These might be the consumate clips that define both Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick defensively. Both have their flaws, but their flaws are very different. Ultimately, regardless of difference, they were both exposed on a number of occasions in Milwaukee’s 103-102 loss Saturday night to the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks finished the game 14-of-28 from [...]
Early on in the 2009-10 season, we all watched the Milwaukee Bucks miss mid-range jumper after mid-range jumper. They had no one capable of getting to the rim and precious few 3-point shooters. This was a team that frequently started Charlie freaking Bell at the shooting guard position. But then Andrew Bogut got more assertive, Jerry [...]
From ESPN: If anyone was wondering what exactly last year’s most offensively efficient team did differently from last year’s least efficient team, here’s the chart that spells it all out. Most efficient shots are at the rim, at the three or are free throw attempts. The Bucks spend a lot of time not trying these [...]
Tweeted this during the Bucks-Clippers game Monday evening: Milwaukee had just come out of a timeout, a full timeout, and ended up with one of the worst shots they’ve attempted all season. Without question the worst one I’ve seen them produce after a timeout. This is a team that ran one of the finest sets [...]
Over at Hardwood Paroxysm, Rob Mahoney takes a loot at Manu Ginobili’s final play from another angle in his Have Ball Will Travel series and clarifies things.
Enemy: The Two Man Game Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Jason Kidd Kidd leads the Mavs in both 3-pointers made and attempted, so Jennings will need to keep his wits about him in the half court. 80.6% of Kidd’s threes come off assists and 63.2% of his makes overall come on passes from teammates. Jennings [...]
UPDATE: I’ve got the whole video thing going now. So that’s kind of cool. This is just the tip of the iceberg my friends. Here’s the video of the play diagrammed below, so you know what I’m talking about. Every so often I’ll be diagramming a play from a Bucks game that I thought was [...]
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 [...]
