This was a good week for the Milwaukee Bucks, even with Wednesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Brandon Jennings learned how to pass, totaling 48 assists in three games. Monta Ellis learned how to shoot, making 61.1 percent of his shots. And J.J. Redick single-handedly propelled the Bucks to victory in overtime against the [...]
There are a lot of links this week so I won’t bore you with a long, unnecessary introduction to this post that would be nothing more than my pointless drivel about what I think the state of the team is and how I personally feel about the Milwaukee Bucks’ trade for J.J. Redick because that [...]
Scuttlebutt scuttlebutt scuttlebutt. That’s all there’s been over the past 72 hours and that’s all there will be until 2PM tomorrow. The Milwaukee Bucks are in the middle of many of these rumors, and one that was offered up yesterday by Ken Berger of CBS was with Orlando for J.J. Redick. The trade would send [...]
Welcome to the all-star break. The Milwaukee Bucks sit in the illustrious 8th seed with a record of 26-25. They’re four games ahead of the 9th seed Philadelphia 76ers and one-and-a-half games behind the 7th seed Boston Celtics. We’re six day away from the trade deadline and the Bucks are reportedly “very active” in the [...]
This post was inspired by this tweet: ‘Bad Shooting Night’ – player with 15+ FGA and <40% FGM. Among All-Stars: Westbrook 17; Harden 16; Kobe 14; ‘Melo 10; Durant 6…LeBron 1 — NBA Guru (@NBAGuru) February 11, 2013 I wondered how many times our lovelies Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis had “bad shooting nights” of [...]
Last night’s loss in Utah proved how important LARRY SANDERS! has become to the Milwaukee Bucks. The defense looked lost, couldn’t box out and played like a shell of its normal, slightly above average self. The absence of Sanders was eerily reminiscent to the absence felt when Andrew Bogut would miss games. I applaud Sanders [...]
It’s February! That happened quick! What happened to January!? Where’d it go?! I have no idea. It’s also 2013, guys. That’s crazy. It’s the future. And because it’s the future, anything is possible. Like flying cars! Or instant pizza! Preferably instant pizza because pizza is pizza and I wouldn’t trust a stinkin’ flying car. You [...]
Last week during Buck Hits I suspected that the Milwaukee Bucks would be buyers at the February 21 trade deadline since it seems impossible that they won’t make the playoffs. This week, most of the links are about the Bucks acquiring talent (being buyers) at the deadline. Am I a prophet? Am I John Hammond? [...]
[waits for applause to die down] Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a night full of stars! Well some stars. Kinda stars. No All-Stars, but stars to us nonetheless. [gestures to random spot in the front row] This guy gets it. I am Eric Buenning, your host for the evening and I’m glad you all [...]
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 [...]
