(UPDATE: Easy baskets were hard to come by in last night’s Bucks-Bulls game, so Sebastian Pruiti of NBA Playbook takes a look at the play that swung the game in the Bucks favor. A Brandon Jennings to Ersan Ilyasova fastbreak basket.) It’s a celebration. Take it away Kanye (more accurately, some kid lip-syncing Kanye). Now [...]
So what lineups are the Bucks going to use now with Andrew Bogut out of commission? Here’s a few of the lineups the Bucks have trotted out most frequently without Bogut this season. (A thanks to BasketballValue.com for the numbers, what a great site.) A few notes: Defensively, a Kurt Thomas and Ersan Ilyasova front [...]
Without Andrew Bogut… …it’s an understatement to say the Bucks aren’t the same. Offensively, there was very little room for shooters to operate and the guards had no release valve when they drew extra defenders on penetration. …defensively, Milwaukee was equally disastrous. If I had a dollar for every time a Bucks defender flew by [...]
It was easy to forget, considering the madness that was ensuing off the court with regard to the trade deadline, but the Bucks had a game Wednesday. Actually, it’s important to check with sources at this time of the year. So … let me … okay … Yes … yes I’m getting confirmation from numerous [...]

Could the Bucks have found something in this point guard who looks more like a college student than a professional basketball assassin? Maybe. But one thing is for certain … his name is Brandon, not Brad.
For Bucks fans it will soon be impossible to forget.
Don’t…go to Dan Gadzuric for the last shot of the game. Even on a broken play. Just hold the ball.
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 [...]
