Box Score/Recap Remember those old electric football games where the pieces moved about aimlessly as you hoped (At least I assumed you were hoping. I’m too young to have ever had the pleasure) your team ended up somehow scoring some points? That was the Bucks offense in quarter one Tuesday. The Bucks moved aimlessly about, [...]

Recap/Box Score Had I started writing this immediately after the Bucks game, things would not have been pretty. The number of scathing criticisms going through my head had to have been up over 50. We just hadn’t seen an effort like that out of this year’s Bucks team to date, so I had a lot [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 9-8 (Probable) Inactives: Michael Redd, Joe Alexander and Francisco Elson at Detroit Pistons (Jon Kuester) 6-12 (Probable) Inactives: Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton Date: 12/4/09 Time: 7:00 (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin Match-ups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Chucky Atkins (!?)

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.
What better way to get the bad taste of an opening night loss out of the collective mouths of Milwaukee Bucks fans than the home opener on the following night. I’m not going to pick the Bucks every game, but I feel better about this one than I did about the Sixers game. With Rip Hamilton out, the Pistons bench is a bit depleted of perimeter scoring. If the Bucks can knock down their shots and Jennings can give the Bucks something close to what he did Friday, they’ll have a shot.
Before the game, Scott Skiles was asked if he’d coach Friday as if it were a regular season game, he said no and then really proved that point by going with some lineups throughout the game that will (hopefully) never be a consideration for the rest of the season. In the first half there was a stretch with:
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 [...]
