A college advisor of mine once told me that, when making a big change in life, there were always two things to consider. The first was to think of where this decision would leave me one year from that current moment. What would be different and how would that affect me? The other angle [...]
For a team fighting for the lowest playoff seed in the inferior conference, the Milwaukee Bucks sure have been receiving a lot of attention lately. Whether it was rumors that placed young potential cornerstone Brandon Jennings at odds with management, trade rumors swirling around the starting backcourt, or making the biggest splash of the trade deadline, the [...]
If there’s one thing that seems glaringly obvious to me after this season covering the Milwaukee Bucks, it’s that NBA players prefer to be treated like men. They want to know what’s going on and why they aren’t playing if they aren’t playing. It’s a matter of trust and honesty. If they’re sitting on the [...]
I insert this video, not because I’m laughing like the Bucks have some master plan, but because I’m going insane, little by little, as each new report comes out and the Bucks get closer and closer to either being the same team altogether or a team that’s slightly different but even further from the one [...]
[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 [...]
Jim Boylan is now at the helm of the Milwaukee Bucks’ ship and he is riding into a storm. He is going to get tested early. The Milwaukee Bucks ushered in the regime of their new head coach with a 108-99 victory over the lowly Phoenix Suns, the Western Conference’s second worst team. While the opinion [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks have certainly had better weeks of basketball. ..Yes, I’ll (briefly, I’ll let someone else write a reaction) get to Skiles. A quick look back, though. After winning the NBA title conquering the world beating the Heat on December 29th, the Bucks have regressed quite a bit, dropping their last four contests in [...]
One of the most difficult steps in writing about Scott Skiles is choosing which angry photo of him to use with the article. With Skiles and the Milwaukee Bucks recently thrust into the national spotlight, a lot of websites had to make the difficult decision of choosing which Skiles photo to use. I’m here to [...]
According to multiple reports, the Milwaukee Bucks and General Manager John Hammond are working on a contract extension. Hammond met with the media Tuesday morning to discuss the mutually agreed upon departure of Head Coach Scott Skiles. Hammond was hired in April of 2008 shortly after the Bucks fired General Manager Larry Harris in the [...]
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 [...]
