Milwaukee Bucks: Top 5 Landing Spots If Monta Ellis Opts Out
Milwaukee Bucks guard Monta Ellis has one year left on his contract, but there is a decent chance that he’ll opt out and test the waters of free agency this summer. While Ellis certainly has his flaws, he is a useful player and at times he can be quite entertaining to watch. In the right situation, he could be a huge contributor on a winning team. With that in mind, let’s look at some teams who might be thinking about bringing Ellis in this summer. Philadelphia 76ers Last year was a crushing disappointment for the Sixers, as...
read moreNBA Playoffs 2013: Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks Series Recap
The Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks series is officially over, with the Heat defeating the Bucks 4-0 in a series that wasn’t even that close. LeBron James and company took care of business at home, then went to Milwaukee and finished out the series. Nobody expected the Bucks to defeat the Heat except Brandon Jennings (in six, right?), but they really came out and laid an egg. Let’s take a look at the series in review: Game Scores (Miami wins 4-0) Game 1 at Miami: Heat 110, Bucks 87 Game 2 at Miami: Heat 98, Bucks 86 Game 3 at...

The fat lady is raring to go as the Miami Heat has a commanding 3-0 series lead and are looking to end the Milwaukee Bucks’ playoff run Sunday, April 28. That shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise as Miami had the best regular season record at 66-16 and so claimed home-court advantage for the course of the playoffs. Milwaukee on the other hand is the worst team taking part in the postseason festivities with a 38-44 record. Put two and two together and it’s not really much of a shock that the league’s best team are on the verge of a...

The 2013 NBA playoffs are in full swing, with each of the eight first-round series having finished game one. Did anyone guess the home teams would have gone 8-0? Pound that home chalk in Las Vegas! Now that we’ve seen the matchups, we’ve got more questions. Let’s take a look at each series and play “fact or fiction”. Eastern Conference No. 1 Miami Heat vs. No. 8 Milwaukee Bucks The Heat could take their opponent for granted be surprised by the Bucks – FICTION In game one, the Miami Heat won 110-87 in a game...
read moreNBA Playoffs 2013: Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview
The Eastern Conference playoffs seeds are mostly locked in. The defending champion Miami Heat are set to face the Milwaukee Bucks in this year’s one versus eight first-round matchup. This by all definitions is an underdog matchup. Think David versus Goliath, Rocky Balboa versus Apollo Creed, The Average Joes versus The Purple Cobras. Problem is the little guy doesn’t miraculously get the victory this time. Slice and dice it whichever way you like, there’s only one winner in this one and that’s the Miami Heat, who won the season series...
read moreMilwaukee Bucks: Are They A Legitimate Threat In The Eastern Conference?
The Milwaukee Bucks clinched at least the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference on Saturday, April 6, and are headed to the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-10 season. On Tuesday, April 9, the Bucks visit the Miami Heat, who they are likely to match up with in their first-round series later this month. The Bucks still have a chance to move up to seventh to avoid the Heat, but then would have to deal with either the New York Knicks or possibly the Indiana Pacers. For now, let’s assume that the Bucks remain in the eighth spot and face...
read moreNBA: Projecting The Eastern Conference Playoffs
The playoff picture in the Eastern Conference is beginning to set in, but with some shuffling of teams still likely to take place. So as the regular season winds down, here are some interesting storylines and potential first-round matchups that are worth exploring. (1) Miami Heat vs. (8) Milwaukee Bucks Last month, Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings boldly stated his preference to face the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs: “The two games that we played Miami so far, we matched up well against them,” Jennings...
read moreNBA: One Player Each Team Can’t Do Without
The phrase “franchise player” gets thrown around a lot. Teams usually have a player that encapsulates what the franchise is about. They help sell tickets, bring in new fans and most importantly — win games. Let’s look at one player each team in the NBA couldn’t manage without. Atlanta Hawks: Al Horford Al Horford is a very underrated player. A very skilled big man, Horford doesn’t get the attention of frontcourt mate Josh Smith — perhaps due to J-Smoove’s dunks — but he is definitely more of an elite performer....
read moreMilwaukee Bucks: What Impact Will Benching of Brandon Jennings Have on Team’s Future?
The Milwaukee Bucks seem headed towards a first-round clash against the big, bad Miami Heat. They’re a dreadful 3-7 over their last 10 games and their star, Brandon Jennings, is now a bit peeved after being benched during the fourth quarter of Milwaukee’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, March 27. Really, there isn’t anything positive that will come out of this situation. Jim Boylan reportedly benched Jennings to energize his team. Prior to the start of the fourth quarter–when Jennings was benched–the Bucks erased an...
read moreMilwaukee Bucks: Analyzing Their Decision-Filled Offseason
Trading for J.J. Redick wasn’t supposed to result in anything good for the Milwaukee Bucks. Having three relatively undersized guards–Redick, Monta Ellis, Brandon Jennings–wasn’t supposed to be a formula for success. But the Milwaukee Bucks have proven us wrong. They have mustered a 7-4 record since Redick made his much-anticipated debut on Feb. 24 and in turn, the Bucks firmly occupy the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with less than 20 games to the finish line. Plus, one good streak coupled with a bad streak by the Atlanta...
