The Milwaukee Bucks looked like a team that was having a good camp on Tuesday night. They looked like a team that had spent some time together before October 1, which wasn’t the case for the last three Bucks pre-season openers. The Cavs looked like a team full of young guys. And by young guys, [...]
I’m changing the Bucksketball game previews format. Spicing things up, making things pop and moving to a format with a free-form beginning that’ll address an issue of the game. That’ll be paired up with regular categories to keep things familiar. It’s still preseason, so the format is a work in process and I’d love if [...]
CBA rules. Traded player waived by his new team can’t return back to his original team for a full year. This is all I have to say on the matter. I only posted because I’ve dealt with the question 94238750923457 times since Leuer was waived. Ok, that’s a lie, I’ve dealt with it twice. But [...]
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 [...]
According to Charles F. Gardner, Scott Skiles has announced that Drew Gooden will miss Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic and Luc Mbah a Moute will come off the bench. Jon Leuer will be starting aside Ersan Ilyasova. Against Dwight Howard. Uh oh. I’ve been the first to point out the various on court antics [...]
New Orleans Hornets 92 Final Recap | Box Score 89 Milwaukee Bucks Drew Gooden, PF 26 MIN | 5-13 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 11 PTS | -5 Sitting with a ice on his sprained wrist, on both of his knees and in the bucket containing his soaking feet, [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 80 Final Recap | Box Score 88 Detroit Pistons Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, SF 24 MIN | 3-6 FG | 1-2 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 7 PTS | -15 Gery Woelfel reported that Moute still has knee problems. It’s hurting how he establishes leverage in the post. It [...]
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 [...]
