I’ve said before that I think I enjoyed the Bucks more when they really sucked, when all their players sucked, and when every win was an occasion to be wildly celebrated instead of accepted as the norm. I don’t know what I was thinking when I said that, because losing SUCKS. And what sucks even…

Brook Lopez 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/10/2020)
I’ve implied it before, but I’ve done some hard calculations using the arcane branch of learning called “math” and I’ve finally put a real number to it. If Brook Lopez can return to his form from last year, the chances of the Bucks winning the championship rise from 97 percent to 99 percent. I’ve double…

To put into perspective how much Brook Lopez’s three-point shooting has fallen off a cliff (I still love him though), here’s a stat for your edification: Amount of times that Brook Lopez hit five or more three-pointers in a single game last season: 9. Amount of times that Brook Lopez hit five or more three-pointers…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 17 Points/9 Blocks Full Highlights (2/2/2020)
It’s unfortunate that Brook Lopez’s three-point percentage has tanked to sub-30% this season. It’s like the one thing that’s going wrong for the Bucks this season (well, there’s also the fact that Wes Matthews is completely washed). As it stands, Lopez still has enough gravity at the three-point line to force players to defend him,…

Brook Lopez’ emergence into a high-volume three-point-launching trebuchet, raining projectiles with length and precision onto the craniums of his foes, was one of the more fun storylines of last season. But With his shooting percentage from behind the arc taking a fairly dramatic plunge so far this year, I can feel safe in suggesting that…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 14 Points/7 Blocks Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
Brook Lopez has been disappointing from the threezone this season. His sub-30% shooting from deep has turned him into an inefficient overall scorer. When defenses stop bothering to contest his three-point attempts, his benefit on that side of the ball will be all but negated until he goes back to his bread and butter, which…

It’s no secret that Brook Lopez has regressed to start the new 2019-20 NBA season which isn’t even that new anymore (we’re like 1/6th of the way done already, damn). After shooting 36% on three-pointers last season, he’s shooting a cool 28% on them this season. Bucks fans can take solace in the fact that,…

Inside the elevator, Brook found that there were a lot of floors to choose from. While he tried to decide which one to go to, Amelia read the nearby directory. “General Manager’s office is on floor five,” she said. “Maybe they can tell us what the hell is going on.” Feeling that this plan was…

The city was dark and gloomy, almost unnaturally so. Walking aimlessly from one street to the next, Brook Lopez had stopped looking at the buildings he was passing. Each of the towering steel edifices was lacking any identifying information at all. Instead, they all gave off a general aura of malevolence, as if some inhuman…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 29 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (5/15/2019)
I’ve always said that Brook Lopez is underutilized in Milwaukee. People who claim that he’s “playing the best basketball of his career” are getting swept up in the excitement of him jacking threes from just inside half-court. The more accurate statement is “he’s playing on the best team of his career”. It’s understandable, though. Not…
