Another game against the Miami Heat, another rough night for Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Milwaukee’s diminutive guards are capable of impressive nights. Nights filled with highlight reel fast breaks, long threes, flashy passes and swaggy celebrations. At their very best, they’re fast, capable of creating turnovers and impressive scorers. At their worst, Jennings and [...]
Another guest appearance from Mitch Vomhof. Follow Mitch on Twitter. – JS It’s hard to dislike Marquis Daniels. He’s the kind of veteran basketball player that you want to have in your locker room, the kind of guy who can help guide and develop young players. Plus he has this sweet van. That being said, [...]
Lonely Bucks fan watches game in Miami, becomes a Witness. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz) I’m not sure what caused it, but I felt some sort of feeling before Sunday’s playoff opener for the Milwaukee Bucks. As I waited what felt like forever for the day games to wrap up and Milwaukee to take the court Sunday [...]
I was talking to someone at work the other day and they talked to me about problem solving, problem spotting and problem acceptance. There are some people who see problems and complain about them without countering with a solution, people who see problems and work to solve them and people who decide some problems may [...]
An off-season spent unable to workout. Absences in both training camp and the early part of the regular season. Turf toe in March. A virus that’s left him hampered. Career low numbers in shooting percentage, free throw percentage, minutes per game, rebounds per game and pretty much everything else. It’s been a tough year for [...]
Miami Heat 107 Final Recap | Box Score 94 Milwaukee Bucks Marquis Daniels, SF 27 MIN | 6-11 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 14 PTS | -7 Hero ball should really be defined as Daniels efforts to stop Lebron James. [...]
If last month’s trip to South Beach taught the Milwaukee Bucks anything, it’s that they can compete. Last time the Bucks played the Miami Heat, they took it to the defending champs but ended up losing 113-106. It was a pretty amazing until the very end where Miami (LeBron James specifically) came back to take [...]
Instead of a preview today, here are a bunch of pictures of the Milwaukee Bucks being terrible at defense. Kemba Walker ran a pick and roll with Brendan Haywood. What I enjoy most about this one is that Brandon Jennings and Samuel Dalembert have opted to guard neither Walker or Haywood and just sit where the PNR occurred. Usually guys [...]
Larry Sanders caught a lot of flak for pulling the “Hold me back! Hold me back!” routine against the Indiana Pacers. It was well-deserved. Sanders started the incident. He’d been playing recklessly before that game. He deserved all the scorn he got. But allow me to posit another premise.
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 [...]
