Not every trade requires celebration or damnation. Some only require the nod of a head and an acknowledgement that the guys in charge are seeing the obvious things. Last year, the Milwaukee Bucks badly needed a center. Their first move this summer? Trade some role players for a probable starter at center. Well done. That’s [...]
We’ve all been had. The Milwaukee Bucks were actively talking trade all along! While it isn’t the roster shakeup we’ve seen the team make in each of the past two seasons, the Bucks have unloaded some fringe rotation players to land a guy who could be at least part of a solution at that pesky [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 85 Final Recap | Box Score 94 Orlando Magic Jon Leuer, F 7 MIN | 0-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -3 The Jon Leuer experience came to a grinding halt because of foul trouble. What a sad day for Wisconsin. A sad day [...]
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 [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks may be Wisconsin’s pro basketball team, but it is far from being the premiere basketball program within the state. That honor would go to the Wisconsin Badgers men’s team (*ducks away from Marquette fans*). And the Bucks just drafted its favorite son, Jon Leuer. With the 40th pick of the draft, the [...]
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 [...]
(We’re back. After a week long hiatus, Bucksketball will be back in full effect this week, starting with a rundown of Milwaukee’s center production this season. We’ll look ahead this week and see where the Bucks need to patch up some holes in a roster full of them this off-season later in the week. -JS) [...]
Goin’ alphabetical this season. First half today, second half tomorrow. Enjoy. Earl Barron Once finished a play Coming out of timeout. Sad. Clear role, in swamp O. He was only in Milwaukee briefly, playing in seven March games, but he did well what he does. He crashed the offensive glass and made mid-range jumpers. He [...]
Now you can’t say this season has no highlight. My favorite? The bounce from the upper reaches of the 200 level. Are you kidding me? Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball.com. Follow him on Twitter. Become a fan on Facebook (right sidebar).
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 [...]
