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 [...]
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 [...]
Danny Granger sure was important. A year removed from being the three-seed in the East, the Indiana Pacers (3-5) are struggling without their All-Star forward who will be out the next three months due to Patellar tendonitis in his left knee. And it’s not like the Pacers are struggling against good teams, either. Their three [...]
Andrew Bynum was sold to Sixers fans as hope of a very bright tomorrow. A tomorrow that would make the years of mediocrity they’ve experienced since Allen Iverson left just exercises in building character that would be rewarded. Andrew Bynum is not going to play basketball before January. Such is the life of tossing your franchise’s future in the [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks game versus the Washington Wizards will not be broadcast on FSN Wisconsin. That’s alright though because the Wizards are train wreck. They’re dead last in offensive efficiency and ranked twenty-third in defensive efficiency. So it’s almost a godsend not having to watch that team. If anyone actually wants to watch the [...]
Larry Sanders has been great this season. He’s been so great that I’ve finally bestowed upon him the prestigious title of “Professional Basketball Player.” I realize that’s an incredibly condescending thing to say, but I mean that in the best way possible. I’m not just happy that Sanders is playing well – I’m happy for [...]
There should be a considerable amount of confidence going into the home opener. The Cleveland Cavaliers were on the receiving end of a blowout as the Milwaukee Bucks steamrolled the Boston Celtics. The Cavs were down 60 – 35 at half before the Chicago Bulls let up on the way to a 115 – 86 [...]
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 [...]
