Enemy: Truth About It .net Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. John Wall The dynamic Wall has been all but forgotten about as a rookie of the year candidate with Blake Griffin putting up a rookie season for the ages and his own injury problems, but he’s still a sight to see. Wall’s creativity was on [...]
Enemy: Red94.net Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Kyle Lowry Lowry is a very good defender, specifically, he’s one of the best guards in the league when it comes to taking charges. He’s not altogether very impressive anywhere else on the court, though he can hit open threes when given a look. Pretty much a run [...]
Lou Williams clutch shot didn’t bother me. The mere fact that he was in position to take and make the shot? Now that was a problem. In the last minute of a close game in the NBA, virtually anything can happen. Just a week ago we saw Earl Boykins dribble around for an entire possession [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Sometimes it’s just a quarter, sometimes a half, sometimes three quarters, but rarely this season have the Bucks been able to put together 48 minutes of their best basketball against good teams. Wednesday night would be no different. After taking a 51-43 lead into halftime, they made just 31% of their shots in [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy The one Saturday night that the Bucks aren’t in Milwaukee and they go and do this. Figures. But that was the only thing to complain about after Milwaukee’s 115-92 destruction of the New Jersey Nets Saturday evening. Playing without Andrew Bogut (viral infection), Milwaukee displayed the same shooting ability they did in the [...]
As much as I’d like to think Corey Maggette turned some kind of corner against the Magic and will earn steady playing time the rest of the season in which he’s productive, I remain skeptical. In an Insider piece for ESPN.com today, John Hollinger lists Maggette as a member of his All-Disappointment team — with [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy In Orlando Wednesday night, Milwaukee made a run in the fourth quarter to make things look respectable, but trailed by double digits virtually the entire game. The culprit? A shooting percentage that hovered under 33% again for the majority of the evening. It was the same story that’s played out so many times [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Finally, the injury bug bit an opponent of the Bucks, and not just the Bucks. A Dallas team already without Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion saw Caron Butler go down in the first quarter and was unable to ever get over the hump against a competitive Bucks group that was finally making a [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy When a team is attempting to figure out how they’ll be able to manage without Earl Boykins, obviously that’s a sign of a rough night ahead. But Milwaukee battled. That’s more that could have been said about Monday night’s defeat. With no Boykins, or Brandon Jennings or Drew Gooden or Carlos Delfino, the [...]
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 [...]
