Isn’t it funny how a matter of moments can alter the perception of one shot? Along with many others that joined me on Wednesday evening’s Daily Dime Live, I thought Josh Smith had finished off the Bucks with just over four minutes to go Wednesday night. Smith faded a little bit from the top of [...]
Check out the reaction by the Bucks bench. Priceless. If it hadn’t been done before, and it’s probably foolish that it wasn’t, the word “can’t” was officially removed from the dictionary on the Milwaukee Bucks 2009-10 season. It’s uses were once prevalent. Milwaukee can’t get to the line. They can’t score inside without Andrew Bogut. [...]
So he’s still got it. Good to know. Now if everyone else on the Bucks can get it together, this might be a very different series than the masses (I’m raising my hand especially high on this) expected. It’s fitting that Brandon Jennings donned the cape in game one of the Bucks playoff series. After all, [...]
Hawk watching has not been a big part of my life this basketball season. Obviously my hands are a little bit tied with the Bucks playing as frequently as they are. Fortunately, the TrueHoop Network has got me covered. The Atlanta Hawks have a terrific blogger by the name of Bret Lagree. He and I [...]
My gut instinct tells me it’s the Hawks. Joe Johnson is a star, right? Stars win games late, that’s just how the NBA goes. That’s what I’ve long assumed, that’s what I feel like I’ve witnessed time and time again. Johnson must be the best late game player either team has, simply because he’s the [...]
“Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity.” – Eminem There are reasons inside this one big reason why the Bucks had all kinds of problems with the Hawks Monday night, but we all know there is one reason that looms large: Andrew Bogut in street clothes. The trickledown effects of Bogut being out appeared [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 45-35 vs. Atlanta Hawks (Mike Woodson) 51-29 Date: 4/12/2010 Time: 7:00 (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin Matchups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Mike Bibby We’ve seen all of these before. I wouldn’t expect much to change across the 1-3 spots. The Hawks will still probably use more Jamal Crawford than Mike Bibby [...]
Recap/Box Score When Joe Johnson started putting it down in the fourth quarter, four straight buckets from 11-feet and in with none of them being very challenging for him and a different defender failing in each attempt to stop him, it felt like the same story as the last Hawks-Bucks game. Atlanta had a superstar [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 38-30 Vs. Atlanta Hawks (Mike Woodson) 45-24 Date: 3/22/10 Time: 7:00 (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin Matchups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Mike Bibby Two guys heading opposite ways. Bibby was the table setter and clutch leader for the Kings in their heyday and helped get the Hawks over the hump when [...]
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 [...]
