We know Andrew Bogut is going to be out (UPDATE: We now know it will be 8-to-12 weeks too. Damn). His ankle won’t unfracture quickly. Whether or not this torpedoes Milwaukee’s already fragile season largely depends on who replaces the majority of Bogut’s 30 minutes each night. The early candidate is Drew Gooden. He will likely get the [...]
Andrew Bogut rolled his ankle upon falling on Houston point guard Kyle Lowry in the Bucks 105 – 99 victory on Wednesday. John Hammond Announcement on the Bucks Twitter page: Andrew returned to Milwaukee this morning to be evaluated by Bucks orthopaedic physician, and to undergo a MRI exam on his left ankle. The results [...]
I don’t wish to alarm you, but slowly and surely over the past few years, something has changed in the Eastern Conference, little by little. And this season, it’s more evident than it has been in quite some time. The East isn’t really the Least any more. The 2004-05 season was the last time the [...]
500 Days of Summer on girls being full of it: Tom: Look, we don’t have to put a label on it. That’s fine. I get it. But, you know, I just… I need some consistency. Summer: I know. Tom: I need to know that you’re not gonna wake up in the morning and feel differently. [...]
Atlanta Hawks 97 Final Recap | Box Score 92 Milwaukee Bucks Andrew Bogut, C 25 MIN | 3-10 FG | 0-0 FT | 12 REB | 4 AST | 6 PTS | 0 Offensively, Bogut isn’t where he wants to be, he isn’t where the Bucks want him to be and he isn’t where Scott [...]
The Bucks tag team of Bogut and Mbah a Moute: “Twice the mayhem!” It’s easy to credit Andrew Bogut with the success of the Bucks defense. In the way that we give quarterbacks or point guards credit for wins, we often attribute the success of an NBA team’s defense to its center. He’s the quarterback [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 91 Final Recap | Box Score 82 Miami Heat Shaun Livingston, PG 39 MIN | 3-7 FG | 4-4 FT | 5 REB | 5 AST | 10 PTS | +11 One of Livingston’s biggest assets is his size, not only because it lets him post up smaller players on offense, but because [...]
Denver Nuggets 105 Final Recap | Box Score 95 Milwaukee Bucks Stephen Jackson, SG 17 MIN | 0-6 FG | 2-2 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 2 PTS | -20 Holy hell. It’s tough to say Collapsin’ Jackson’s season has been a roller coaster ride. It’s been more like that episode of [...]
We may be just 12 games into the new season, but it sure feels like the Milwaukee Bucks are heading down the same road they traveled last season. A road plagued with stop signs, red lights and crosswalks. It was never a smooth drive for the Bucks last season en route to the NBA’s worst [...]
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 [...]
