Milwaukee Bucks Thread

Great write-up, CKR! I liked that a lot. Thanks for reminding us.

Oscar Robertson was great. In my opinion, he is one of the best basketball players of all time...up there with Schmidt, Sabonis, Kareem and a few others. An absolute magician with a great cunning mind for the game.

This is how ...

This is how the Bucks should get it done: their usual D and let the offense revolve around Bogut & Jennings.

They are a good/ excellent defensive team (which is the reason why even though they have struggled offensively, they are still in the playoff hunt) and thus, they (The Bucks) just have to improve their offense.

Tonight, the Bucks should that they can mix it with teams like the Knicks and teams in the East should still "Fear the Deer".

Hopefully, the Bucks can make the playoffs and if not, I still think that they had an above average season as they had been depleted with so many injuries.

GO BUCKS! GO BOGUT!

Extreamly disappointing season for the Bucks. I was expecting much more!

Drew Gooden filled a huge void on the center with a Triple Double game of 15 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists despite fouling out of the game. Gooden also had 2 blocks.

John Salmons scored a team high 32 points.

Bucks interested in Alec Burks

The Journal Sentinel reports that the Milwaukee Bucks are interested in drafting Colorado's Alec Burks, who plays the two guard and lead the Big 12 Conference in scoring last NCAA season.

Burks could fill in the role of star Michael Redd, who might not be able to return to form and will be a unrestricted free agent in July.

Bucks on the Draft

My personal choice for the Milwaukee Bucks on the upcoming draft are Alec Burks or Marcus Morris. Both players are still available when Milwaukee is on the clock at #10.

Burks will give the Bucks a real good option at shooting guard on which was the void the Bucks have been reeling since Michael Redd had suffered with knee injuries. Redd is to be a unrestricted free agent this summer and if the Bucks choose to let Redd walk away, they may have a good product in Burks.

While Morris will add depth on the Bucks frontcourt and essentially, a frontcourt mate with Andrew Bogut.

The following will be free agents for the Bucks this off-season:

Restricted Free Agents
Chris Douglas-Roberts
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

Unrestricted Free Agents
Earl Boykins
Michael Redd
