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 [...]
This is the last Buck Hits post of 2012. What fun we’ve had! Currently, the Milwaukee Bucks are 15-12. They’re fifth in the Eastern Conference and a half game behind the Indiana Pacers for first place in the Central Division. Beno Udrih is healthy again and Tobias Harris is probable for tonight’s game against the Miami Heat. In the [...]
*Note: Most of this article was put together before Monday’s win. All of the statistics, charts etc. have been updated. I still decided to publish because one win means little.* After getting off to a hot 6-2 start, the Bucks have dropped three of their last four to Chicago, Miami and – get this, the [...]
As a Milwaukee Bucks fan, many of us know that excitement is often quickly followed by disappointment. The losses this week to the Charlotte Bobcats and Miami Heat provided that disappointment, but it shouldn’t be too severe. The Bobcats loss was marred by questionable foul calls late and not every team is capable of taking [...]

Miami Heat 114 Final Recap | Box Score 96 Milwaukee Bucks Carlos Delfino, SF 32 MIN | 8-12 FG | 3-3 FT | 1 REB | 4 AST | 24 PTS | -12 For the majority of his minutes he was tasked with stopping a man who was unstoppable on Monday night. For that, I’d [...]
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. [...]
Bad players are bad. Inconsistent players are inconsistent. There’s a big difference. Nights like Friday night illustrate that difference. Chris Douglas-Roberts is by no means a bad player, neither is John Salmons. But for differing reasons, neither has been able to put together much consistent basketball this season. Sometimes, they look bad and sometimes, they [...]
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 [...]
