Obviously I’m not the highest on the resigning of Ersan Ilyasova. Or on most of the things the Milwaukee Bucks have done over the past couple of years. I was still under the Fear the Deer spell through the Stephen Jackson move, but since then, the Mike Dunleavy deal was fine and draft picks are draft picks, but [...]
Much ado has been made of Stephen Jackson’s resurrection in San Antonio during the playoffs. He’s averaging 7.2 points on 50% shooting in 20 minutes per game. A stark contrast to the brutal numbers he produced while languishing in Milwaukee earlier this season. A relationship that started with what seemed like so much potential, with [...]
I’m not negative just for the sake of being negative. If you read my last post, if you follow me on Twitter or are a friend of mine on Facebook, you probably think I think this is the worst trade of all time. I don’t feel that way. I get the deal and I see [...]
Here’s a timeline: 2003 February 20, 2003 – Bucks trade Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Ronald Murray and a conditional draft pick for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason. 2004 February 15, 2004 – Bucks trade Tim Thomas and Joel Przybilla for Keith Van Horn. 2005 February 24, 2005 – Bucks trade Keith Van Horn for Calvin [...]
After reporters finished talking with Stephen Jackson, the pack moved to a dressing Brandon Jennings. He was short with his answers about his performance and seemed hell bent on getting away from the media without saying anything incriminating. When pressed about his game specifically, his eyes wandered up to the ceiling. In short, if I’m [...]
Eric Maroun wrote an awesome post over at Hardwood Paroxysm. It compares each player’s Usage Rate to their PER. Usage Rate is the percent of possessions a player uses while on the court. PER measures the overall statistical contribution of a player. The Bucks chart suggests that Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih and Tobias Harris eat [...]
If you’re not talking about an NBA title, don’t come and talk to Stephen Jackson. The most colorful character the Miwaukee Bucks have had in some time held court with the media on Saturday and, as always, failed to disappoint. Here’s a collection of Jackson quotables provided without questions asked or referenced, because they are [...]
I have never raced home to watch one quarter of a DVR’d basketball game that I attended. I have never known a player was about to do something terrific. I have never had over 50 Bucks related texts messages in a half hour. I have never been so at a loss for words when describing what someone on the Bucks did.
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 [...]
