Spoiler alert: I could never be an NBA general manager. There are tons of reasons. Not smart enough. Lousy at networking. Don’t work hard enough. Generally a grating person to be around for extended periods of time. Poor leader. Not enough basketball experience. I’m getting a little bummed out, so I’ll just toss one more [...]
As players around the league begin to report to their respective teams to start training for the 2012-13 NBA season, many teams should feel as if they have assembled the team that would give them the best shot at success this year. This year, the Milwaukee Bucks were set on solidifying its low post presence. [...]
Hey, guess what’s only roughly 1,848 hours away! That’s right; it’s the Bucks’ season opener in Boston! While a lot of “the herd” out there is approaching this season as one full of cautioned…uhhh..well, they’re not so excited about it, simply put. Well I for one am…less unexcited about this season. No really. I am [...]
If nothing else, we’ll always have this. After three seasons of fairly reliably average performance as a Milwaukee Buck, Carlos Delfino has signed with the Houston Rockets. This is both not a surprise and very surprising. Delfino’s departure has all but been assured since last season ended. While John Hammond praised Ersan Ilyasova and frequently [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks are now prepared for a potential Andrew Bogut injury. Better late than never, I suppose. The Journal-Sentinel is reporting that Joel Przybilla has agreed to a one-year contract with the Bucks. The 32-year-old center returns to the team that traded for him on draft night in 2000. Przybilla played in 27 games [...]
We all remember the “Fear the Deer” campaign It wasn’t just cool because it rhymed – although that was pretty neat for chanting purposes. While it may have helped the players on the court, “Fear the Deer” extended well beyond the 94-foot confines of an NBA court. It captured the fans and made them buy [...]
On the court, it’s been a very good summer for the Milwaukee Bucks. A big part of that has been Tobias Harris, the 19th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. After receiving sporadic minutes last season, he was named to the Las Vegas Summer League All-Star team. He looked a little bit leaner and equally [...]
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 [...]
Shirley, you’ve noticed the additional writers brought onto the Bucksketball staff lately … haven’t you? ANSWER ME SHIRLEY! Airplane. Nailed it. Ahem. We thought it would be fun to kick around a couple of late July questions to get kind of a pre-post free agency analysis of where things stand for the Bucks right now. [...]
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 [...]
