As Tobias Harris sat with one knee on the ground, arm extended into a balled up fist in celebration after hitting a three that would lead either to overtime or a regulation Orlando Magic win over the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquis Daniels pleaded with the ref to undo the mistake he just made, I could [...]
Special guest post from Mitch Vomhof today looking at Milwaukee’s schedule the rest of the way. – J With 13 games left in the NBA season, playoff races and end-of-year scenarios are starting to play out for teams across the league. After Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Bucks sit at 34-35, squarely in 8th [...]
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 [...]
Orlando Magic 99 Final Recap | Box Score 94 Milwaukee Bucks Drew Gooden, PF 42 MIN | 9-21 FG | 2-2 FT | 8 REB | 4 AST | 21 PTS | -5 I’m buying in, with one rule. If this guy could play like he did against the Magic every night, he would be [...]
(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 18. TJ Ford, the only Bucks player I’ve ever owned the replica jersey of. – Jeremy) About midway through the 2003-04 NBA season, TJ [...]
Fall behind early, battle back admirably, close the lead to an obtainable amount in the fourth quarter and then turn the ball over and stall offensively at key moments, preventing a seemingly waiting to be had game. Happened again against Orlando, as it has so many times this season. Milwaukee dropped a tough to watch [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy In Orlando Wednesday night, Milwaukee made a run in the fourth quarter to make things look respectable, but trailed by double digits virtually the entire game. The culprit? A shooting percentage that hovered under 33% again for the majority of the evening. It was the same story that’s played out so many times [...]
Enemy: MagicBasketball.net Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Jameer Nelson Nelson is a good matchup for Dooling. He’s small and not overwhelmingly fast, so Dooling should be able to put lots of pressure on him using his length advantage. Nelson knows this offense very well though and always keeps spacing on the court. He’s a very [...]
Recap/Box Score/Enemy Depleted opponent be damned, this game was about the Milwaukee Bucks. No one in the home locker room Saturday night was feeling bad for their flu-stricken counterparts from Orlando. Only 19 games into this young season, the Bucks have seen Andrew Bogut, Carlos Delfino, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Corey Maggette and Drew Gooden all miss [...]
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 [...]
