Only a day ago I was wondering if Brandon Jennings was even an okay shooter. I was concerned we would never again see the flashes of dominance or awe inspiring games that we came to expect last November. Less than 100 games into Jennings career, and here I was worrying that he was washed up. [...]
Recap/Box Score/The Enemy After a pre-season wrought with injury and uncertainty, the Milwaukee Bucks finally had their starting lineup and the majority of their players available to them Wednesday night as the regular season began. Now that an unimpressive 3-5 run through the exhibition season was in the past and the Bucks once again had [...]
UPDATE: I’ve got the whole video thing going now. So that’s kind of cool. This is just the tip of the iceberg my friends. Here’s the video of the play diagrammed below, so you know what I’m talking about. Every so often I’ll be diagramming a play from a Bucks game that I thought was [...]
The body count keeps rising in Milwaukee and the Bucks significant depth is getting an early test. Of course, it’s still pre-season, so if the injuries are going to come, let’s go ahead and get them all out of the way now. Milwaukee was able to beat the Bobcats Saturday night, 86-78, despite playing without [...]
Box Score / Recap First things first: the Bucks beat the Bulls to open the pre-season Tuesday night, 92-83. Good, that’s out of the way. Now we move on. I can’t stress the importance of not blowing things out of proportion after one pre-season game. Part of me feels like I shouldn’t even be posting [...]
In a seemingly impossible turn of events, it has become even more crowded inside for the Milwaukee Bucks. When Milwaukee left for Vegas Summer League last Sunday, they did so with Darnell Jackson seemingly in line to split the majority of minutes at the power forward position for the week in Vegas. Of course, Jackson [...]
Muddied may be a good description for the Milwaukee Bucks current power forward situation. It’s not like there isn’t some talent there. The Bucks have everything they could ever ask for in their power forward position. Athleticism, rebounding, length, 3-point shooting, speed, power and defense. Except those skills are spread amongst five players. And for [...]
I reviewed the 2009-10 Milwaukee Bucks centers on Monday, today we knock out the forwards. Darnell Jackson A D-League terror, Minutes in a useless game. May have a future A late season waiver wire acquisition, the Bucks thought enough of Jackson to claim him even though he could not be on the playoff roster. This [...]
With 3:42 left in the second quarter, John Salmons hit a jumper. In the next 12:03 of basketball time, and what seemed like eternity in real time, Milwaukee saw one more basket, a Carlos Delfino made layup, in Friday night’s game six loss. That’s the equivalent of just over one quarter of Friday night’s game [...]
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 [...]
