You can tell the Warriors don’t play the Bucks very often, because their commentary crew is still speaking about Giannis Antetokounmpo with the reverent tone that was used for him last year. “Oh, he’s so LONG!”. “They say he’s 6’10”, but he’s GROWN!”. “He’s only TWENTY!” Yawn. Give me some real hot takes. Like “The…

Ersan Ilyasova 21 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)
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…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 19 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is mixing it up a bit, as we get later in the season. Opposing defenses have figured out his old move, the “take a couple dribbles at the top of the key then drive no matter what the situation is”. He used to sometimes get by players with that move; now he usually…
Read MoreJohn Henson 21 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2015)
You might expect John Henson to step into the role the Bucks have been grooming him for, now that Larry Sanders has chosen Kush over basketball. Not unreasonable to think that he could elevate his play and become the Bucks’ starting center of the future. It is not to be. Zaza Pachulia is not the…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/22/2015)
Giannis examined the obsidian door closely, searching for a way to go past it, to open it, to somehow reach the secrets held behind it. Running his slender fingers delicately across the finely-detailed engravings, he looked back in his memory for any hints that might have been given to him. However, there was nothing. The…
Read MoreJorge Gutierrez Career High 13 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
I don’t know…should I put “Career High” in the title or nah? It’s hard to say if Gutti Mane has a future with the Bucks, and if he doesn’t make it with them, there’s no guarantee that another team gives him a chance. Since he’s 26, he’s not really an “upside” guy anymore, so the…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 12 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/2/2015)
Is it just me, or is Giannis Antetokounmpo trying to justify his entrance into the dunk contest by upping the amount of dunks he does in game? Or is it his teammates trying to set him for more opportunities for the same reason? He knows that there are some fans who think that he doesn’t…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2015)
I was really looking forward to being able to write “Career High” in the title of this video. Khris Middleton with 25 at the end of the third quarter combined with a rash of injuries/suspensions/ejections meant that he was sure to get the minutes and shots to eclipse the 30-point mark. Little did I know…
Read MoreJohn Henson 14 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/31/2015)
I am in mourning. Nothing can console me, for I am far too deep in the waters of sorrow. John Henson’s post game was once so full of life; now it rests six feet under, its vitality taken by the cruel hand of Jason Kidd and his ruthless coaching staff. We must now be content…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 16 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2015)
At first glance, this doesn’t seem like an especially productive game for Brandon Knight. He’s had tons of games scoring more than this, though not as many with more assists. There are surely much more worthy performances that he’s had this season, performances where I didn’t make highlights despite this being a halfway-themed Bucks channel….
