Eric Bledsoe Ejected Less Than Three Minutes Into Bucks-Sixers After Chucking The Ball At Joel Embiid's Chest
One of the defining moments of Eric Bledsoe’s short career with the Bucks so far happened in the first round of last year’s playoffs when he allowed Celtics guard Terry Rozier to punk him in Games 1 and 2 of the series, pretended to not know who Rozier was, and then allowed himself to get punked aga...
Extremely Unchill Giannis Antetokounmpo, To Uncooperative Hoop: "Motherfucker!"
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a bit of a frustrating performance against the Brooklyn Nets Monday night. Yes, his Bucks beat a playoff team on the road; yes, Giannis personally had one of those beefy box scores where there are positive integers in many columns. Still, in the context of a guy who shoots ...
Giannis Antetokounmpo<em></em> Made A Little Girl Cry Because He Loved Her Artwork So Much
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the few people in sports who manages to strike the seemingly impossible balance between being a highly competitive, elite professional athlete—who does extremely rude dunks—and being a genuinely good guy....
Maybe D.J. Wilson Had Someplace He Needed To Be, Did You Ever Think Of That
It’s easy to watch this video of Chris Paul executing a sharp step-back crossover dribble, and Bucks defender D.J. Wilson careening off into the distance like God reached down and violently tilted the court under his feet, and assume that Wilson was somehow “owned.” That because Wilson’s wild, stumb...
Giannis And Embiid, Just A Couple Of Giant Space Monsters Smashing Everyone Else Into Hell
The Bucks played the 76ers yesterday, in Milwaukee. The game had an outcome; the outcome had no effect on the standings. I am here to call to your attention the two giant space monsters, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid, who combined for 92 points and 31 rebounds in the game and made everybody ...
Mike Scott Enjoys Overpriced Cocktail In Between Possessions
Late in the first quarter against the Bucks, Sixers forward Mike Scott fell into the crowd while chasing after a rebound he was trying to save for his team. Without looking where to throw it, Scott somehow got the ball to T.J. McConnell who immediately made the midrange shot he attempted. Scott, cl...
The Unstoppable Bucks Lost Again To The Extremely Stoppable Suns
Quick: who’s the only team in the NBA to beat the Milwaukee Bucks twice this season? If you watched the Bucks play last night (or if you read the headline to this post), then you already know the answer: the 14-win Phoenix Suns....

Kings Rookie Marvin Bagley Helped Off Floor After Injuring Knee On Brutal Screen
Most screens in basketball, and roughly one hundred percent of the good ones, are used to help an offensive player gain a little separation from a defender who is crowding his space. The screen from Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon that injured the knee of terrific Kings rookie Marvin Bagley III was not ...

Ja Rule Puts A Curse On The Timberwolves, Which Has To Be Worth, What, At Least A Couple Extra Wins
Ja Rule performed as Saturday night’s halftime entertainment at the Timberwolves-Bucks game in Milwaukee. My favorite part of this is that whoever booked him did so as part of a “90s Night” promotion. Ja Rule’s debut album, the dreadful Venni Vetti Vecci, came out on June 1, 1999....
The Eastern Conference Playoffs Are Going To Be Good As Hell
The Eastern Conference has been dogshit since I started watching basketball, and though the conference’s 2019 Finals participant will surely be skiing uphill in pursuit of a title, the three most significant trades of deadline week all featured Eastern Conference teams getting better by acquiring pl...
JaMychal Green Wrecks Ersan Ilyasova And His Wasted Theatrics With A Thunderous Dunk<em></em>
The Memphis Grizzlies were never really in their Wednesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, falling behind by double digits in the first quarter, later trailing by 31 points, and eventually yanking their starters at around the 25-minute threshold. The only positives to take away from the game, for...
Bucks Owner Marc Lasry Breathes Fresh Life Into The Steph-For-Bogut What-If Scenario
Back in 2016, then-San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami debunked a persistent rumor that the Warriors were once set to trade 23-year-old Stephen Curry for Bucks center Andrew Bogut, before the Bucks pulled the plug over concerns about Curry’s balky ankle. As Kawakami laid out at the time, th...
They Blew Up The Bradley Center
The Bradley Center, home to the Milwaukee Bucks for 30 years, as well as Marquette hoops and the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals, was partially imploded Sunday morning, as workers detonated charges to bring down the roof. It wasn’t a full demolition, as the arena is too close to nearby buildings (including...
Report: Tathan Is In The Transfer Portal
Ohio State quarterback Tathan “Tate” Martell has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. A photo of a computer screen circulated on Twitter with the Buckeyes backup’s full name highlighted, and the information was confirmed by Lettermen Row’s Jeremy Birmingham....
Cody Rhodes, The Khans, And Chris Jericho Made Their New Promotion Official, And It Could Be Big
The news officially arrived through a pair of statements, a rally outside TIAA Bank Field, and a subsequent press junket, but the Jacksonville Jaguars owners Shahid “Shad” Khan and his son Tony made their bold new foray into the pro wrestling business official on Tuesday. The name of the new promot...
The Bucks Just Provided The League With A Blueprint On Stopping James Harden And The Rockets
Like with any of the NBA’s elite players, teams can often extrapolate victories from limiting the damage a player is capable of doing in lieu of expecting to stop them entirely. This was the case in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 116-109 victory against the Rockets on Wednesday night. Not only was the team ab...
New Ohio State Coach Ryan Day Has Already Poached A Pair Of Michigan Coaches
Today marks the end of Ryan Day’s first week as Ohio State’s head coach, a position he inherited after Urban Meyer slunk off following the Buckeyes’ Rose Bowl win. Day will face a tough task as he takes over for a man who had single-digit losses in his seven seasons. (Hopefully he does not imitate M...
Brook "Splash Mountain" Lopez Can Now Put A Game Away From 28 Feet
As the NBA shifts almost unilaterally towards a threes-and-layups utopia, scores of big men trained in the old ways have been left behind, collecting dust as relics of an era where low-post scoring was actually worth pursuing. Roy Hibbert, Zach Randolph, Greg Monroe... these dinosaurs have either be...
