The Milwaukee Bucks were jubilant. They had just beaten the Heat on a last-second miracle the previous night, and their flight out of Miami wasn’t until the evening, meaning they had a whole day to enjoy the finest South Beach had to offer. —————————————-——————— “Hey Ers! Me and some of the guys are heading to…

Ersan Ilyasova 19 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2015)
I live in constant fear of Ersan Ilyasova leaving the Bucks. There are no contingency plans in place for dealing with a post-Ilyasova future. Who would be my next mascot? Would I even have a mascot? Would I, in the throes of despair and misery, simply delete my whole channel and all videos contained therein?…

Every year at the trade deadline I expect to see Ersan Ilyasova moved. He may not be what he once was, but to a maybe-less-informed GM he could be intriguing, as a big man who can theoretically shoot threes. Theoretically. I’m trying to decide which is the aberration: Ilyasova shooting a combined 45% from three…

Ersan Ilyasova is doing Ilyasova things so far this season. Namely, starting off really badly and then improving as the season goes along. Does this dude just not work out at all during the summer? He didn’t even have the “Gotta play for my national team, Egemenlik, kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir” excuse this year. Anyway, his…

For being the physical manifestation of my YouTube channel, Ersan Ilyasova hasn’t been playing very well at all. I chose this avatar when he was coming off a strong season where he was second in voting for Most Improved. He was good that year, but I think the toll of having his soul slowly siphoned…

I entered the gymnasium with confidence, trying to appear as if I belonged there. The hustle and bustle of Bucks Media Day was the perfect cover for my devious plot. “Excuse me, Mr. Ilyasova, could I speak to you a moment?” I asked, grabbing Ersan’s arm. “It will really only take a second.” Ersan glanced…

Ersan Ilyasova’s struggles this season have been well-documented, so I won’t go too in-depth about them. I’ll just say that compared to last year, he’s taking way more crappy step-back and sidestep jumpers. He might have made 5 of those in total all year. Until tonight, that is, when he added 2 more of them,…

So apparently Ersan Ilyasova wanted to be traded before the deadline. That didn’t happen, obviously, because here he is, still in Milwaukee. I get where he’s coming from though. He doesn’t want to waste his prime years on a team that’s rebuilding. Totally understandable. But at the same team you don’t really get to request…

What’s wrong with Ersan Ilyasova? He can’t shoot. He can’t rebound. Those are both things he was able to do at a high level previously. So what the heck is going on? In spite of the Bucks’ offensive woes, Ilyasova is still getting a decent amount of open jumpers. But he’s started doing a little…

Brandon Knight walked serenely through the snow-covered fields of southeastern Wisconsin. What better way to spend an off day than in rural, idyllic beauty? No hangers-on to bother him out here. Just him and nature. “Help me! Help me!” Brandon Knight snapped out of his reverie at the sound of someone yelling. Curious, he walked…
