The Milwaukee Bucks faced the same problem against the Kings and the Jazz in their past two games that they faced at the beginning of the season last year. They were the favorites! They need to be underdogs, need us to write them off before the game gets started. Fortunately they are playing a team [...]
“I doubt anybody is going to guard (Blake Griffin) any better than that one-on-one,” Scott Skiles said of Luc Mbah a Moute after Milwaukee’s 102-78 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Monday night. This wasn’t Mbah a Moute’s first great defensive game though, and it likely won’t be his last. But even on the nights [...]
Enemy: Clipperblog Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Baron Davis It’s safe to say Davis cares again. In seven February games he’s averaging 19 points and 8.6 assists on 44.1% shooting overall and 41.4% shooting from three-point range. If Jennings put up numbers like that for a month in the next year, I’d eat a shoe. [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy They survived so much. All the dunking, all the lobs, all the spin moves, all the ferocity and all the violence. The Bucks survived all that and were right there in the fourth quarter Monday night against the Clippers. This is no small task. L.A. had won eight straight at home coming into [...]
Milwaukee Bucks: not super athletic. Los Angeles Clippers: super athletic. Proof. Oh. And the Clippers won the game too. Thanks to Ike Diogu. I’ll explain later. Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball.com. Follow him on Twitter. Then become a fan on Facebook (in the sidebar).
Enemy: Clipperblog Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Baron Davis Brandon Jennings is back, but Dooling will likely start for at least one more game. Coach Skiles indicated that a minute limit may be on Jennings for the first few games of his return until they can see how his foot is reacting and make sure [...]
Yesterday was an interesting day around the NBA. Not so much for the Bucks, they lost again, in a depressing way, but there was something else notable in the league. Something that had me recalling Brandon Jennings’s 55-point game and got me to thinking about how I felt then and how I feel now. Blake [...]
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 [...]
