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 TakesThursday: Pacers 101 Bucks 96 - Remember how in the last game between these two teams I said it was encouraging how Roy Hibbert did not go off for a bevy points? Yeaaah that did not happen with this one as Hibbert had 24 points, 12 rebounds and a couple blocks being the difference for Indiana in this one. Paul George had another good night at the office with 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists with a +17 PER. But what was encouraging is the Bucks fought again in this one playing competitive once again. Brandon Knight had a nice night at the office with 23 points on 10/20 shooting with five assists. Khris Middleton was also strong in this game with 22 points on 9/15 shooting. One of the first real ugly nights from Zaza Pachuila as he got dominated by Hibbert defensively as well missed seven shots. You don't want that from Mr. Zaza.
Saturday: Nets 107 Bucks 98 - Another competitive loss for Milwaukee where they got beat by Brooklyn's bench more so than anything else. Marcus Thornton is a Bucks killer. I swear he always go off when playing the Bucks. Thornton had 25 points making four threes on only 13 shots. The inexcusable stat line of the night is Andray Blatche having a 19 points and 13 rebounds off the bench. I mean I know Dre been good for Brooklyn but I would never expect that from him. Ramon Sessions continues his good start in his Milwaukee revival as he had 16 points with most of them coming from the free throw line. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a nice night with 12 points, three rebounds, assists and steals. Gianni just knows how to fill up the box score. Jeff Adrien deserves some dap for pulling down 10 rebounds, but honestly, someone needs to stop the interior scoring, please someone.
Why exactly did Colin Cowherd delete his Bucks tweet?
This is not one of the more popular ESPN personalities, and he likes to do things to piss people off. He had this tweet about the Bucks.. "Ever watched a Bucks regular season game for a few minutes and wondered..am I the only person in America currently doing this?" Honestly, I find it kind of funny and in no way disrespectful. But obviously some people were mad, and then Colin deleted the tweet. Then he went full heel towards Bucks fans and sent out this one with a classic Bucks reply.
@ESPN_Colin yeah, that accidental delete button gets us every time.
— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) March 3, 2014Look to be mad about Cowherd's tweet is stupid. We know there are Bucks fans, and there is a loyal base just not a casual base. It was a simple attempt to rile up people and so many simpletons took the bait with complete ease. National media outside of the NBA diehards do not pay attention to the Bucks. Simple as that.

Another week of #ALLGIANNISEVERYTHING where he kicked a soccer ball and won a fan a scooter which is awesome. Like that the city is moving him around to different places. I have to assume he will be at at a Brewers game or two. .
This is about how Giannis will not be the only Antetokounmpo in the league as Kostos is considered to be one of the best for 2016 and Thanasis Antetokounmpo will be drafted likely nice year.
What to watch
Sessions and Adrien are playing great for Milwaukee so far. I would have expected them to mail it in and they have done the complete opposite. I look forward to seeing how they do against two weaker teams in the NBA.
Upcoming schedule
Major week for the tank as Bucks host both Utah and Sacramento this week in two very winnable games. Could this be the chance for the first winning streak of the season?
Charlie.
