The Milwaukee Bucks played Tuesday night without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but held off the Los Angeles Lakers 115-101 at Fiserv Forum.  It helped that the Lakers played without their star, Lebron James.

Stepping up without Giannis, Khris Middleton led the way with 30 points.  Brook Lopez added a season high 28 and Nikola Mirotic added 23 points as the three front-line starters combined for 81 of the Bucks 115 points.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope poured in 35 for the Lakers.  21 of the 35 came in the second quarter.

The Bucks didn’t play well with the lead in the win.  They went up 23 points in the third quarter, only to see the Lakers go on a 16-0 run at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth. [Read more…]

Ilyasova has surgery on broken nose

December 21, 2018 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a fractured nose, which he sustained during practice on Dec. 16.  The surgery was performed by Dr. Sachin Pawar of the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin health network under the supervision of Bucks team physician Dr. William Raasch.

Ilyasova will remain out and his status will be updated as appropriate.

In 24 games (two starts) for the Bucks this season, Ilyasova is averaging 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.9 minutes per game while shooting 43.0 percent from the field.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo in the teams concussion protocol, the Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the Toronto Raptors 124-109 in a battle of the league’s final two unbeaten at Fiserv Forum on Monday night.

Ersan Ilyasova led the way with 19 points and 10 rebounds, one of seven Bucks to score in double figures on the night.

Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon added 17 points apiece.  Khris Middleton, after a slow start, finished with 14 points and Donte DiVincenzo added a dozen and the Bucks tied their franchise record with 19 triples (19 of 45) for the game.  Thon Makers minutes increased with Antetokounmpo sidelined.  He finished with 11 points.

“I think we’ve got really good players,” Coach Mike Budenholzer said.  “The roster here was in a great place.  Great additions with Brook (Lopez) and Ersan that really are great players.  You just kind of build it around those guys.  Giannis, Khris, Eric, you go up and down, Malcolm, the players are always the key.  Anyone that thinks something different is crazy.”

The Bucks are off until Thursday night when they put their 7-0 record up against the Celtics in Boston.

Bucks hang on for season opening win

October 18, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks jumped out to a big lead in the first half, then went cold in the second half but managed to pull out a 113-112 win over the Charlotte Hornets in the regular season opener in Charlotte.

The Bucks led by as many as 20 points, but things got sloppy in the second half.  They turned it over 21 times, eight of them by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who found himself dealing with foul trouble in the opener.

After the Bucks coughed up the lead, Antetokounmpo made a pair of free throws with 24.5 seconds to retake the lead.

The Hornets had a shot at the win, but Kemba Walker missed a contested layup and Nic Batum’s three-point attempt at the buzzer failed, giving the Bucks the win. [Read more…]

Ilyasova is back with the Bucks

July 2, 2018 By Bill Scott

Ersan Ilyasova is returning to the Milwaukee Bucks for a third time, agreeing to a three-year deal worth $21 million.  The third year of the deal is not guaranteed according to a Journal Sentinel report.

Ilyasova was originally drafted by the Bucks in 2005.  Mike Budenholzer will be his seventh different head coach in Milwaukee, although Ilyasova played for the new Bucks coach in Atlanta.

Ilyasova split last season with the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 10.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.  He is a career 36.6% three-point shooter.

The Bucks roster currently stands at 14 players.

Bucks send Ilyasova to Detroit

The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a deal today in what is believed to be a move to create salary cap space.

The Bucks sent veteran forward Ersan Ilyasova to the Detroit Pistons for forwards Caron Butler and Shawne Williams.

Butler spent part of the 2013-14 season with the Bucks.  He averaged 11 points, 4.6 rebounds and 24.1 minutes in 34 games before being waived on Feb. 27, 2014.  Butler finished that season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, then signed with Detroit last season.

With the Pistons, Butler averaged 5.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 20.8 minutes in 78 games. [Read more…]

Bucks fall to Celtics, finish .500

Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd used his starters very little in the second half, making sure they’re healthy heading into the NBA’s post-season.  The Bucks fell to the Boston Celtics 105-100 in the finale, finishing 41-41 on the season.  That’s a 26-game improvement from the 15-wins of a year ago.

Ersan Ilyasova led Milwaukee with 21 points and Khris Middleton added 18 points.

Unfortunately, the Bucks will meet the Chicago Bulls in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.  The Bucks went 1-3 against the Bulls this season but won the last time out, 95-91 on April 1.

The biggest thorn in the Bucks side when it comes to the Bulls is Pau Gasol.  He scored a career-high 46 points against the Bucks during a game in January.

The Bucks went 11-18 since the all-star break but coach Jason Kidd said it’s still a great start for the Bucks.

Michael Carter-Williams led his new team to a victory over his old team last night as the Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the Philadelphia 76ers in Philadelphia 107-97.

Carter-Williams poured in 30-points against his old team, just three points shy of his career mark.  He finished 11 of 17 from the field and hit 13 free throws.

It’s the 41st win of the season for the Bucks (41-40) who guaranteed they will finish the season no worse than .500.  That, after winning just 15-games all of last season.

The Bucks will close out the regular season at home on Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics.

Ersan Ilyasova and O.J. Mayo had 13 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 12 points in the Bucks victory.

The Milwaukee Bucks clinched a playoff spot on Sunday with a 96-73 win over the Brooklyn Nets at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Bucks also clinched the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, one year after the Bucks won an NBA worst 15-games.

Ersan Ilyasova had 21 points and O.J. Mayo added 17 for the Bucks, who will likely face either Toronto or Chicago in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Not many people expected the Bucks to even make the playoffs, especially after losing 2nd overall pick Jabari Parker for the season back in December with a left knee injury. [Read more…]

Bucks get a rare home victory against Chicago

The Milwaukee Bucks were getting tired of the Chicago Bulls and their fans, marching into the Bradley Center and treating it as their own.  But until last night, the Bucks have had no say in the matter.

Finally, the Bucks put up a fight, knocking off the Bulls 95-91 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Not only did the Bucks avoid a sweep of the season series, but they ended a 6-game losing streak against the Bulls and even more important, ended a 9-game losing skid to the Bulls at the Bradley Center.

Michael Carter-Williams scored 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead the Bucks, who moved 2 1/2 games in front of idle Miami, 2 1/2 in front of Brooklyn and 3 ahead of Boston.  The Nets and Celtics both won last night. [Read more…]
