celebration after hitting a three that would lead either to overtime or a regulation Orlando Magic win over the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquis Daniels pleaded with the ref to undo the mistake he just made, I could [...]
Check out LarryBlocks.com for more video. In a year wrought with the sort of mediocre performances that leave a team stuck exactly in the middle of the NBA, the worst place to be, two things have stood out in Milwaukee. Shining beacons of hope. The kinds of things that keep fans interested and can even [...]
I sat in the best seats I’d ever had in my entire life for a Milwaukee Bucks game on Saturday night. Center court, on the court. The refs couldn’t head to their private replay screen to review a play without getting in my face. I heard Amir Johnson complain about the chicken wings he’d eaten [...]

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 [...]
