Eastern Conference Preview

2009-10-28T20:30:00Z

The NBA Eastern Conference got better in the offseason, and is probably stronger top to bottom than the West. Our Bucks, unfortunately did not improve for the short term. This is the inescapable Bucks reality as the 2009-10 season gets underway. Playoffs? Let's not even talk about it. There are four new forwards, a rookie point guard and a recovering Michael Redd to work in and around depending on his mood. Coach Scott Skiles has his work cut out for him. The Bucks need to simply be young, play...(read more)

I picked up the midwest edition of the New York Times today to have something to look at while having my morning coffee and was hit with the unexpected.

Young forwards off the bench? That's right. 37-year-old Kurt Thomas and Carlos Delfino started at the forward positions...(read more)

Knocking Ramon Sessions won't make Bucks fans feel better

2009-09-13T03:48:00Z

Instead of getting irate about the Bucks' confounding ability to shrug players in out of their fans' diminishing awareness of the existence of said Milwaukee NBA squad, I took a stroll through the archives here at thy hollowed institute of sportsbubble-tron. Of course this meant reviewing the all-important trade for Wally Szczerbiak's really neato cool wolf skin parka ... I still think it's a neato cool parka that should have been brought to Milwaukee last summer for a certain overpaid...(read more)
