Offensive rebounding, like most things in basketball is dictated by the logic of kings – I do so because I can! If a player has the means and opportunity to grab an offensive board, as a general rule, he should grab it. But an offensive rebound is only as good as what happens after. Part [...]

Fall behind early, battle back admirably, close the lead to an obtainable amount in the fourth quarter and then turn the ball over and stall offensively at key moments, preventing a seemingly waiting to be had game. Happened again against Orlando, as it has so many times this season.  Milwaukee dropped a tough to watch [...]

Recap/Box Score/Enemy Once upon a time the NBA was a league full of really good centers.  Every few nights a Hall of Fame caliber big man would march into your arena, looking to take apart your team inside.  But that’s not really the case anymore.  It’s a guard dominated league these days.  Typically, when your [...]

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.

The NBA is a funny place.  In almost every way, the Magic are a superior to the Bucks.  Milwaukee had no business ever hanging around with Orlando, but they came out with something extra, hung around with the Magic and made a game of it.  What was it that set the Bucks apart from their [...]
