Recap/Box Score When Joe Johnson started putting it down in the fourth quarter, four straight buckets from 11-feet and in with none of them being very challenging for him and a different defender failing in each attempt to stop him, it felt like the same story as the last Hawks-Bucks game. Atlanta had a superstar [...]
Recap/Box Score After intensity lagged considerably against the Clippers and Kings, one could only assume things had to get better against the Nuggets for the Bucks Saturday. Unfortunately, they were coming off a double overtime game Friday night, got to their hotel around four in the morning Milwaukee time and were facing a team with [...]
Recap/Box Score Saturday night I ventured to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. Unfortunately, the wait was to be over 30 minutes and my friends and I were too hungry to wait.. With a lack of other options in the area, we settled on Applebees. I’m not an Applebees guy; they’ve screwed up my mediocre food [...]
Recap/Box Score It would be difficult for things to be anymore clear right now. After fattening up on the tired, the weak and the poor, the Bucks had quite a challenge in front of them Sunday evening. Awaiting them was the completely healthy, fourth best team in the East. After playing the Hornets without Chris [...]
The weeks and days leading up to the trade deadline involve so many rumors that it’s hard to keep track of what’s reality and what’s fiction. That’s where I come in. I’ve constructed a handy guide of the Bucks players most likely to be on the move. I’ll fill you in on where they could [...]
A few notes from around the internet to get you through the day while you wait for the Bucks-Sixers this evening. Sebastian Pruti of NBA Playbook (and NetsAreScorching.com God bless him) takes a look at Andrew Bogut’s sick performance against the Mavs and simply asks (and answers) the question: How’d He Do That? More and [...]
Recap/Box Score I know the Bucks have been inconsistent this year, hell, I write about it every game. So glancing at a box score and seeing some shaky performances doesn’t really faze me anymore. But they took inconsistency to a whole new level in Friday night’s loss to the Raptors. After playing what I thought [...]
After tonight’s game with the Raptors, the Bucks will have successfully (actually, typically not so successfully) completed 41 games. Milwaukee sits one game back of the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, with 22 home games and 19 away games the rest of the way. With that being said, there are some things [...]
Recap/Box Score If we can be certain about anything regarding an inconsistent Bucks team through 39 games, it’s that they’ll be putting on a good show at home. In their first home game in 12 days, the Bucks withstood a career night (44 points) from one of the most discussed players in the league these [...]
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 [...]
