“We’ve got to turn it right from the very beginning. We’re not Oklahoma City or Miami or someone like that. We’ve got to play hard for 48 minutes. I played guys a lot of minutes tonight but I just needed a group out there that was playing with some energy. I need more guys out [...]
With the 14th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected John Henson. A power forward out of North Carolina, Henson left college after his junior season.

The good folks at the SURG Restaurant Group were kind enough to donate a gift card good at any of their terrific restaurants in Milwaukee to Bucksketball.com. After considering grabbing some food and heading out of town to live a life on the run, I’ve decided to offer up the gift card to the people [...]
If this was Scott Skiles’ last home game as the Milwaukee Bucks coach, and there are reports out there that it was, he and the Bucks certainly went out with a whimper. In his final post game conference he handled questions the same way he always did. Until the last question. A reporter asked if [...]
As a promising 2009-10 season wound down, Scott Skiles regularly spoke fondly of Ersan Ilyasova. He predicted good things from his power foward. Ilyasova was impressing nightly with his effort and shooting stroke from deep. Skiles said they expected Ilyasova to take a step forward in the future and turn into a strong rebounding forward [...]
Brandon Jennings has always been credited for his work ethic. That’s never been the problem. Getting the results where he, and the rest of us, would like them has been the issue. I pick on him a lot and I can be pretty negative at times, but in the interest of being fair, I present [...]

I’ve been beating the rebuild drum for quite a while. I’ve watched Oklahoma City and more recently, the Minnesota Timberwolves, load themselves up with talented young players. I’ve seen them flounder and flourish. I’ve also seen the risks. The Washington Wizards present the flip side of the destroy and rebuild plan. Sure, they landed John [...]

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 [...]
