The Milwaukee Bucks are roughly five weeks away from the NBA Trade Deadline on February 21. In these next five weeks, the Bucks play 7 games on the road (POR, CLE, DET, NYK, DEN, UTAH, BKN) and 8 at home (PHI, GS, CHI, ORL, DET, WAS, PHI, BKN). With a lot of winnable games in [...]
Last night, the nickname “Dr. Blocktopus” was created by Eric Buenning and me for Larry Sanders. Sanders dug the nickname and Eric and I began to collaborate on the Milwaukee Bucks’ version of the Sinister Six from Spider Man. Eric wrote the words and I made the images. We didn’t want to stop after six [...]
Revenge is on the Milwaukee Bucks mind heading into tonight’s game against the Detroit Pistons. A lot has happened in the twelve days since the two teams last met, but the Bucks find themselves in a pretty similar spot. After coming out flat in Detroit and dropping the first of what would turn out to [...]
At first, this introduction to Buck Hits was super pessimistic. But then I remembered that it’s 2013. Fresh starts. New beginnings. 2012 pessimism is so 2012. So, instead of talking about sad things (like this), let’s talk about John Henson and how much we love him. Isn’t he great!? Watch him learn how to dance! So fun! [...]
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 [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks sure are strange. Just when you think that the team is incredibly average, they go to Boston and beat the Celtics for the third time this season with Larry Sanders playing better than Kevin Garnett and Drew Gooden receiving a DNP-CD. This dunk happened. It was great. Now, it’s possible that the [...]
Woooo! An undefeated week of Milwaukee Bucks basketball! Sure, the team had some problems and they weren’t exactly playing title contenders, but they won and won and won and won. And that’s a good thing. Tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers will be a huge test for the team and hopefully they handle it well. Here’s [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 90 Final Recap | Box Score 86 Cleveland Cavaliers Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, PF 36 MIN | 4-7 FG | 1-4 FT | 7 REB | 6 AST | 9 PTS | +5 Another solid game from Mbah a Moute. Efficient scoring to go along with seven rebounds, six assists and four [...]
Last week I said that the Milwaukee Bucks were a frustrating and confusing team to watch. Guess what? They still are! This week included a hard fought win against the Rondo-less Celtics and blowout losses to the New Orleans Pelicans (might as well start getting used to it) and the San Antonio Spurs. 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 [...]
