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 [...]
According to Charles F. Gardner, Scott Skiles has announced that Drew Gooden will miss Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic and Luc Mbah a Moute will come off the bench. Jon Leuer will be starting aside Ersan Ilyasova. Against Dwight Howard. Uh oh. I’ve been the first to point out the various on court antics [...]
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. It was the same story that’s played out so many times [...]
Enemy: MagicBasketball.net Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Jameer Nelson Nelson is a good matchup for Dooling. He’s small and not overwhelmingly fast, so Dooling should be able to put lots of pressure on him using his length advantage. Nelson knows this offense very well though and always keeps spacing on the court. He’s a very [...]
One thing was very clear by the end of Tuesday night’s Bucks game in Orlando: Orlando is very good, much better than Milwaukee. Breaking news, I know, but I just wanted to get that out there so we were all on the same page, just in case by some chance we weren’t. The Magic are [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
