I’ve recently been complaining quite a bit about how many shots Ersan Ilyasova has been getting. He’s possibly the most efficient player on the Bucks and he’s been lights out from three over his past 30 games or so. Let’s break down Ilyasova’s season in smaller segments: So he’s been very good over the past [...]
Just pretend this guy is saying “them” instead of “him” – it’s fun. The Milwaukee Bucks have played 13 games under new Head Coach Jim Boylan. They’ve won eight and lost five. But he’s much less concerned about wins and losses. He’s concerned with how his team is actually playing. If they’re struggling badly but [...]
For some reason, Brandon Jennings has been a terrible player in February. It’s been a pretty consistent thread throughout his three seasons. 2011-12: 15.1 points, 5.2 assists on 33.6 FG% and 26.8 3FG% 2010-11: 11.4 points, 3.9 assists on 34 FG% and 24 3FG% 2009-10: 10.7 points, 5.5 assists on 30.7 FG% and 31.1 3FG% [...]
Everything was set up perfectly. This would be the first year since 2004 that the Milwaukee Bucks would have an All-Star. Derrick Rose has been out all season. The Celtics have struggled, the Sixers have struggled and the Cavs have been the Cavs. Opposing point guards are playing on bad teams and in tiebreaker scenarios, [...]
It seems like it’s been forever, at least a few weeks if not a month, since everyone last talked about how good Larry Sanders was. Let us not let this tragedy carry out for another day. “Larry’s a young guy. I’m probably not playing him enough,” Jim Boylan said with a chuckle when I asked [...]
Through seven games under rest of the season coach Jim Boylan, the Milwaukee Bucks have gone 5-2 and impressively finished a four game road trip a little bit to the East and a lot of bit to the West at 3-1. After losing their last four games under ex-coach Scott Skiles, it’s been a refreshing [...]

If you haven’t read it already, check out James Herbert’s interview with Milwaukee Bucks’ new cult hero Larry Sanders. Despite it being a must-read because it’s simply Bucks news, it gives us a little bit deeper insight into what has made up the big man Bucks fans have all come to love this season. [...]
We’re about a third of the way through the season. The trading deadline is just over a month and a half away. Today, ESPN’s 5-on-5 was about five teams that could be buyers or sellers. The Bucks were one of the teams. I predicted they’d be buyers based on the organizations patterns over the past [...]
After 23 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets, Larry Sanders has now played 640 minutes on the season. That’s significant because the third year pro played only 643 minutes in 52 games in last year’s lockout shortened 2011-12 season. So through virtually the same number of minutes, how is Sanders doing this year? In a couple [...]
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 [...]
