Milwaukee Bucks

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the coach? According to Dave Begel of OnMilwaukee.com, the NBA’s All-Time leading scorer is interested in coaching the Milwaukee Bucks: One name I didn’t hear, and one that I think should move to the very head of the line is a man I talked with last week who said he’d jump at the [...]

Monta Ellis is an enigma, but is he one that can make a worthwhile contribution on a contending NBA team? The volume shooting guard has peaked my curiosity since his days with the Golden State Warriors. He can score in bunches and sometimes seemingly at will. Other times, his shots are so off he seems [...]

The Atlanta Hawks elected not to trade Josh Smith leading into the NBA trade deadline, inaction that both infuriated the masses yet was unavoidable. After months of uncertainty surrounding Smith’s status with the team, it was believed he and the Hawks had reached the point of no return. Rumors were being fed left and right, [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

In a sit-down with Gary Woelfel of the Journal Times, one thing was made clear: Samuel Dalembert and Scott Skiles did not see eye to eye. The 31 year old veteran center was acquired from Houston in the off season. After contributing some solid minutes to the team’s gritty image and surprising record, Dalembert wound [...]

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have finally arrived. Sort of. It’s been just two games, two victories over poor to mediocre factions, yet it’s meant something. It’s meant everything. Los Angeles has throttled the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks over the last two contests en route to its first two [...]

Ersan Ilyasova is an enigma. Or he could be a one-year wonder. Either way, he remains someone the Brooklyn Nets must avoid. Why do I say this? Because according to Gary Wolfel of the Racine Journal-Times (via NetsDaily.com), the Nets are reportedly once again interesting in acquiring the essential stretch forward: Gary Woelfel, long-time Bucks [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies are good. Like really good. Like torch the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder good. After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on opening night, the Grizzles have won six straight games, establishing themselves as one of the NBA’s most formidable powerhouses in the process. Four of those games were won by [...]

Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics have some work to do. After an offseason that saw Boston lose Ray Allen, yet gain enough talent to supposedly remain title contenders, the team is off to a lukewarm 2-2 start. More troubling than the Celtics’ record, though, is their performances during both their wins and losses. Not [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks are fools. There, I said it. No, Milwaukee isn’t foolish for re-signing Ersan Ilyasova to a fat five-year deal, and it certainly isn’t foolish for having dealt Andrew Bogut to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Monta Ellis. The Bucks are foolish because they’ve yet to ink high-scoring guard Brandon Jennings [...]
