In which I mistakenly refer to us as embarking on episode number eight. We also talk about the infamous Larry Sanders/Monta Ellis dispute, potential Bucks coaching candidates and off-season priorities. Oh and Producer Jeramey obliterates me in the Basketball-Reference Game once again. I hate that game and the day I came up with it.
Lonely Bucks fan watches game in Miami, becomes a Witness. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz) I’m not sure what caused it, but I felt some sort of feeling before Sunday’s playoff opener for the Milwaukee Bucks. As I waited what felt like forever for the day games to wrap up and Milwaukee to take the court Sunday [...]
For a second, it seemed like the Milwaukee Bucks were going to pull off an improbable home upset of the still definitely playing for something Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The Bucks had trailed most of the game, but never fell completely out of reach of a dangerous Denver team. But the lead changed hands [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 104 Final Recap | Box Score 109 Atlanta Hawks John Henson, PF 26 MIN | 3-8 FG | 2-4 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 3 STL | 2 BLK | 3 TO | 8 PTS | -1Plenty of learning experiences in this one for Henson. 1. On a pick and [...]
I’ve been saying the whole time, it’s the wins that are the problem, not the losses. Quite a bit of Milwaukee Bucks fan outrage has bubbled to the surface since the devastating finish and flourish of Tobias Harris Wednesday night in Orlando and it’s difficult not to say that it’s justifiable. But it doesn’t seem worthwhile to [...]
I sat in the best seats I’d ever had in my entire life for a Milwaukee Bucks game on Saturday night. Center court, on the court. The refs couldn’t head to their private replay screen to review a play without getting in my face. I heard Amir Johnson complain about the chicken wings he’d eaten [...]
The Bucks make me sad. The seventh seed in the East is there for them to take but they seem incapable of playing with the consistency or ability needed for them to obtain it. They’ve positioned themselves in the middle of mediocrity and will probably be eliminated from the playoffs in Milwaukee, with bandwagon Heat-bros [...]
Minnesota Timberwolves 107 FinalRecap | Box Score 98 Milwaukee Bucks Ersan Ilyasova, SF 37 MIN | 12-21 FG | 2-2 FT | 12 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 2 BLK | 3 TO | 29 PTS | -6The only thing that kept the game competitive early was Ilyasova’s offensive rebounding. He was [...]

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 [...]
