Contrary to popular belief, the Bucks season is not over. Nor does the NBA delay the start of the playoffs until Andrew Bogut is healthy. And don’t expect a first round bye because the Bucks would have been competitive with a healthy Bogut. No, the NBA keeps moving forward every day. So that’s what the [...]
“Today was just a great day. My teammates were looking for me.” - Thaddeus Young 3-7-2010 “We’re loaded with guys who know how to put the ball in the basket. We all enjoy sharing the ball.” - Jason Kidd 3-6-2010 “We’re not good enough to play 1-on-1.” - Mike Miller 3-5-2010 “We found spots and [...]
In between referee whistles and defender complaints Andrew Bogut stood tall on Friday night in one of those efforts that makes you say, “Oh, I can see why this guy was a number one pick.” Trading blows back and forth with Brad Miller like they were two aging prize-fighters, Bogut shook off a rough start [...]
Recap/Box Score/Adv Box/BrewHoop/Nets Are Scorching The Bucks beat a bad team on the road. Of course, by bad I mean “historically awful”. I wasn’t able to catch much of it thanks to a lagging internet and poor sleep schedule, so I won’t pretend like I’m going to be able to properly break down the fine [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 13-18 (Probable) Inactives: Joe Alexander and Dan Gadzuric at New Jersey Nets (Kiki Vanderwegh) 3-30 (Probable) Inactives: Eduardo Najera, Tony Battie and Sean Williams Date: 1/5/2010 Time: 6:00 (CST) TV: Nah, not today Match-Ups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Devin Harris Like most of these match-ups, this one won’t be quite [...]
Recap/Box Score I’m not going to lie, as soon as the last shot of regulation left Kevin Durant’s hand at half-court, I was slightly worried. Kobe did it and Dirk did it and if you add Kobe plus Dirk, who do you get? So you can see where my anxiety stemmed from. But The Durantula’s [...]
The NBA is a funny place. In almost every way, the Magic are a superior to the Bucks. Milwaukee had no business ever hanging around with Orlando, but they came out with something extra, hung around with the Magic and made a game of it. What was it that set the Bucks apart from their [...]
Recaps/Box Score The most bizarre thing about the second half for the Bucks was that it took so long to happen. I mean, we all know Michael Redd has been playing for appearances sake and with the hope that he’ll magically find his game and improve his trade value. He certainly hasn’t been playing because [...]
It feels like I’m watching the same movie over and over. I know what’s going to happen, I know who the good and bad guys are, the sub-plot never changes and the setting is always cold. Only it’s more frustrating than a typical film, because before I ever started watching this gloomy presentation I knew [...]
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 [...]
