I have a confession. Sometimes when I watch basketball games, I lose sight of the fact that the ten guys on the court are human. That may sound extreme, but it is true. I forget that these gigantic physical specimens worth millions and millions of dollars in the eyes of an individual or a [...]
The Sloan Sports Analytic conference starts at the end of this week, but the research papers the conference is centered around have already been released. The Dwight Effect: A New Ensemble of Interior Defense Analytics for the NBA, by Grantland’s Kirk Goldsberry and Eric Weiss, examines interior defense and prominently features Larry Sanders. The report analyzes [...]
I don’t even know what to believe and what not to believe anymore. Let’s just assume everything is the absolute truth and push ourselves to the brink of insanity and freak out about every report we hear. Does that sound good? Great. Today’s report: Josh Smith would like to play with Monta Ellis and Brandon [...]

Just pretend this guy is saying “them” instead of “him” – it’s fun. The Milwaukee Bucks have played 13 games under new Head Coach Jim Boylan. They’ve won eight and lost five. But he’s much less concerned about wins and losses. He’s concerned with how his team is actually playing. If they’re struggling badly but [...]
Starting tonight the Milwaukee Bucks will wear retro, at the time horrible, now kind of fun, if only for a month, awkward green, half white lettered-half purple lettered, deer that’s probably too big logoed, jerseys. That’s a lot of commas. But special times call for special measures, and these are special times indeed. Number 13, [...]
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

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 [...]
