Milwaukee Bucks

Usually when a team underachieves, players are dealt during the deadline or the coach is fired. Typically, something happens. But that wasn’t the case for the Milwaukee Bucks. The team stood still at last week’s trade deadline as they are 23-33 and already likely out of the playoff picture in the East. The Bucks have [...]

Michael Carter-Williams can rest easy. The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t trading him. Or so they say. Per Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports: Guard Michael Carter-Williams has been told by the Bucks that he would not be traded, a source said, but the Sixers told him the same thing. — Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpears) February 16, [...]

Add the Milwaukee Bucks to the list of NBA teams who most likely won’t be making a move prior to the February 18 trade deadline. Here’s Kidd on the Association’s player-swap cutoff, per Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Kidd on trade deadline: "I don't know if we have any action going on, [...]

Here we come, NBA All-Star break. Which means here comes the NBA playoffs! More than half of the Association’s 2015-16 season is in the books, and save for a cluster of steady teams at the top of our power rankings, the league’s hierarchy knows no order. For every certainty like the Warriors, Spurs, Cavaliers and [...]

What time is it? NBA power rankings time. A lot has happened since we last met. All-Star rosters were finalized. The Warriors refused to lose. The Suns refused to let Jeff Hornacek keep his job. The Cavaliers found their mojo. The Bulls forgot how to score. The Spurs unleashed Kyle Anderson. The Knicks proved they’re [...]

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Half of the 2015-16 NBA season is in the books. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done it. You’ve watched, you’ve cheered, you’ve moaned. You’ve wondered why it’s taken the Suns so damn long to sell off Markieff Morris. You’ve pondered the meaning of life whenever the Spurs or Warriors take the floor. You’ve lamented [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks? Trade Greg Monroe? Less than a season into his two-plus-one-year deal? Keep dreaming, dreamers. That’s the Bucks’ reaction to the notion they should deal the big man, anyway. Zach Lowe of ESPN.com floated the idea in a column last Friday, noting that Milwaukee isn’t actually shopping him: Parker will find NBA identity [...]

It has to suck playing in the NBA’s Western Conference. Unless you’re the Warriors or Spurs. Then it’s probably pretty chill. For those other 13 squads? Yeah, it sucks. Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to. Sure, we knew the Spurs would be really good, even if we didn’t know they’d be historically awesome. We knew the Warriors would be great. We knew the Cavaliers would be, too. [...]
