There hasn’t been a question about what the Milwaukee Bucks needed to do to improve over the past few seasons. Virtually every night, they help opponents to below average shooting percentages and point totals. Stops on stops on stops. More often than not though, Milwaukee found a way to be even worse offensively. Like, almost [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 80 Final Recap | Box Score 88 Detroit Pistons Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, SF 24 MIN | 3-6 FG | 1-2 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 7 PTS | -15 Gery Woelfel reported that Moute still has knee problems. It’s hurting how he establishes leverage in the post. It [...]
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 [...]
Detroit Pistons 82 Final Recap | Box Score 103 Milwaukee Bucks Carlos Delfino, SF 23 MIN | 4-7 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 3 AST | 10 PTS | +5 Carlos Delfino has quietly been the best perimeter defender the Bucks have. Good thing too since Moute needs to play heavy power [...]
The Bucks tag team of Bogut and Mbah a Moute: “Twice the mayhem!” It’s easy to credit Andrew Bogut with the success of the Bucks defense. In the way that we give quarterbacks or point guards credit for wins, we often attribute the success of an NBA team’s defense to its center. He’s the quarterback [...]
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 [...]
The big day is here Badger fans! Leuer is starting. Rejoice! Between him and Greg Stiemsma this is the greatest year for Badgers in the NBA ever. Going into the season, it looked like the Bucks power forward spot was jam-packed and Leuer might not get a chance to shine. But he’s starting tonight against [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 86 Final Recap | Box Score 91 Denver Nuggets Stephen Jackson, SG 7-18 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 4 AST | 17 PTS | -4 There’s a clear dichotomy building in the Bucks offense. The good angel, Mike Dunleavy (out sick), promotes passing and moving without the ball. The devil, [...]
According to Charles F. Gardner, the Milwaukee Bucks will match the Denver Nuggets four year, $19 million offer sheet signed today by forward Luc Mbah a Moute. Mbah a Moute has averaged 6.7 points and 5.6 rebounds in three seasons for the Bucks after being a second round pick out of UCLA in 2009. At [...]
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 [...]
