Box Score/Recap/Enemy “We’ve been concentrating on trying to get John(Salmons) going, for lack of a better way of phrasing it,” Bucks coach Scott Skiles said last Saturday night. “Trying to get him in tune offensively, things like that. The other night, when John starts one for five or one for six, and then goes out, [...]
If you’re a Bucks fan, it stands to reason that you’re also a Brewers fan. After all, Milwaukee’s pro basketball team ranks a distant third behind its pro baseball team and that pro football team a ways to the north. If you’re a Brewers fan, you probably remember Bill Hall, probably not fondly though. That’s [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Earl Watson, a 20% 3-point shooter on the season, banked in a three at the first half buzzer that had Bucks fans on Twitter wondering why it seemed one team after the next has hit buzzer beating shots against the Bucks this year. Sometimes, it seems like this team is unlucky. But, really, [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Sometimes when Milwaukee has won this season, it hasn’t really felt like a win. I’ll point to a 79-72 victory over the Golden State Warriors at home as a prime example. Milwaukee didn’t play well that night, they just didn’t plays as bad as the Warriors. A win is a win, but that [...]
Chris Douglas-Roberts reportedly suffered a poke in the eye in practice the other day. Upon it first being reported, there was some concern that he would miss Wednesday’s game, but now things are looking far worse than that. As he so often does, Douglas-Roberts took to Twitter with news earlier today. I went thru hell [...]
Now that the pre-season has wrapped up with another loss, 119-118 in overtime to Minnesota, naturally it would seem like the Bucks have taken some steps towards figuring out a lot about who they are and what kind of team they’ll be this season. Eight games should be ample time to figure out an identity [...]
UPDATE: I’ve got the whole video thing going now. So that’s kind of cool. This is just the tip of the iceberg my friends. Here’s the video of the play diagrammed below, so you know what I’m talking about. Every so often I’ll be diagramming a play from a Bucks game that I thought was [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 96 – Washington Wizards 88 Recap / Box Score Day in and day out, I preach on this site not to get too worked up by the pre-season. The Bucks don’t have their first unit together on the court yet, they’re being cautious and are playing players who won’t get a lot of [...]
Andrew Bogut is doubtful and probably won’t play against the Pistons tonight. Carlos Delfino has a toe injury and won’t play against the Pistons tonight. Corey Maggette is still recovering from his ankle surgery and won’t play against the Pistons tonight John Salmons is recovering from his knee sprain and won’t play against the Pistons [...]
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 [...]
