Everything was set up perfectly. This would be the first year since 2004 that the Milwaukee Bucks would have an All-Star. Derrick Rose has been out all season. The Celtics have struggled, the Sixers have struggled and the Cavs have been the Cavs. Opposing point guards are playing on bad teams and in tiebreaker scenarios, [...]

Cleveland Cavaliers 102 FinalRecap | Box Score 105 Milwaukee Bucks Ersan Ilyasova, SF 27 MIN | 1-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 3 PTS | -7Pretty pedestrian effort out of everyone’s favorite hard working power forward. Ilysova was getting a lot of shots that he usually gets, he just [...]
The spotlights were illuminating the night’s air, indicating that the BMO Harris Bradley Center was the place to be Saturday night. I arrived early, around 6:15 PM. Coach Scott Skiles addresses the media around an hour before the game, so I had to give myself time. As I walked in I passed an array of [...]
In the years since the Bucks had last been a legitimate championship contender way back in 2001, the Central Division has been dominated by three franchises: The mid-early 2000s Pistons, LeBron and the Bronettes and now the resurgent Chicago Bulls. While it is great to see other teams improve over the past decade, it’s also [...]
Monta Ellis got hot on Wednesday evening. Since arriving he’s been a starter for the Milwaukee Bucks, but on Wednesday he was a closer too in Milwaukee’s 107 – 98 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s baseball season. Wasn’t that a terrific way to riff on that? It wasn’t? Okay, let’s move on. Ellis wore [...]

Enemy: Cavs: The Blog Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Ramon Sessions It saddens me that Sessions can’t find a good situation. Year after year he’s shuffled off to worse teams, constantly backing up a point guard without a future. Whenever Sessions has enjoyed the luxury of significant minutes, numbers follow. But the one thorn in [...]
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 [...]
