Most mornings I wake up and look to my laptop. It’s often out of battery, drained from a night of Netflix. When I find the motivation, I plug it back in and head to ESPN.com. Shortly after I begin my search for the latest news on our beloved Milwaukee Bucks. That search never lasts very [...]
We’ve been having something of a meeting of the minds over the past week here at Bucksketball.com regarding where the Milwaukee Bucks decision makers may want to direct their attention this coming off-season. We’ll get the discussion rolling in part one and close it out in part two. – JS Jeremy What needs addressing this [...]
Part two, The Negatives, of Josh Hilgendorf’s Bucksketball debut breaking down Bucks forwards this past season. Now that I am done squinting my eyes trying to find something positive about the Bucks forward play this season, I can relax a little bit and let the players do most of the work for me. This is [...]
The boundless hours of rehab that have finally landed Michael Redd back in Milwaukee probably aren’t comparable to the many minutes Redd spent studying how to be a professional with Ray Allen back in the early 2000s, but the symmetry is worth noting. From start to finish, Redd’s story as a member of the Bucks, [...]
In a move foreshadowed by owner Herb Kohl ever so slightly after the Bucks preview luncheon, the Milwaukee Bucks have extended the contracts of both General Manager John Hammond and Coach Scott Skiles. From the Bucks: The Milwaukee Bucks have exercised the option on the contract of General Manager John Hammond, and extended the contract [...]
Brian Matzat is a season ticket holder, therefore he was lucky enough to attend the Bucks preview luncheon on Monday. Here’s his recap. I had the privilege of going to the Bucks Preview Luncheon. It was my original intention to recap, in detail, every minute of the event. I instead elected to take in the [...]
So how does a team build on a surprise 46 win season? How about by blowing things up and starting over. Okay, so it wasn’t that drastic for the Milwaukee Bucks. They retained most of their core pieces from last season. Andrew Bogut is still in the middle (and don’t worry, everyone is saying positive [...]
Since taking over as Milwaukee Bucks general manager on April 11, 2008, John Hammond has shown he’s not afraid to make a deal. I’d go as far as to say he’s probably talking about a trade right now. He’s made more trades in his tenure than I have in the last 10 dynasties I’ve done [...]
Without ever having been in one, it’s difficult for me to know just how NBA teams’ war room’s operate. I do have my ideas though. I imagine piles of data everywhere, organized by player, with a dry erase board full of player’s names (probably on magnets) and ranked by position, overall and where they will [...]
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 [...]
