I was talking to someone at work the other day and they talked to me about problem solving, problem spotting and problem acceptance. There are some people who see problems and complain about them without countering with a solution, people who see problems and work to solve them and people who decide some problems may [...]
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! [...]
Ersan Ilyasova is a fantastic rebounder, one of the best in the league at drawing charges and was able to consistently make 3-point shots last season. That’s why he is so good. Other searches since this last time we played this game. - is calling someone a pessimist offensive (NO! WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT!?) - are [...]
(We’re not quite done with Ray Allen just yet. We announced him as our top Milwaukee Bucks player of the past 20 years on Tuesday. Today, Josh Hilgendorf has his own take on Ray Allen. And we have more Ray Allen lined up for later this week. – JS) Choosing the top 20 Bucks’ players [...]
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 [...]
(Glenn Robinson has a cooler nickname than any Milwaukee Bucks player since Sidney Moncrief, even if he stole Big Dog from Antoine Carr. Of course, I’d never lead an article about Sidney Moncrief referring to his nickname (though I would lead a Carr article in that way). That says something about Robinson. A perpetual disappointment, [...]
(I don’t really need to sell you on Sam Cassell. He was something of a vagabond in the NBA, though not necessarily by his choice. He played for eight teams over 15 seasons, but if ever Cassell had an NBA home, it was in Milwaukee. He was the point guard on the best Bucks team of the [...]
(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 7. Ervin Johnson. Quite simply, EJ was the Bucks defense from 1997-2002. Everyone else just existed on that end of the court. Johnson [...]
Box Score/Recap/Enemy Looking for more reasons to dislike Kevin Garnett, Bucks fans? Almost universally, Bucks fans are bummed out after an incredibly hard fought, intense 105-102 overtime loss for the Bucks on Wednesday night. And with good reason. Some will say it was the refs fault, some will question a few decisions by 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 [...]
