Without Andrew Bogut… …it’s an understatement to say the Bucks aren’t the same. Offensively, there was very little room for shooters to operate and the guards had no release valve when they drew extra defenders on penetration. …defensively, Milwaukee was equally disastrous. If I had a dollar for every time a Bucks defender flew by [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 39-31 Vs. Miami Heat (Erik Spoelstra) 38-34 Date: 3/26/2010 Time: 7:30 (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin and NBA TV Matchups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Carlos Arroyo The shipping out of Rafer Alston initially seemed like a questionable move, given that he helped Orlando so tremendously last season after Jameer Nelson went [...]
Recap/Box Score Most Bucks fans are unabashed Brandon Jennings apologists. They see the missed shots, they see the low field goal percentage at the rim and they see occasionally questionable shot selection and it doesn’t bother them. Aside from having someone to finally hitch the bandwagon to after years of suffering, there is a valid [...]
Recap/Box Score In front of what appeared to be only close friends and relatives of both teams, it was very clear that the Miami Heat can be boiled down to two parts: Dwyane Wade and a bunch of guys. Just as clear Monday night was that the Bucks continue their recent uptick in play and [...]
6-20 for 21 points. That was Dwyane Wade’s final shooting line Saturday night and that was probably everything the Bucks could have asked for. That sort of night out of a player like Wade is part good defense and part good luck, but probably more good defense than we realize. I took the time to [...]
Recap/Box Score Dear Dwyane Wade, Flash, you truly are the gift that keeps on giving. You’re generosity when it comes to the city where it is windy rather than the Windy City seems to know no bounds. Aside from delivering what will probably be Marquette’s only Final Four in the first quarter of this century, [...]
Ah, Dwyane Wade’s return to Milwaukee. The time that Marquette only fans become NBA fans for the day and venture down the the Bradley Center for their one Bucks game of the year. Coincidentally (or not) it’s also when I hope the Bucks play their best game of the season and convert a fan here [...]
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 [...]
