It’s not so simple. The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t a bad team. They just have some bad team habits. Like the habit of throwing away everything good about their offense once things start to go downhill. And things go downhill at some point in every game. The NBA is a game of runs, that’s what people [...]
“He was aggressive, but he was looking for his teammates,” Jim Boylan said of Brandon Jennings after the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns in his debut as coach. Jennings ended up with 29 points and nine assists. “He was just playing the game, which is great for him. Just go out there and play [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks have largely been a pretty good defensive team this season. And good defense is a practice in patience and boredom, more or less. That’s probably what makes it so elusive. Being in the right places, rotating crisply and pushing ball handlers to places where they have fewer options – not many people [...]

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
