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 [...]
Without Andrew Bogut… …it’s an understatement to say the Bucks aren’t the same. Offensively, there was very little room for shooters to operate and the guards had no release valve when they drew extra defenders on penetration. …defensively, Milwaukee was equally disastrous. If I had a dollar for every time a Bucks defender flew by [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 39-31 Vs. Miami Heat (Erik Spoelstra) 38-34 Date: 3/26/2010 Time: 7:30 (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin and NBA TV Matchups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Carlos Arroyo The shipping out of Rafer Alston initially seemed like a questionable move, given that he helped Orlando so tremendously last season after Jameer Nelson went [...]
Recap/Box Score Most Bucks fans are unabashed Brandon Jennings apologists. They see the missed shots, they see the low field goal percentage at the rim and they see occasionally questionable shot selection and it doesn’t bother them. Aside from having someone to finally hitch the bandwagon to after years of suffering, there is a valid [...]
Four teams will be battling for three playoff spots in the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Looking at the remaining schedules, it appears if Miami can keep it together long enough, they have a good chance to make some noise come April. With as soft a schedule as a team could ever ask for in [...]
Recap/Box Score In front of what appeared to be only close friends and relatives of both teams, it was very clear that the Miami Heat can be boiled down to two parts: Dwyane Wade and a bunch of guys. Just as clear Monday night was that the Bucks continue their recent uptick in play and [...]
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 [...]
