“I don’t know, Nate, can’t we try something else? I don’t like the looks of this establishment.” The two Bucks rookies stood outside of the Refuge Smoothie Cafe in Milwaukee. “What’s wrong Giannis, it’s just a smoothie place. You’ve had smoothies before, right? It’ll be fine. Come on.” Nate Wolters pushed his reluctant teammate Giannis…

Nate Wolters 14 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2014)
Nate Wolters is currently one of the worst three point shooters in the league, currently sitting at a mere 18 percent. This puts him in company with such non-marksmen as Tyreke Evans and Tobias Harris (wasn’t he supposed to be good?), and is way worse than Josh Smith who is commonly regarded as the worst…
Read MoreJohn Henson 16 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
At what point do we start becoming concerned that John Henson seemingly can’t do anything with his right hand? Why does he even bother doing that shoulder shake thing if everyone knows that he’s just going to go lefty every time? It’s like he worked so hard on developing his off-hand that his dominant hand…
Read MoreNate Wolters Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
There are no bright spots on the Milwaukee Bucks season. There are merely spots where the all-encompassing blackness is, perhaps, slightly less omnipresent. Nate Wolters is one of those spots. He’s been playing pretty good for a rookie. Forget about the fact that he’s actually older than Brandon Knight (who is already considered a crappy…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 25 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
Khris Middleton has been something of a revelation for the Bucks. He was an unknown coming into the season (because who watches the Pistons or the Bucks), but he has shown very good shooting skills. His shot is a little flat, well actually a lot flat, but if he has his feet set and his…
Read MoreLarry Sanders Career High 25 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/5/2014)
Larry Sanders sat dutifully in his seat during Ms. DeJong’s 7th grade social studies class. They had just completed the unit on the history of Mesopotamia, and were now moving on to world geography. The large roll-down world map was hanging in front of the blackboard. The school-district had had an unexpected budget surplus; one…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 19 Points/5 Threes/3 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2014)
Khris dreamt. In this dream, he was being carried by a friendly giant, carried to a beautiful land far away from the cold failures of Milwaukee. The giant looked down at him and smiled; at that moment, Khris felt a surge of happiness swell in his heart, the kind of perfect emotion that only could…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 25 Points/7 Assists/1 Game Winner Full Highlights (2/3/2014)
That was a ballsy shot. Game tied at 98. Brandon Knight walks it up the floor. Why hurry? Pachulia wants to set a screen up top. Knight waves him off. Why? Because he’s got one of the worst and laziest defenders in the league in Raymond Felton on him. Brandon waits until there are only…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 15 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2014)
It was a perfect story: Giannis’ family fresh off the plane from Greece watching their son play for the first time, and watching him dominate the lackluster Knicks D for a rare Bucks win. Giannis himself has elevated himself from Athenian poverty to become a rising NBA star. It almost makes you want to cry….
Read MoreBrandon Knight 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2014)
Brandon Knight is not exactly popular with Bucks fans, who view him as a shooting guard shoehorned into a PG role that he cannot fill. Pistons fans also came to this conclusion after two years of watching Knight try (and fail) to run their offense. But what did they have to say when he was…
