What are Ex-Bulls John Salmons and James Johnson up to?

But as they've succeeded so have ex-Bulls John Salmons and James Johnson. We'll begin with Johnson. By Paul M. Banks … [Read more...] about What are Ex-Bulls John Salmons and James Johnson up to?
A sensible eulogy for Michael Redd’s Milwaukee Bucks career

Milwaukee Bucks GM John Hammond deserves a 2010-11 season pass
If NBA seasons were a collection of Mortal Kombat matches, the Milwaukee Bucks were on the receiving end of a Sub-Zero freezing rain finishing move at the hands of the Charlotte Bobcats.

It’s nothing personal, the Milwaukee Bucks were an embarrassment against the Kings
A record setting embarrassment against the Boston Celtics on the road is one thing. A back breaking defeat (on two days rest) at home to an NBA doormat on the verge of re-locating and playing without the face of their franchise is something else entirely. There's very few positive things to take away from the Milwaukee Bucks' 97-90 soul-crushing loss to the Anaheim Royals … [Read more...] about It’s nothing personal, the Milwaukee Bucks were an embarrassment against the Kings
Are Indiana Pacers in Relapse?
Well, so much for the newfound optimism under Frank Vogel.

Limping Milwaukee Bucks beat up on paralyzed Cleveland Cavaliers
Tuesday, it was the starters. Wednesday, it was the bench.
