Zach Lowe over at Grantland had a fantastic article detailing innovations in NBA tactics. The Milwaukee Bucks are forging ahead in their own innovation. Traditionally, a frontcourt is filled with guys with great strength and big behinds. John Henson, Larry Sanders, and Ekpe Udoh sacrifice those traits for greater length and speed. Moving to faster, [...]

The foundation of the Milwaukee Bucks defense is kind of shaky. They can protect the rim, there’s no doubt about that. The Bucks plethora of blocks against the Detroit Pistons proves that. In their effort to protect the rim, their combination of slow-to-rotate wings and wild, wacky, and young power forwards leave the weakside open. [...]

Ekpe Udoh is injured. My heart breaks. He sprained his left knee and will be out 10 days to two weeks. From Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Udoh was injured while racing back to block a shot by Cleveland’s Jon Leuer in the Bucks’ 97-80 preseason victory Tuesday night in Canton, Ohio. “I [...]

Preseason is here! Milwaukee Bucks at Cleveland Cavaliers Preview

I’m changing the Bucksketball game previews format. Spicing things up, making things pop and moving to a format with a free-form beginning that’ll address an issue of the game. That’ll be paired up with regular categories to keep things familiar. It’s still preseason, so the format is a work in process and I’d love if [...]

Four feet. That was the difference between Lebron James winning a title last season and losing one the season before. To clarify, that’s four feet closer to the basket. Tobias Harris wants to be that four feet closer than other wings his age and he operates well there. For that reason alone, the Bucks should [...]

Larry Sanders caught a lot of flak for pulling the “Hold me back! Hold me back!” routine against the Indiana Pacers. It was well-deserved. Sanders started the incident. He’d been playing recklessly before that game. He deserved all the scorn he got. But allow me to posit another premise.

Whenever Doron Lamb hits a big three – and he will – I can’t decide between shouting, “Lamb, Bam, Thank you Ma’am” or “Wham, Bam, Thank you Lamb.” The differences are small, but the decision is huge.

I was talking to Jeremy after the Joel Przybilla signing. He said that at the time, he felt the Bucks could have taken Lakers in 2001. “But Shaq,” I said. “Well I remember thinking the Bucks had Przybilla,” he said. Then we laughed. The Bucks traded Jason Collier and a future first round draft pick [...]
