Don’t trust Ringer articles on “Giannis,” meant only to sow discord in Bucks politics, like the Russians

September 9, 2020 Rick Solem

Heading into Game 5 between the Milwaukee Bucks-Miami Heat, the Ringer published an article on how Giannis Antetokounmpo needs to demand more of the organization or force his way out. Since it was published, the Bucks were eliminated from the playoffs — and we’ll get to Antetokounmpo’s comments toward the end — but let’s take […]

Bucks future hanging in the balance

September 8, 2020 Dave Carney

Uh-oh, I think I’ve seen this movie before. Hope, optimism, faded, with the twist of an ankle and a ‘simple twist of fate.’ On Sunday, Giannis Antetokounmpo sprained his ankle in Game 4 against the Miami Heat. In 11 minutes, he scored 19 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Eleven minutes of a game, in […]

“You reach, I teach” – MJ vs MJ

September 8, 2020 Dave Carney

Dave Carney 9/8/2020 In Michael Jordan’s REAL final season (with the Wizards) he served up some truly fine performances. For those who weren’t around, or can’t recall just how good a near 40 year old Mike was, YouTube that stuff son! It wasn’t his performance on the actual court that stole the show in MJ’s […]

Should the Bucks even risk playing Antetokounmpo?

September 8, 2020 Rick Solem

It’ll likely be a game-time decision Tuesday, whether reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will suit up and help keep the Milwaukee Bucks’ season alive. The worry for the Bucks, at this point, may not be so much if the team can pull off somewhat of a miracle and come back against the Miami Heat, down 3-1. […]

Remembering Kobe…my way

August 26, 2020 Dave Carney

Dave Carney 8/26/2020 I was born in 1980 September, just about 2 years after Kobe Bean Bryant was born. Kobe was born to an NBA basketball player, I was born to a water department worker, his dad playing in Philly for the Sixers, my dad living in Los Angeles, a Lakers fan. When Kobe was […]

WATCH: In nicest way, Giannis says he understands one word from Shaq, congratulating him in Greek on DPOY

August 26, 2020 Rick Solem

Shaquille O’Neal attempted to congratulate Milwaukee Bucks forward for winning the Defensive Player of the Year award on Tuesday. It didn’t go well. Or it went perfectly well, depending on how one takes the antics of Inside the NBA on TNT. It was better than his message to Yao Ming a few years ago, which […]

Lakers, Bucks look to clinch second-round berths Wednesday

August 25, 2020 Associated Press

It was only a week ago when the sky was falling on the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA’s two best teams in the regular season, the top seeds in their respective conferences, both lost their playoff openers and looked vulnerable. Not so much now. Order has been emphatically restored, the Bucks and […]

Matt Thomas steals the show at the NBA Summer League

August 24, 2020 Dave Carney

Dave Carney 8/24/2020 All the hype heading into the 2017-2018 season was for the Lakers number 2 overall pick Lonzo Ball. In the NBA Summer League 27th pick Kyle Kuzma also impressed. But it was UNDRAFTED rookie free-agent and Onalaska Hilltopper star Matt Thomas who stole the show with a dazzling shooting display in the […]

Bizarro world?

August 18, 2020 Dave Carney

Aha! Now I see what’s going on. After seriously struggling with our recent events in the world, and here in Wisconsin with our sports teams, I completely understand what happened. It was March of this year. Nobody knew it but we actually misunderstood the Mayan Calendar; it changed over and the “world as we knew […]

Bucks beat Wizards 126-113 despite Antetokounmpo ejection

August 12, 2020 Associated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo was fed up with the pushing and shoving. The normally mild-mannered Bucks star lost his cool Tuesday night and was ejected in the second quarter of Milwaukee’s 126-113 win over the Washington Wizards after he headbutted Moritz Wagner. Wagner took a charge from Antetokounmpo, who didn’t like […]
