UPDATE: Charles F. Gardner is reporting Dooling and a second round pick will be heading to Boston for a trade exception. Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld adds on to an earlier report from Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times, tweeting that Milwaukee Bucks backup point guard Keyon Dooling will be heading to the Boston Celtics for [...]
Part One of Ian Segovia’s first post here at Bucksketball was posted earlier today. It addressed the positive aspects of Bucks guards this season. Now, for part two. Negatives Slamming John Salmons Let’s keep this short because Salmons is going to be mentioned a lot while going through the rest of the negatives. Many people [...]
It is the dawn of a new era at Bucksketball. Today’s post is the very first from one of two new contributors, Ian Segovia. Ian was once one of the finest 12-year-old spellers Wisconsin has ever known, and has turned that innate ability to spell words like “Parallel” into the ability to construct sentences about [...]
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 [...]
Fall behind early, battle back admirably, close the lead to an obtainable amount in the fourth quarter and then turn the ball over and stall offensively at key moments, preventing a seemingly waiting to be had game. Happened again against Orlando, as it has so many times this season. Milwaukee dropped a tough to watch [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy The fourth quarter seems like a logical place to start. After all, the Milwaukee Bucks were right there. They didn’t have to spend the period playing catchup. They didn’t dig themselves a hole, they weren’t in trouble. Coming into the fourth quarter, the Bucks actually held a lead. It wasn’t large, just a [...]
Tweeted this during the Bucks-Clippers game Monday evening: Milwaukee had just come out of a timeout, a full timeout, and ended up with one of the worst shots they’ve attempted all season. Without question the worst one I’ve seen them produce after a timeout. This is a team that ran one of the finest sets [...]
Now we see the numbers. So what do these lineups tell us? We’ll start with the good ones.
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 [...]
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 [...]
