Miami Heat 97 Final Recap | Box Score 105 Milwaukee Bucks Carlos Delfino, SF 20 MIN | 3-6 FG | 2-2 FT | 1 REB | 2 AST | 11 PTS | +10 Delfino played just two minutes and didn’t catch the brunt of Lebron’s first quarter explosion. I can’t say I saw Stephen Jackson [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 91 Final Recap | Box Score 82 Miami Heat Shaun Livingston, PG 39 MIN | 3-7 FG | 4-4 FT | 5 REB | 5 AST | 10 PTS | +11 One of Livingston’s biggest assets is his size, not only because it lets him post up smaller players on offense, but because [...]
Last summer, when we all had dreams, some would call them delusions now, of the Bucks beating the odds, competing hard every night and evolving into a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference, those dreams had a lot to do with balance. No, the Bucks wouldn’t have three superstars like the Heat. [...]
Enemy: The Heat Index Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Carlos Arroyo Arroyo struggled mightily when these teams met earlier this week, hitting just one of seven shots. That probably will have no bearing on how he’ll preform this evening, but hopefully it doesn’t mean the law of averages catches up with him and allows him [...]
Box Score/Recap/Enemy It took a while, but eventually, the Miami Heat were the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks were the Milwaukee Bucks. That much was reflected in the shooting percentages, and the final score, and the fast break points and the final stats at the rim. It was a bizarre twist on how the [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Role players playing well and good guard play. Monday night, in an 88-78 win for the visiting team, the Heat had it and the Bucks didn’t. Obviously the Heat can count on Lebron James and Dwyane Wade. They certainly got things started with a bang, alternating high flying dunks and tap ins early [...]
Enemy: The Heat Index Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Carlos Arroyo Over his past five games, Jennings is averaging 25 points, 5.4 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Not too shabby a line. Best of all is his 43.7% from the field over that stretch. Over the course of his young career, shooting [...]
Winning organizations don’t last in the NBA. Professional sports leagues are copycat clubs, and the NBA is no different. The Bucks dove into Detroit’s annual conference champion organization to get general manager John Hammond. Successful organizations lose key members all of the time, it’s the price they pay for their success. So perhaps Milwaukee should [...]
Recap/Box Score Another sign that the Bucks are moving in the right direction as the playoffs are nearing was Scott Skiles’ post game reaction to a question about whether or not he was happy with the team’s effort in a Wednesday night loss to Cleveland. “It’s not that I don’t care about that right now, [...]
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 [...]
