This is the last Buck Hits post of 2012. What fun we’ve had! Currently, the Milwaukee Bucks are 15-12. They’re fifth in the Eastern Conference and a half game behind the Indiana Pacers for first place in the Central Division. Beno Udrih is healthy again and Tobias Harris is probable for tonight’s game against the Miami Heat. In the [...]

Bucks center Joel Przybilla will miss Tuesday’s home match-up against the Indiana Pacers after hitting a referee in the leg with the ball. It happened late in the fourth quarter of Milwaukee’s 85-111 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Saturday. Watch the incident. According to Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, Przybilla will [...]
I haven’t been this excited about the Milwaukee Bucks in awhile and it’s fun. The team looks good. The division looks weak. Brandon Jennings looks like an all-star. Mike Dunleavy looks like the greatest player of all-time. Larry Sanders discovered pace. Drew Gooden hasn’t played a minute all year. And most importantly, the team looks [...]

Danny Granger sure was important. A year removed from being the three-seed in the East, the Indiana Pacers (3-5) are struggling without their All-Star forward who will be out the next three months due to Patellar tendonitis in his left knee. And it’s not like the Pacers are struggling against good teams, either. Their three [...]
When the Milwaukee Bucks grow up, there’s little doubt they’d love to be the Indiana Pacers. At least that’s the ideal scenario, given the way things have been heading over the past few years. After the Malice at the Palace, the Pacers tore down from the top and slowly started to rebuild. But they didn’t [...]
In the years since the Bucks had last been a legitimate championship contender way back in 2001, the Central Division has been dominated by three franchises: The mid-early 2000s Pistons, LeBron and the Bronettes and now the resurgent Chicago Bulls. While it is great to see other teams improve over the past decade, it’s also [...]
It seems like conventional wisdom would be that you can learn a lot about a group when there’s some tension introduced to their norm. If that’s the case, we learned some things about the Milwaukee Bucks. A. They probably aren’t the most unified group in the world. B. Their coach knows when someone is being [...]
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 [...]
