Enemy: Clipperblog Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Baron Davis Brandon Jennings is back, but Dooling will likely start for at least one more game. Coach Skiles indicated that a minute limit may be on Jennings for the first few games of his return until they can see how his foot is reacting and make sure [...]
For the Milwaukee Bucks, three straight wins in a season plagued with injuries and inconsistency is cause for celebration. But with a three game Western Conference road trip beginning Monday, there won’t be time for the Bucks to pat themselves on the back too much. There is time though, to figure out just how the [...]
Enemy: Nets Are Scorching Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Devin Harris There’s a lot of positive talk about Brandon Jennings returning to play the Nets Saturday night, but it seems that he’ll be coming off the bench in his first game back from injury. Coach Skiles told Charles F. Gardner he only expected Jennings to [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy If you only have been watching Bucks games this season, you’re certainly aware of the three-point shot, but you may not have known how quickly it can turn a game around. Now you know. The simple way to explain Milwaukee’s improbable comeback from down 11 points to begin the fourth quarter is like [...]
Enemy: Hoopinion Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Mike Bibby We’ve been over this a time or two. Dooling: defense. Bibby: offense. Fortunately for Milwaukee, Dooling’s a better offensive player than Bibby is a defensive player. Especially lately. Dooling’s connected on 43.2% of his threes this month and 41.6% of his shots overall. Injuries to Brandon [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Before Saturday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Bucks coach Scott Skiles discussed how Memphis big man Zach Randolph could alter a game. “He’s one of those rare guys who can do it in different ways,” Skiles said. “He can get the ball in the low post with his back to the basket, he’s [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy If only Ramon Sessions had been bottled up a bit more, Milwaukee really would have had a night to boast about. I guess teams shouldn’t really boast about beating the Cavs though, regardless of how lopsided the affair is. Regardless, Milwaukee had a statistical advantage across the board against Cleveland. More rebounds, more [...]
You know how sometimes you just can’t find something? You’re looking and looking and then people around you are quick to say, “it’s always in the place where you least expect it?” So you go and look, say, under your washing machine, only to find out it isn’t in that place where you would least [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy The roar of the crowd late in the fourth quarter of Milwaukee’s 100-87 win over the Washington Wizards Wednesday night seemed a little out place.

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 [...]
