Even though it has been a bad year for Milwaukee thus far, Mitch Pratt and Charlie Tritschler will provide you with a bi-weekly update on the Bucks ranging from recaps, links and other neat stuff.
Hot Recap Takes
Saturday: Rockets 114 Bucks 104 - I probably sound like a broken record here, but I keep talking about how big men tear up the Bucks despite all their size. Bucks hoped things might change with Larry Sanders back in the fold. It has not. Terrence Jones had 36 points and 11 rebounds. Not Dwight Howard, but Jones had a breakout game in his second year with a monster first half where he had 25 points. Houston also had 20 plus effort from Dwight Howard and James Harden which was all they really needed to win this game. Bucks had cut the lead to six in the third quarter, but Rockets dashed their dreams going on run combined with some Bucks turnovers giving Houston a 16-point lead putting Milwaukee to bed. The defensive effort was not all there, but John Henson had a big game with 20 points and 15 rebounds. Brandon Knight played in control with 26 points on only 16 shots. Khris Middleton did not have a great day going three of nine missing all four of his threes only resulting in eight points. Sunday: Spurs 110 Bucks 82 - Milwaukee did not stand a chance in this one. They were completely beaten down in this one. It was one of those games where you say 'Hey maybe San Antonio is napping in this one and the Bucks can steal this one.' NOPE. Milwaukee trailed 29-16 at the end of the first quarter, and it was all downhill from there. San Antonio had seven players in double figures with Patty Mills of all people leading the charge with 20 points. Mills has only 20- point efforts in three games in the last two years so there is that. Milwaukee gave Gary Neal a chance after Luke Rindour went out with a wrist injury and he failed to step up to the occasion going 1/8 in a horrendous effort. Speaking of bad effort, O.J. Mayo did not even register a point in 19 minutes of play. The only Buck player whom did decently on Sunday night was Larry Sanders with 10 points and seven rebounds.
This is a fun fan fiction of Giannis Anteokounmpo meaning that we are at 15 straight Buck Buzz's with at least one Giannis mention. Gotta keep the streak alive.
What to watch
I want to know if someone gets on the move this week. Caron Butler and Neal seem like they are having a bad time regarding both their negative comments in public in the last couple of weeks. Milwaukee is waiting for some team to get desperate but I just feel like the longer these guys are on the team the worst they are making things.
Upcoming schedule
Couple days off for Milwaukee after a week featuring four games in seven days. They take on Detroit at home Wednesday night.
Charlie.
