I was at a wedding this past weekend. Honestly, it may have been the most fun I’ve had in my entire life. When one of your close friends gets married and you have a pretty tight group of friends, things can really work out well. It’s not a given though. A few things have to [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks are now prepared for a potential Andrew Bogut injury. Better late than never, I suppose. The Journal-Sentinel is reporting that Joel Przybilla has agreed to a one-year contract with the Bucks. The 32-year-old center returns to the team that traded for him on draft night in 2000. Przybilla played in 27 games [...]
From Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld: Stephen Jackson has been suspended one game for verbal abuse of an official and failure to leave the court. Incident occurred against CHI. And things remain turbulent. This is the second game this season Jackson will miss for disciplinary reasons. He missed the team bus to shootaround in New York [...]
We know Andrew Bogut is going to be out (UPDATE: We now know it will be 8-to-12 weeks too. Damn). His ankle won’t unfracture quickly. Whether or not this torpedoes Milwaukee’s already fragile season largely depends on who replaces the majority of Bogut’s 30 minutes each night. The early candidate is Drew Gooden. He will likely get the [...]
They’re back! After a lockout-sized hiatus, Buck Hits have returned to bring you the very best of the Bucks from around the web. Much to discuss, so without further adieu… Recap 12/27/11 Bucks v. Wolves Box Score Analysis: JSOnline, Brewhoop, We’re Bucked Power Rankings Marc Stein: 17 NBA.com: 17 Charles Gardner: 16
A reliable backup center would be nice for the Milwaukee Bucks. Not nice like Brandon Jennings finishing at the rim somewhere near 50 percent nice or another 3-point shooter who converts at more than 37 percent nice, but it’d still be a pretty chill thing for the Bucks to get. It’s consensus. Another consensus: the [...]

Teams usually end up going into overtime somewhere between five and ten times a season (the Bucks [...]

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 [...]
