It’s hard to even be concerned about a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road. That talent disparity is too great and the road troubles too significant for the current version of the Milwaukee Bucks. But it isn’t hard to be concerned about another knee injury to Michael Redd. Either on his jump [...]
Recap/Box Score (Note: Sorry about the lack of a game preview and slow to arrive recap of the Kings game. It’s the holidays, friends are in town, things are going on, I’ll try to see to it that this doesn’t happen again. The Kings game was the first game I was unable to make it [...]
Recap/Box Score The hundreds aren’t the way to go for the Bucks. The Bucks have allowed their opponent to score 100+ points on eight occasions this year. The Bucks are 2-6 in those games. They have held their opponent under 100 points nine times. The Bucks are 7-2 int hose games. Sometimes, it’s just that [...]
It’s a part of his game that will prove crucial down the road, but think about it for a second. If you had Jennings talent, would you ever do anything but drive by people and shoot three’s when you were in high school? Who could stop him from doing either? Sure, he probably had opportunities to work on the floater and in-between game in Europe, but it was hardly any more necessary there than it was in high school. He wasn’t getting minutes anyway and who knew what the NBA would hold. I’m confident he’ll straighten this thing out by the end of the year or by the start of next.

The way things have gone this year it seems like we’re going to have to stop expecting anything to have an effect on Brandon Jennings. He’ll struggle out of the gate adjusting to the NBA. Nope. Michael Redd is out, Jennings won’t be able to take on much more of an offensive role, will he? [...]
The Warriors have a good collection of talent, but nothing roping these guys together. The chemistry is terrible and it starts from the top down. Another team from the West on a long trip and another bad team. This has trap game written all over it with the Mavericks coming in Monday, but the Bucks shouldn’t be a team looking past anyone. Thus far I have no reason to believe they will.
This is a match-up not so dissimilar from opening night for the Bucks. The Bulls are going to look to transition and score easy baskets, as they have lots of athleticism and don’t have a lot of great half court players. If they are forcing turnovers it could be a very long night for the Bucks, who don’t have Redd to help them play catchup. Jennings shined in his first road game in Philly, but will be dealing with a much tougher point guard tonight.
But if the Bucks are looking for any additional fire power now that they’ve lost someone they expected to be their leading scorer coming into the year, this might be Jodie Meeks big break.
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 [...]
