Eric Buenning is a perpetual couch potato with an abnormally high amount of optimism for the Bucks. He enjoys tweeting more than most human interaction and is highly susceptible to moments of swog. He seeks patience from the readers, as this is his first job in this field. He’s also 6-4, 230, and is an almost decent free-throw shooter.
Welcome to part 2 of the 45th season, 45 reasons article. As I stated in part 1, a few of things are serious, but most of them are for fun. The season is dangerously close, and we want to head into it with high spirits. Again, this list was made possible by suggestions from the [...]
This year marks the 44th 45th season of Milwaukee Bucks basketball. Do you know what that means? Why, 44 45 things we’re looking forward to, of course! We? Yes. Bucksketball darling Jon Hartzell, our millions of fans, and I have put our brains together and have come up with 44 45 things we’re all looking forward to. Some [...]
Welcome back, Milwaukee Bucks basketball. Oh, how I have missed you. Oh, how I can’t believe I’d ever say that sincerely. But seriously, does anyone else feel the same way? Does anyone else miss the same things I miss? Please, allow me to elaborate.
It’s a fair bit of amazing how little we hear about some of the more charitable aspects of NBA players lives. To be fair, when Bucksketball gets the average e-mail about a player doing an event at the local mall or building a home for Habitat for Humanity, we don’t shine much light on it. [...]
Hey, guess what’s only roughly 1,848 hours away! That’s right; it’s the Bucks’ season opener in Boston! While a lot of “the herd” out there is approaching this season as one full of cautioned…uhhh..well, they’re not so excited about it, simply put. Well I for one am…less unexcited about this season. No really. I am [...]
Bucks GM John Hammond recently sat down with Bill Ingram of HoopsWorld to discuss Summer League, the Bogut departure (that led to an offseason need), and his feelings on the draft. He also—in classic John Hammond style—offered up this little quote, when asked if the Bucks were done with free agency or still looking to [...]
The Bucks opened up their Summer League schedule with a victory, defeating the (Anthony Davis-less) New Orleans Hornets 76-68. The Bucks were led by rookie Doron Lamb (20p/4r), current roster member Tobias Harris (19p) and relative unknown Jarrid Famous (13p/11r). So yeah, basically who you thought was going to star, right? Both Lamb and Harris [...]
(Today, Eric Buenning tells us why a contract extension for Brandon Jennings is just what the Bucks need. Tomorrow, I ruin everything. – JS) I may not be in the majority here, but I feel strongly that the Bucks should try to keep Brandon Jennings. Jennings and the Bucks should start talking contract extension soon [...]
Today, GM John Hammond announced the 2012 Roster for the Bucks’ Summer League, slated to take place in Las Vegas from July 16-22. The Bucks’ most recent draft picks John Henson and Doron Lamb will be there, as well as current Bucks players Tobias Harris and Larry Sanders. The Bucks are high on all four [...]
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 [...]
