Summer League Analysis: Yi Jianlian
Although Yi has the athleticism and game of a small forward, he can do more than he showed against Memphis. When it comes to passing, Yi has a keen sense on where everyone’s at. There were some instances where, after passing it, he would get lost within the offense, but he made some spectacular plays. Overall, he is gifted when the ball is in his hands.

Bogut's Injury A Major Blow To Bucks Playoff Hopes
With the Brewers missing the playoffs for the 24th consecutive season, and the Packers mired in a
1-4 start, it seemed like it was finally the time for
the Bucks to shine in the sports spotlight of the city
of Milwaukee. Then it happened...

RotoFreak.com: Charlotte Bobcats Fantasy Preview
It's sad to see Charlie Villanueva leaving the run-and-gun Raptors, as his no-defense, all-offense game seemed to fit right in there. Obviously, the Bucks' offense isn't exactly stale and there's a wide open spot for Charlie in the starting lineup; so, this isn't going to stunt his growth as a fantasy player.

The Bucks Blew It Big Time With Magloire Trade
After months of speculation, the Milwaukee Bucks officially dealt center, Jamaal Magloire. What did the Bucks get in return for their starting center? Well, not very much; essentially a trio of role players in Steve Blake, Brian Skinner, and Ha Seung-Jin. I’m sure most Bucks fans are thinking, “Wow, this is a terrible deal.” You know what, they’re absolutely right.

Just Like Dallas
Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Larry Harris must have been playing the “what if” game throughout Wednesday night’s NBA Draft. Back in late October when Harris traded starting small forward Desmond Mason and the Bucks first round selection to the New Orleans Hornets for center Jamaal Magloire, it seemed like a brilliant move.

Ford’s Trade Signals A Change In Team’s Direction
T.J. Ford's biggest weakness is the ability to consistently hit the outside shot. Now, with Charlie Villanueva, the Bucks can surround Andrew Bogut with four players that are a threat from behind the arc in the starting lineup.

Bucks Take Game 3 In Dominating Fashion
The Bucks sent a message on Saturday that they will not go quietly into the night. If Detroit wants this series, they will have to take it, starting with Monday’s Game 4. It will be up to the Bucks to keep up their intensity and unselfish play in order to send the series back to Detroit tied at 2 games apiece.

Don't Call It A Comeback
It all started in TJ Ford's first pro NBA season in 2003-2004. The Bucks, who at the time were carrying a 29-26 record, were the surprise of the year, and TJ was the starting point guard on a young team.

First Week Impressions
Was Micheal Redd worth 90 million dollars? Well in the first two games it appears like the answer is yes. Redd has scored 30 points and 41 points (a career high) in his first two outings.

Welcome back Ervin
Ervin "Don't call me Magic" Johnson's hardnosed attitude showed true during his tenure as the Bucks captain in their remarkable 2001 run to the Eastern Conference Finals. He brought respectability to the team that was missing before his presence and lost after his first departure.

In The Meantime
In an attempt to raise spirits about the weeks ahead before the Bucks first game, here is a little list of things Milwaukee fans can attempt to get involved in to pass the time.

The Flying Dutchman Has Landed
With Gadzuric, the Bucks now have a center that could fill in nicely for an injured starter.

Looking Ahead At The Bucks Schedule
With the 2005-06 season schedules already released, Bucks fans, and players alike, were able to take a look at the marquee games for the upcoming season.

Balance Of Power
Letting Zaza walk away for nothing just doesn’t make sense. Big Men are hard to come by in the NBA and surely the Bucks could have gotten something in return from somebody!
|  |

Bucks Lose Zaza Pachulia To Atlanta
In Atlanta, Pachulia will in all likelihood become a
starter and receive a significant increase in playing
time, neither of which was going to happen had he
chose to remain in Milwaukee.

Keeping Zaza A Big Deal
The Bucks have been busy this off-season with the re-signing of Michael Redd being move #1. Now that Redd is taken care of, keeping Zaza Pachulia in Milwuakee has become the Bucks priority.

How Good Will Bogut Make The Bucks?
On draft night, there wasn’t a clearer pick as to who was going #1. He was from Austrailia, a player of the year award winner, and was the next big thing to hit Milwaukee. He goes by Andrew. Andrew Bogut.
|  |
|
Bucks Must Take a Color Blind Approach with Bogut
If picked first in the 2005 draft, Andrew Bogut would be the first white player to be taken at #1 since the Bucks selected Kent Bensen in the top spot in 1977.
| |
|
Bucks Should Consider Trading Down With Charlotte
Will they Buck the trend and grab a player who will provide an immediate impact, or will they follow in the footsteps of the Magic and select the best player regardless of how it will affect Redd’s decision?

Redd Is Key To The Bucks Future
Ray Allen is the reason I didn’t get much sleep on Saturday night. Michael Redd, on the other hand, will be the reason I will be able to sleep soundly from now on.

Bucks Still Searching For Answers
I was as big of a fan of George Karl as anybody when he held the Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals. I was one of his biggest nemesis when the team failed to make the playoffs the following year.

All Hail King George!

All year long people criticized Rashard Lewis because of the contract Orlando gave him last summer, but he has paid dividends for the Magic this postseason.
Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger had nice seasons, but they appear to be in that limbo between being good and being bad enough to get help in the lottery.
Billy Knight will be remembered more for his blunders than his successes.
Rudy Gay positively broke out this season and is the Grizzlies' focal building block moving forward, that is unless they land the number one overall pick.
The Bulls were thought to be a talented young team expected to take their collective game to the next level but instead played like a young team with less talent than anticipated.
Maybe it was the green hue that has been sprinkled on the league this season, or Atlanta’s losing record, but there didn’t seem to be a matchup Boston couldn’t exploit before this seven-game relationship began.
Who should the fans blame for the Nuggets sweep at the hands of the Lakers? George Karl barely runs an offense and the team doesn’t focus on defense. However, the answer to the question lies in the team's front office.
The Lakers' offense is synergistic; the Nuggets are a ticking time bomb with no semblance of offensive cohesion.
For the first time since the Run TMC days, three Warriors averaged 20 points a night and by winning 48 games, it was their highest win total since 93-94 when they won 50.
What started out as a very promising season for the Bobcats ended in more of a whimper than a bang, as they failed to not only make the playoffs, but also to better the previous season's win total. 
The winner of this series can be patient, if ambitious. The loser has no choice but to examine the possibility of upheaval.
