There was never a doubt we’d end up here. Ask any NBA fan if there is a Milwaukee Bucks player they can remember over the past 20 years and, after thinking for a while, they’ll probably say Michael Redd. But that’s only because he or she forgot the Bucks used to actually have a real [...]
Michael Redd’s two arms would flick the ball from behind his head towards the hoop from behind the three-point line as only he could. Seconds later, that ball would fall through the net and the crowd would cheer on their star. Between his accuracy and the peculiarity of his stroke, Michael Redd was a very [...]
(We’re counting down the best 20 Bucks since 1991 over the next few weeks. It’s something to do with the lockout sucking the life out of NBA fans. We continue with number 10. Desmond Mason. Dunks and dunks and dunks and dunks. Also, art. – Jeremy) Initially, I didn’t like Desmond Mason. It wasn’t his [...]
From Gery Woelfel at journaltimes.com: I’ve heard Milwaukee Bucks management approached Michael Redd before the lockout about returning for another season, although my impeccable sources insist he’s going to wind up with one of the Eastern Conference’s title contenders. Awwwwwwww. It was all but certain before, but it seems that Michael Redd is finally gone [...]
Ersan Ilyasova Continued to scrap One of the walking wounded Lost his long ball touch Every NBA player needs a card to play that makes him unique. Ilyasova’s appeared to be his combination of scrappy play with a solid touch from three-point range. After last season, Coach Scott Skiles talked of his hopes that Ilyasova [...]
Oh, what a tease. After months of injuries, underwhelming performances, failures to execute, missed shots and fourth quarter collapses, most people feel like they have a pretty good handle on this Bucks team. But Wednesday night’s 104-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors certainly didn’t fit the profile that’s been established. Recent gruesome losses featuring very [...]
(H/T The Basketball Jones and Outside The NBA) It was tough to watch the Chicago Bulls dominate the Milwaukee Bucks down the stretch last Saturday. But hey, that’s what the Bulls do. They are the best defensive team in the league and have the leading MVP candidate on their side. Beating them is a tough [...]
With Michael Redd and Drew Gooden working their way back onto the Milwaukee Bucks active roster, questions are bound to arise regarding just how minutes will be divvied up if the Bucks soon return to full health, something they haven’t had to deal with at virtually any point during this season. But until they do, [...]
The boundless hours of rehab that have finally landed Michael Redd back in Milwaukee probably aren’t comparable to the many minutes Redd spent studying how to be a professional with Ray Allen back in the early 2000s, but the symmetry is worth noting. From start to finish, Redd’s story as a member of the Bucks, [...]
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 [...]
