Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Fans marginally prefer Rollins

Last week, our Reacts survey continued to explore Ryan Rollins’ nascent tenure as Bucks starting point guard, this time in the wake of news that Kevin Porter Jr. will be out even longer. If you forgot, KPJ played the one from jump street this season, but not ten minutes in, sprained his right ankle. He […]

Taurean Prince will miss extended time

It looks like the Milwaukee Bucks will be without one of their top reserves for some time. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Taurean Prince has a herniated disc in his neck and will be out for a “significant amount” of time. Prince had missed the last two games with what was initially deemed a […]

Herd signs former All-Star Victor Oladipo

Longtime NBA fans surely remember former Most Improved Player Victor Oladipo, who has been out of the league for two seasons.

Bobby Portis, your time has come

(Editor’s note: this post is adapted from benchmobblog.com) Bobby Portis has been a fan favorite in Milwaukee for well over half a decade now. He, alongside Giannis, is the heart and soul of the Bucks. Bobby has helped this team accomplish so much, and he’s had so many awesome moments in a green-and-cream jersey. That’s […]

Momentum Moments: Vol. 1

They aren’t easily definable, and you certainly can’t search for them in a box score. But every hoop-head knows them. Feels them as they happen. In their core. They are visceral—the catalysts for pandemonium; ushers of the choral groan.  Momentum moments. It’s not hyperbole to say that games are decided by these. Or is it? Here’s how […]

Rapid Recap: Raptors 128, Bucks 100

The Toronto Raptors pummeled the tired Milwaukee Bucks 128-100 tonight. Toronto’s blowout win was fueled by their hot shooting from three—they went 17/38 from outside.

Bucks vs. Pacers Player Grades: Giannis, Myles Turner eke by in Indy

Giannis’ 16-foot fadeaway at the buzzer has the Bucks at 5-2 on the young season with a 117-115 win over the Pacers. It certainly wasn’t a sterling effort with some glaring free-throw shooting, turnover, and defense rebounding issues, but the Bucks are the sixth team to five wins. This is only Milwaukee’s second win in […]
