In honor of Thanksgiving (have a happy and thankful one by the way), a recipe for a typical Milwaukee Bucks game this season. Ingredients 3 quarters miserable offense 1 average offensive quarter 4 quarters stingy defense 15 John Salmons‘ drives into heavy traffic One strong individual offensive performance A very, VERY light sprinkle of fast [...]
Winning organizations don’t last in the NBA. Professional sports leagues are copycat clubs, and the NBA is no different. The Bucks dove into Detroit’s annual conference champion organization to get general manager John Hammond. Successful organizations lose key members all of the time, it’s the price they pay for their success. So perhaps Milwaukee should [...]
Recap/Box Score Another sign that the Bucks are moving in the right direction as the playoffs are nearing was Scott Skiles’ post game reaction to a question about whether or not he was happy with the team’s effort in a Wednesday night loss to Cleveland. “It’s not that I don’t care about that right now, [...]

Recap/Box Score Fortunately, the NBA doesn’t decide standings with a poll that measures the strength of each win. No, in the NBA, every win, regardless of who it’s over, the margin of victory or the location of the game, counts just the same. So if anyone tells you that the Bucks wins over teams missing [...]
I guess this is the life of a jump-shooting team that plays better than average defense. If you’re looking for someone that can hang around against the best teams, the Bucks are the squad for you. If you’re looking for someone that can actually beat those teams? Well you might want to keep looking, because [...]

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 [...]
