Ian Segovia has been watching the Milwaukee Bucks for several years and has been writing for about as long. Those are all his qualifications.
Michael Redd was twice the player that Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis currently are combined. Redd had a great understanding of what he could and couldn’t do. Redd couldn’t pass. So he didn’t pass. He couldn’t rebound, so he didn’t rebound. He couldn’t play defense, so he never even tried. But he could shoot. [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks have lost four out of their last five games by double digits. They have lost seven of the last nine. This isn’t a regression to the mean. This is getting punched in the face. The slide began in a 102 – 98 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. Surprisingly, the Bucks won [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 99 FinalRecap | Box Score 110 San Antonio Spurs Ekpe Udoh, PF 26 MIN | 2-4 FG | 3-4 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 7 PTS | -13Udoh and Sanders did a fine job on the initial defense, but they couldn’t stop the second chance opportunities. The Spurs shot poorly [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 85 FinalRecap | Box Score 95 Minnesota Timberwolves Monta Ellis, PG 36 MIN | 8-22 FG | 1-2 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 18 PTS | -10Here is the perfect song to describe the Jellis backcourt Brandon Jennings, PG 35 MIN | 6-19 FG | 3-4 FT | 6 REB [...]
New York Knicks 102 FinalRecap | Box Score 88 Milwaukee Bucks Tobias Harris, SF 10 MIN | 1-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -3Unsurprisingly, Carmelo Anthony was unstoppable. He backed up Marquis Daniels too easily and he shot over Daniels for a few threes just as [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 93 FinalRecap | Box Score 92 Chicago Bulls Ekpe Udoh, PF 29 MIN | 5-9 FG | 1-1 FT | 6 REB | 2 AST | 11 PTS | +11This guy had the game-winning basket. He played Joakim Noah to a rebounding stalemate. His interior defense was an exceptional part of the comeback. [...]
This is a pretty easy preview. The Milwaukee Bucks should do the things they sucked at on Saturday better. Boom. I’ve saved you guys a few minutes of reading the next few paragraphs. The two things the Bulls won overwhelmingly on Saturday: free throws and rebounding. They will not win either of these battles tonight. [...]
Instead of a preview today, here are a bunch of pictures of the Milwaukee Bucks being terrible at defense. Kemba Walker ran a pick and roll with Brendan Haywood. What I enjoy most about this one is that Brandon Jennings and Samuel Dalembert have opted to guard neither Walker or Haywood and just sit where the PNR occurred. Usually guys [...]
Kemba Walker has nearly tripled his amount of attempts at the rim. Last year, he averaged less than three – this year, he has been averaging seven attempts at the rim per game. To put that in perspective, Derrick Rose averaged only six attempts per game in his MVP season. Walker isn’t just doing it [...]
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 [...]
