I’ve had a weird problem when dishing out grades to Milwaukee Bucks players after games recently. Over and over, guys are tossing out some pretty solid lines. For a guy like Brandon Jennings, outside of his last two games, he’s been shooting better than 40% regularly and handing out more than 10 assists very often. [...]
These might be the consumate clips that define both Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick defensively. Both have their flaws, but their flaws are very different. Ultimately, regardless of difference, they were both exposed on a number of occasions in Milwaukee’s 103-102 loss Saturday night to the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks finished the game 14-of-28 from [...]
“We’ve got to turn it right from the very beginning. We’re not Oklahoma City or Miami or someone like that. We’ve got to play hard for 48 minutes. I played guys a lot of minutes tonight but I just needed a group out there that was playing with some energy. I need more guys out [...]
I insert this video, not because I’m laughing like the Bucks have some master plan, but because I’m going insane, little by little, as each new report comes out and the Bucks get closer and closer to either being the same team altogether or a team that’s slightly different but even further from the one [...]
I don’t even know what to believe and what not to believe anymore. Let’s just assume everything is the absolute truth and push ourselves to the brink of insanity and freak out about every report we hear. Does that sound good? Great. Today’s report: Josh Smith would like to play with Monta Ellis and Brandon [...]
Rumors are flying fast and furious. Experts are confirming that the Milwaukee Bucks have been very active in trade discussions. Bloggers have been analyzing and proposing all kinds of trades and even Sheboygan citizens are coming up with sure-fire proposals to save the franchise. But most of the discussion has been based around just two [...]
I hate trade rumors. But you love them and I love you, so I’ll give you what you want. From the mighty Adrian Wojnarowski over at Yahoo! via his Twitter feed, the Milwaukee Bucks are apparently at least rumored to be in the mix for Josh Smith: Still many involved for Atlanta’s Josh Smith, including [...]
Enemy: Hoopinion Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Kirk Hinrich Jennings has taken some positive steps forward in March after a brutal February in which he was returning from foot surgery. He’s been better from the field overall and has seen his three-point shooting trend upwards over the past few games. If he can make modest [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy If you only have been watching Bucks games this season, you’re certainly aware of the three-point shot, but you may not have known how quickly it can turn a game around. Now you know. The simple way to explain Milwaukee’s improbable comeback from down 11 points to begin the fourth quarter is like [...]
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 [...]
