The Milwaukee Bucks this week fired head coach Adrian Griffin after a 30-13 record and replaced him with veteran coach Doc Rivers. Despite their solid record, there were issues with the Bucks visible to those who have been playing close attention. Now Bill Simmons, on the latest edition of his podcast, is suggesting that Bucks […]

A 30-13 record is not reflective of who the Milwaukee Bucks really are. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are superstar talents; there is no denying that. Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton, and Bobby Portis are all championship players. However, dysfunction, inconsistent play, and no continuity is an accurate way to describe what the Bucks have looked […]

At 30-13 on the season, the Milwaukee Bucks shocked many around the league on Tuesday when they decided to part ways with first-year head coach Adrian Griffin.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s hands-on role in the Milwaukee Bucks’ choosing Mike Budenholzer’s successor was hardly a secret.

[…]

The Milwaukee Bucks recently decided to part ways with head coach Adrian Griffin. Since the arrival of superstar Damian Lillard the Bucks have had success, but it was clear that the team wasn’t clicking on both ends. It took time for Lillard to get accustomed to the system that Griffin ran, but the Bucks believed […]

Khris Middleton became the third all-time leading scorer of the Milwaukee Bucks during his 26-point effort in the 122-113 win over the Detroit Pistons last night, and Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously declared that the reason he was able to pull it off was because he listened to his mother’s new song. “My mom has a new […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is now probable to play against the Detroit Pistons in their road clash on Saturday, per the NBA’s injury report.

But, the dying seconds of the game loomed over and everyone in Fiserv Forum knew that the ball was […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown fills numerous roles for his talented team. He’s their rim destroyer, the longest-tenured Celtic, and a vocal leader who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. However, what doesn’t seem to be talked about enough is that Brown is the ultimate tone-setter for the C’s. While Boston’s 2023-24 roster has plenty […]

Another week of fan voting for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game has concluded.

The San Antonio Spurs handily took care of business against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, and it’s thanks in large part to the elite play of prized rookie Victor Wembanyama.

Morant underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum after he suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder during […]

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a 112-108 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday, and Giannis Antetokounmpo went on a bit of a rant after his team dropped to 25-11 on the season, and the Bucks equipment manager caught a bit of a stray in the comments. “We have to be better,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said, via […]

After the Milwaukee Bucks suffered a disappointing loss to the Houston Rockets Saturday night, star Giannis Antetokounmpo was frustrated with the team, himself, and how they played on the defensive side of the ball.

Victor Wembanyama was blood-hungry for a birthday win against the Milwaukee Bucks. The San Antonio Spurs rookie got a green light for his special day from Gregg Popovich and did not disappoint.

As we hit the Christmas Day checkpoint in the NBA, Joel Embiid continues to sit at the very top of the NBA MVP rankings, and for good reason.
