Is Larry Sanders a candidate for MIP? Definitely. He’s transformed from being a foul-prone elite defensive player who can’t really shoot and doesn’t get any minutes into a foul-prone elite defensive player who can’t really shoot and gets a bunch of minutes. That seems to be the only requirement to win it, just play the…

Brandon Jennings 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2013)
Bucks fans are currently experiencing the benefits if what’s called a “contract year push”, courtesy of Brandon Jennings. He’s realized that if he wants to get paid big bucks (hehe), that he has to becoming a better distributor while also scoring somewhat efficiently.

Read MoreSamuel Dalembert 16 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2013)
After several games with a DNP-CD, Samuel Dalembert was rewarded for his patience a spot in the starting lineup. There’s a reason he doesn’t get to play very often.

Ersan Ilyasova has rebounded (heh) very well from a poor start to he season. His work on the glass and smooth outside shot are much appreciated on the Bucks. Against the Raptors he scored 29 points, as well as a game-winning tip-in with 7 seconds left. Or, it would have been the game winner if…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 11 Points/Career High 19 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2013)
This game calls into question everything I thought I knew about Brandon Jennings. He’s supposed to be a low-intelligence chucker with bad court vision and average playmaking ability. A skinny guy with little in the way of traditional point guard skills who once made a video of himself dancing to a Lady Gaga song. But…
