The NBA locker room is a strange place for reporters. For the sake of this exercise, I’m referring to myself as a reporter. Yes, giggle giggle. We head in there, wait around for a few minutes while dudes shower and then get dressed. Most of us crowd around one or two guys. Two or three [...]
We’ve talked before about the Milwaukee Bucks and the glut of four and fives that developed this off-season. It was a popular conversation after Samuel Dalembert arrived via trade, after John Henson was drafted and most of all after Ersan Ilyasova resigned. By the time the off-season ended Sunday, Milwaukee was up to seven guys [...]
The media has cleared out, the balls are ready on the rack and the court’s waxed. Camp starts tomorrow. A couple of notes coming out of media day though first: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will miss training camp as he continues to recover from a May surgery on his right patella tendon. He told Charles [...]
Beno Udrih – # 227 Bucks were 14.1 Pts per 48 mins better with Udrih on the floor than they were with him off the floor. RT @nbaonespn #NBArank 227: Beno Udrih — Ryan Feldman (@TheRyanFeldman) August 30, 2012
As players around the league begin to report to their respective teams to start training for the 2012-13 NBA season, many teams should feel as if they have assembled the team that would give them the best shot at success this year. This year, the Milwaukee Bucks were set on solidifying its low post presence. [...]

Will I ever stop referring to Bucks rookie guard Doron Lamb as Jeremy Lamb? Will callers continue to pepper voicemails with “Player X s’s d’s” [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks are now prepared for a potential Andrew Bogut injury. Better late than never, I suppose. The Journal-Sentinel is reporting that Joel Przybilla has agreed to a one-year contract with the Bucks. The 32-year-old center returns to the team that traded for him on draft night in 2000. Przybilla played in 27 games [...]
Shirley, you’ve noticed the additional writers brought onto the Bucksketball staff lately … haven’t you? ANSWER ME SHIRLEY! Airplane. Nailed it. Ahem. We thought it would be fun to kick around a couple of late July questions to get kind of a pre-post free agency analysis of where things stand for the Bucks right now. [...]
(I assure you, it’s not all hellfire and brimstone around these parts. And to prove it, new Bucksketball addition Jon Hartzell takes an optimistic look at how Ersan Ilyasova’s probable re-signing is quite all right. There’s room for a divergence of opinion, even if I make it seem as though there isn’t. – JS) 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 [...]
