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.

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 […]
Bucks vs. Raptors Player Grades: Bobby Portis’ and Ryan Rollins’ rough shooting spurs blowout loss
In an embarrassing display, the Milwaukee Bucks were blown out by the Toronto Raptors one night after beating the Indiana Pacers on the buzzer.

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.

This is only Milwaukee’s second win in […]

Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Fan optimism soars on record, Rollins
Last week, I was a little (pleasantly) surprised to see how many Bucks fans were forecasting a high playoff seed for this squad after only one game: 71% of our respondents felt they’d secure home court advantage in their first-round series.
