Milwaukee Bucks 100 Final Recap | Box Score 103 Sacramento Kings Stephen Jackson, SG 39 MIN | 4-10 FG | 3-3 FT | 5 REB | 4 AST | 13 PTS | -9 Jackson hit a jumper in the fourth, then yelled something like, “Give me the ball!” Except it was a lot more vulgar [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 86 Final Recap | Box Score 91 Denver Nuggets Stephen Jackson, SG 7-18 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 4 AST | 17 PTS | -4 There’s a clear dichotomy building in the Bucks offense. The good angel, Mike Dunleavy (out sick), promotes passing and moving without the ball. The devil, [...]
Rookies often earn minutes under Scott Skiles. If you see someone write otherwise, hear someone say otherwise or develop telepathy and are around someone who is thinking otherwise, you have my permission to correct them. Brandon Jennings, Luc Mbah a Moute, Ben Gordon, Chris Duhon, Kirk Hinrich, there are plenty of examples of Skiles giving [...]
Finally. No more nostalgia, no more complaining from me, no more legalese. We can finally talk hoops again. As Chuck Mangione might say, “it feels so good.” We’re kicking off with Bucksketball’s first installment of the TrueHoop Network’s Three-On-Three series. It’s like those Five-On-Fives you see back at the mothership, but shorter and longer all [...]
Nestled close to the radio in the 50 degree temperature of a Door County evening, I pumped my fist instinctively when it was announced the Milwaukee Bucks selected Jon Leuer with the 40th overall pick in the NBA draft. Camping in Fish Creek, Wis. last week with limited access to Wi-Fi and inconsistent cell coverage, [...]
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 [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks selected Wisconsin Badger forward Jon Leuer with the 40th selection in the 2011 NBA draft Thursday evening. The 6-foot-11, 228 pound Leuer worked out with first round pick Tobias Harris on Tuesday. Leuer led the Badgers with 18.3 points and 7.2 rebounds during his senior season en route to a First-Team All-Big Ten selection. [...]
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 [...]
