Milwaukee Bucks

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]

After signing former All-star power forward Kenyon Martin to two consecutive 10-day contracts—it looks like the Bucks have been pleased with his performance and are now planning to secure his services for the rest of this season, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com. Martin, 37, has contributed significantly to the team this season despite having [...]

We all know the Pistons have been on a roll lately as they’ve won 11 of their last 15 games since Josh Smith was traded to the Rockets. But for on Saturday night, thing’s were incredibly grim as they did not only lost to the Bucks (101-86) but also, Brandon Jennings for a long time [...]

There’s something truly zany about the 2014-15 NBA season. It’s been weird. It’s still weird. It’s truly, utterly, completely, wholly, wonderfully, purely, perfectly zany. Allow me to offer up Exhibit A: These here power rankings. Collective movement is neither enormous nor insubstantial. There is virtually no change at the top. But then we get into the [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

The New York Knicks are certainly experiencing one of the worst seasons in franchise history, and on Sunday night against the Bucks, nothing much changed as they were handed their 11th straight loss with a score of 95-82. But for at least one play, there was something to cheer about thanks to their forward Quincy [...]

Hello again. After a brief holiday respite, during which a crap ton of NBA-related things happened, The Hoop Doctors’ power rankings are back. We know it’s been tough, slogging through these last two weeks without the ability to incessantly check and read and cherish and tell your friends about updated power rankings. But the wait [...]

Here’s to stability. Never before, in the year-plus since we’ve been doing these power rankings, has there been less movement within a week. Twelve teams are right where they were last week, which is pretty freaking incredible. That’s almost half the Association, and that never happens. And, somewhat surprisingly, it’s the league’s best teams that [...]

Milwaukee Bucks rookie Jabari Parker suffered a left knee injury during their thrilling 96-94 victory against the Phoenix Suns. He immediately went for an MRI the next day which revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
