LATEST STORIES FROM THE BRATWURST
It was a block. The call was correct.
In order to take a charge, Bogut has to establish position — think of him turning himself into a column that “owns” the vertical space from the floor to the ceiling. In order to commit a charge, the offensive player must head-on violate that space that the defensive player has now claimed as his [...]

Is the NBA Rigged Against Milwaukee?
The Lakers just finished off the Bucks on a last second shot by Kobe Bryant in overtime, and as one could predict, the Bucks hashtag on Twitter is a alive with allegations at the NBA is rigged, or at least Bryant is heavily favored. The call the anger is centered around is a blocking foul [...]

Five Reasons to Be Excited Michael Redd is Back
Michael Redd, formerly the biggest star on the Milwaukee Bucks before some kid from Compton showed up, is finally back on the court. It’s been quite the journey with Redd the past three years, watching him be limited by injuries to an average of 52 games each of the past three years. Hopefully, for his [...]

Squad 6 Singing and Dancing to Seven Nation Army
Squad 6, Andrew Bogut’s super-duper awesome cheering section, is easily the most exciting thing at the Bradley Center this year not wearing a jersey. Most of us will never get the chance to cheer amongst the “soldiers” (as they’re calling themselves), but hopefully you’re cheering with them. Thankfully one of them took a video to [...]

Introducing the NBA Clothing Spotlight: Zombie Sonics Edition
All too often I encounter NBA-related clothing on the internet, frequently in the style of t-shirts. It’s time to give that clothing its due and spotlight it. Here’s the first of what hopefully will be many t-shirts you will almost consider buying.
Zombie Sonics
Remember the Seattle Supersonics? That team that used to feature the Glove and [...]

Washington Dumps Milwaukee, Jennings Mocks Alexander
Despite meeting the President yesterday, something which Jodie Meeks was quite excited about, the Bucks were downed by the Washington Wizards in the closing seconds of the game.
More amusing though was Brandon Jennings mocking Joe Alexander on Twitter this morning. It has to be tough not to be Joe right now, when you know you [...]

Squad 6 Turning Some Heads
With the exception of Brandon Jennings and the return of Andrew Bogut, Bogut’s Squad 6 has been the best addition to the Milwaukee Bucks this year. A loud, unruly group of fans that come out to each and every home game to turn the Bradley Center into a much more enjoyable place to watch basketball. [...]

Sessions to Minnesota
ESPN is reporting that Ramon Sessions has agreed to a 4 year, $16 million deal with Minnesota, a deal that the Bucks are almost certain not to match as it would put them over the luxury tax this year.
It’s tough for the Bucks to lose Sessions, but I’m not altogether unconvinced that it wasn’t part [...]

Ramon Sessions is About to Get Paid — And I Question John Hammond’s Methods
According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Knicks are putting together an offer sheet for Ramon Sessions that will be structured in such a way to make it unlikely that the Bucks will match it.
The most the Knicks can offer Sessions in the first year of his contract would be equal to the midlevel exception, meaning [...]

Malik Allen traded for whatever’s behind Door #3
The Malik Allen deal makes some sense in that the Bucks save some money. They certainly couldn’t have found some more interesting guys to pick up in the deal.
The Bucks got Sonny Weems and Walter Sharpe in the deal. Weems will likely get bought out — his contract only has $175,000 guaranteed. Weems is a [...]

Bucks trade Charlie Villanueva for Amir Johnson
ESPN is reporting that Charlie Villanueva will sign a 5 year, $40 million deal with Detroit.
Honestly, I don’t see that working out so well for the Pistons. It might not do much for the Bucks either, but that’s another story.
I just don’t see Villanueva as that valuable a player for a team that needs him [...]

Why Charlie V Had To Go
It wasn’t the luxury tax.
The Bucks could have offered a qualifying offer to Villanueva for about $4.5 million this year — a 1 year deal that would have allowed him to be a restricted free agent this year or made him a free agent next year. However, instead they let him walk now. Why?
As a [...]

The Brandon Jennings Circus Begins
Brandon Jennings has delivered his first gem to the Milwaukee media. Talking to rapper Joe Budden, Jennings delivered exactly what he has managed to avoid during the past year in Italy, a profanity-laced tirade directed at teammates and opposing players.
To be fair, I think there is a good chance Jennings didn’t know he was on [...]

Bye Bye RJ, We hardly Knew Ya …. Draft Time Now!
Hi everybody! If there’s anyone left to say hi to, since I haven’t written anything in several months, then I really appreciate your coming around. I wanted to chime in with a few thoughts about the Jefferson trade and the NBA Draft.
The Jefferson trade salary dump was the sort of thing the Bucks were going [...]

NBA on Twitter
If you’re on Twitter and reading this site, undoubtedly you’re probably interested in who else in the NBA might be on Twitter.
We’ve attempted to put all of those accounts for you in one place, NBAonTwitter.com. Use it, abuse it, and share it with your friends, we would really appreciate it.

No deals at the deadline … and now this?
Forget the no-trade of Richard Jefferson, or the injuries to Andrew Bogut, Michael Redd and Luke Ridnour — now Bango managed to ruin his knee by falling through the hoop at an All-Star Weekend event?
This is getting ridiculous! I’m almost scared to go to the game tomorrow now, lest the team try to kill [...]

Jefferson to be moved out today?
ESPN is reporting that the Bucks have a couple of deals in the works to try and dump the salary of Richard Jefferson.
The two potential deals, they report, are Jefferson to Cleveland for Wally Sczcerbiak or to Portland for Raef LaFrentz.
Both of these deals are outright salary dumps, with Sczcerbiak having an expiring $13 million [...]

Oh Man, What Now?
First of all, I want to thank all of the commentors who have given me crap for not writing much any more. Between work and having two young kids, I don’t have the time to write any more. It’s not so much the writing that is time-consuming — last year I only had one [...]

Larry Harris: Still screwing the Bucks
A couple of stories floating around the newswires this weekend suggest that the Bucks may be on the verge of making a trade, with the Boston Globe saying that other teams have shown interest in Charlie Villanueva and Ramon Sessions, with the Memphis Commercial Appeal saying that the Bucks have talked with the Grizzlies about [...]
