https://youtu.be/ogx65J9yQM0 The Bucks are NBA champions and it’s making me feel feels that I don’t quite know how to process. I assume the pain coming from my chest and radiating down my arms is typical of the championship experience and not just a heart attack in progress. Anyway, to celebrate this occasion, I will give…

Bobby Portis 22 Points Full Highlights (7/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/XhZKhmWWRFk Bobby “Crazy Eyes” Portis was a DNP-CD in the final three games of the Bucks’ second-round series against the Nets. At the time I was befuddled by the decision to sit him, but, given the benefit of hindsight, I’m still a bit befuddled but not as befuddled as I was before. He had scored…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 33 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (7/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/EqHwlmZ1FzM “Gosh darn it, I must have set the dials wrong on this stupid thing,” you mutter to yourself as you step out from your time machine to find that you have arrived in a time and place where NBA player Brook Lopez has just scored 33 points. Scrutinizing the arcane control panel, the configuration…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 22 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (5/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/iIdptOM4IxM I’m sure everybody has already seen this fun statistical tidbit, but I’m sharing it with you anyway because I was so tickled by it: Jimmy Butler scored 58 points in this series. Bryn Forbes scored 60. I am deriving an unreasonable amount of joy from this. Bryn Forbes is just a role-player. Jimmy Butler,…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 25 Points Full Highlights (5/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/4ML_u4o5jKk For some reason, while watching this game, I was getting the impression that Brook Lopez was playing poorly. There were a number of occasions where his lumbering around in the paint, trying to set up his shot rather than just putting it up, caused him to lose the ball. He also picked up his…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 22 Points Full Highlights (5/24/2021)
https://youtu.be/auoC3fiULYg I am of such weak mental constitution that I’m almost too anxious to watch Bucks playoff games. Especially when it seems like they’re overmatched. Last season, I barely watched any of their 1-4 series loss to the Heat, and my mental health was better off for it. I didn’t need Jae Crowder ruining my…
Read MoreElijah Bryant 16 Points Bucks Debut Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/SEo2Vs1L9ns When a player by the name of Elijah Bryant showed up in the box-score, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who shouted “Who the frick is that?” while comically tossing my glass of soda pop over my shoulder in surprise. It’s fine, I should probably drink less soda anyway. But the question remains,…
Read MoreJordan Nwora Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/lR787ubADbg Jordan Nwora has looked good enough this season that I’ve begun to question the Bucks’ coaching staff’s collective wisdom on the decision to barely play him. Note that my doubt of Coach Bud and his cronies on this subject has been festering for some time, and I’m not just instinctively reacting to the fact…
Read MoreBryn Forbes Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/LyN1McmHaYE Bryn Forbes was walking down a seemingly infinite hall. The passage of time was marked only by his footsteps, and his only indications of forward progress were the occasional fountain on the floor or a bench along the wall that he walked past. But no matter how far he walked, he never reached an…
Read MoreBobby Portis 23 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2021)
https://youtu.be/M5GYO3fl7b0 The Bucks showed a graphic during the telecast which alleged that Bobby Portis was fifth in the league in three-point percentage. Maybe I’m just not as good a fan as I used to be, because I didn’t realize that Portis was close to the league leaderboard for 3P% at all. I knew he was…
