For a second, it seemed like the Milwaukee Bucks were going to pull off an improbable home upset of the still definitely playing for something Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The Bucks had trailed most of the game, but never fell completely out of reach of a dangerous Denver team. But the lead changed hands [...]
Off makes, off misses. The Denver Nuggets stayed on the go Tuesday. And when they didn’t, they hit threes. Sigh. It’s one thing when a team is caught off guard and unprepared. Sometimes reserve players have huge games or rookies that haven’t been around the league yet show off a part of their game that [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy For the Bucks to score consistently and be a good offensive team in general, someone different has to step up every game. That was the line on the Bucks earlier this season. Since then, things have kind of went awry and rather than having someone step up every night, more often than not, [...]
Recap/Box Score After intensity lagged considerably against the Clippers and Kings, one could only assume things had to get better against the Nuggets for the Bucks Saturday. Unfortunately, they were coming off a double overtime game Friday night, got to their hotel around four in the morning Milwaukee time and were facing a team with [...]
Was this a big win? I’d say. The Bucks hadn’t beaten anyone significant heading into Wednesday night’s win and now have a bit of a feather for their cap. Scott Skiles talked about dominating at home before last Saturday’s game against New York and to do that, it’s important to blow out the bad teams and beat the good teams. This is a step in the right direction.
It all starts with Anthony. ‘Melo dropped 33 on the Bucks in their meeting last February and got to the free throw line 16 times. That’s been a problem for the Bucks again this year and should be a focus for the Nuggets. The Bucks showed they do have some scoring punch against the Knicks and they’ll need all of it against a not-so-great defensively Nuggets team to keep up.
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 [...]
