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 [...]
Enemy: Hoopinion Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Mike Bibby We’ve been over this a time or two. Dooling: defense. Bibby: offense. Fortunately for Milwaukee, Dooling’s a better offensive player than Bibby is a defensive player. Especially lately. Dooling’s connected on 43.2% of his threes this month and 41.6% of his shots overall. Injuries to Brandon [...]
UPDATE: Tonight’s game has been postponed due to weather conditions in Atlanta. It will be made up March 15th. Tomorrow’s Bucks game at home against San Antonio will be played as scheduled. Enemy: Hoopinion Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Mike Bibby Dooling has far more freedom to impact games than Bibby. It seems as though [...]
Isn’t it funny how a matter of moments can alter the perception of one shot? Along with many others that joined me on Wednesday evening’s Daily Dime Live, I thought Josh Smith had finished off the Bucks with just over four minutes to go Wednesday night. Smith faded a little bit from the top of [...]
Check out the reaction by the Bucks bench. Priceless. If it hadn’t been done before, and it’s probably foolish that it wasn’t, the word “can’t” was officially removed from the dictionary on the Milwaukee Bucks 2009-10 season. It’s uses were once prevalent. Milwaukee can’t get to the line. They can’t score inside without Andrew Bogut. [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 1-2 vs. Atlanta Hawks (Mike Woodson) 2-1 Date: 4/26/2010 Time: 7:30 TV: NBA TV & FS Wisconsin Keep Smith Contained Milwaukee and Josh Smith combined to do a great job stopping Josh Smith in game two. As much as I’d love to slather all the credit on Luc Richard Mbah a [...]
I remember walking out of the Bradley Center on March 28th feeling very good about things. Milwaukee had just defeated the Grizzlies, the day was still young after the early game, the temperature was in the 60’s and a possible successful playoff run was on the horizon. Now, less than one month later, clouds draped [...]
Why on Earth is there so much time between games in the playoffs? Is it me, or has the little amount of air that was in this series been let out? Imagine that the Bucks and Hawks had a real competitive, back and forth series. How frustrating would it be to have to wait two [...]
Before the series, I assumed the Bucks would be down two games to zero after the first two in Atlanta. Many targeted game three as the Bucks best opportunity to steal one from the Hawks. Now I’m closer than ever to believing the Bucks will be swept. Feelings of optimism reigned after a hard fought [...]
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 [...]
