Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Michael Redd is the only player from the 2000 NBA Draft still playing in the colors that drafted him. Standing in his locker Monday night after the Bucks' stat-padding 93-86 victory over the Toronto Raptors, Redd understood exactly why there was a media swarm around him interested in things other than his 15 minutes and 2 points on 1-6 … [Read more...] about A sensible eulogy for Michael Redd’s Milwaukee Bucks career

Milwaukee Bucks finally close out a win against the Sixers
It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and the Milwaukee Bucks have had considerable problems this season closing out teams good and bad. Saturday night’s 93-87 overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers still featured the Bucks’ late game issues (0-6 in the final five minutes of regulation), with a twist ending where Milwaukee’s defense comes through with one of their … [Read more...] about Milwaukee Bucks finally close out a win against the Sixers
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. The Bucks failure to maintain a six point lead with four minutes remaining against a similarly stunted Bobcats offense was closure for a season rife with bad injury luck and general … [Read more...] about Milwaukee Bucks GM John Hammond deserves a 2010-11 season pass
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.

Limping Milwaukee Bucks beat up on paralyzed Cleveland Cavaliers
Tuesday, it was the starters. Wednesday, it was the bench. For the first time all season, the Milwaukee Bucks strung together a back-to-back set of games where the first unit drove the Land Rover of victory one night, only to have the second unit jump start the stalled vehicle on the way to another win 24 hours later. By Jake McCormick … [Read more...] about Limping Milwaukee Bucks beat up on paralyzed Cleveland Cavaliers
Phoenix Suns scorching third quarter burns Milwaukee Bucks
All too often this season, you'll read Milwaukee Bucks recaps after a loss focusing on a single quarter that effectively killed the Bucks chances at a victory. Unfortunately, Friday night's 102-88 loss to the Phoenix Suns was no different thanks to a third quarter collapse uglier than that of the 2010 U.S. housing market. By Jake McCormick … [Read more...] about Phoenix Suns scorching third quarter burns Milwaukee Bucks
Bogut-less Milwaukee Bucks defense solid in win over Detroit Pistons
The Milwaukee Bucks tossed a proverbial monkey off their backs with a 92-90 victory over the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night. It may have been the size of a Pygmy Marmoset, but it was still a monkey that had prevented the Bucks from beating the Pistons in their previous two meetings.
