Damn you Jodie Meeks. You caught my eye again Tuesday night. Just 13 points, nothing like some of your games this season, but you were steady again. Three of five from deep, your third straight game in double figures. We’ll be seeing you again soon, Milwaukee heads to Philadelphia on Friday, but it didn’t have [...]
After all these months of basketball inactivity, it’s certainly nice to have an actual real live NBA regular season game to look through. That it’s a Bucks loss is a bummer though. Fortunately, from failure, lessons can be learned. Lesson One: Ersan Ilyasova’s consistency may still be an issue. It’s one game (I should just [...]
I’m all for Milwaukee Bucks basketball, but it is still pre-season. Brandon Jennings v. John Wall should be entertaining tonight, you know neither of them wants to let the other get the best of him, but I don’t suspect this to be the game that finally gets me excited about exhibition sports. I’ll get back [...]
Royce Young from CBSSports gives you his seven teams to watch as apart of League Pass Broadbanda. Guess which team makes the cut? (Hint: this is a Milwaukee Bucks website) Charles F. Gardner writes about the Bucks desire for a loud and proud home crowd. “Sellout crowds of 18,717 attended Games 3, 4 and 6, [...]
I thought this was pretty cool. That new scoreboard at the Bradley Center sure looks like an improvement. ******** If you haven’t checked out John Hollinger’s extended Bucks season preview yet, take the time to do so. It’s very, very thorough and well thought out. What I thought especially seemed on point was his failure [...]
Another familiar face has joined the Milwaukee Bucks. From the team: The Milwaukee Bucks have signed forward-center Brian Skinner (6-9, 255) to a contract, General Manager John Hammond announced today. A 12-year NBA veteran, Skinner has played in 605 games and holds career averages of 4.8 points and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 49.4 percent from [...]
I don’t recall seeing too many videos like this of Elliot Perry, Terrell Brandon, Haywoode Workman, Sam Cassell, Damon Jones or Mo Williams. T.J. Ford probably has some of these floating around somewhere though. But still, it’s fun to see a member of the Milwaukee Bucks hobnobbing on the court with other terrific young players [...]
Regardless of who is discussing the moves the Bucks have made this past off-season, one thing they are sure to mention is the depth Milwaukee has added. At the conclusion of last season, the end of the Bucks bench featured an offensively challenged Royal Ivey, a coordinately challenged Primoz Brezec and Charlie Bell, who couldn’t [...]
Typically, patience isn’t a strong suit of sports fans. Instant gratification is the name of the game. Fans are paying money, they’re living and dying with their favorite teams games every night, they don’t want to hear about some rebuilding plan that’s going to force them to wait a few years for success. They want [...]
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 [...]
