I sat in the best seats I’d ever had in my entire life for a Milwaukee Bucks game on Saturday night. Center court, on the court. The refs couldn’t head to their private replay screen to review a play without getting in my face. I heard Amir Johnson complain about the chicken wings he’d eaten [...]
Toronto Raptors 83 Final Recap | Box Score 100 Milwaukee Bucks Larry Sanders, C 27 MIN | 5-7 FG | 2-2 FT | 9 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 6 BLK | 1 TO | 12 PTS | +27Yes, two of his six blocks could easily be disputed, but the six puts [...]
The Bucks make me sad. The seventh seed in the East is there for them to take but they seem incapable of playing with the consistency or ability needed for them to obtain it. They’ve positioned themselves in the middle of mediocrity and will probably be eliminated from the playoffs in Milwaukee, with bandwagon Heat-bros [...]
Minnesota Timberwolves 107 FinalRecap | Box Score 98 Milwaukee Bucks Ersan Ilyasova, SF 37 MIN | 12-21 FG | 2-2 FT | 12 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 2 BLK | 3 TO | 29 PTS | -6The only thing that kept the game competitive early was Ilyasova’s offensive rebounding. He was [...]
Oklahoma City Thunder 109 Final Recap | Box Score 99 Milwaukee Bucks Marquis Daniels, SF 32 MIN | 4-12 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 12 PTS | -4 Kevin Durant is not Kobe Bryant. Because he’s better. He’s bigger, faster [...]
After last night’s win against the Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks are now two games behind the Celtics for the seventh-seed. Both teams have ten games left, with the Bucks playing six playoff teams and the Celtics playing five. Basically, it will be difficult but not impossible. So, uh, let’s be optimistic. Go team! Woot! Seventh [...]
Los Angeles Lakers 103 Final Recap | Box Score 113 Milwaukee Bucks Marquis Daniels, SF 30 MIN | 7-12 FG | 1-1 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 16 PTS | +14Without question, this was his finest game of the season. Defensively, he hounded [...]
Grades? Grades were no problem on Wednesday night. The Milwaukee Bucks made the grading process I go through incredibly easy. That was about the only thing the Bucks were successful at on Wednesday. Fs all around! The defense of Milwaukee’s guards? Absent. Help from Bucks bigs? Non-existent. Shooting? Stayed in Milwaukee. Energy? Spent searching for [...]
A college advisor of mine once told me that, when making a big change in life, there were always two things to consider. The first was to think of where this decision would leave me one year from that current moment. What would be different and how would that affect me? The other angle [...]
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 [...]
