The most mystifying sub-.500 team in the NBA this year is surely the Milwaukee Bucks, who knocked off the Heat for the second time in little over a week on Wednesday night. (If you are mystified by the Knicks being under .500, you know less about basketball than anyone should ever admit).

Milwaukee won 105-97 on Wednesday despite [...]

MIAMI - For Chris Bosh, it was a “stinker.” Erik Spoelstra said it was “sloppy.” Shane Battier called it a “clunker.” As for LeBron James, he was no mood for descriptive words.

“I don’t even know what that means,” James said when told Battier’s word of choice had been “clunker.”

Well, LeBron, it doesn’t mean [...]

26-year old, LeBron James, is just two points away from the height of his career when he becomes the youngest player to score 2,000 points in seven back-to-back seasons.

The All-Star is most likely going to set this record on Wednesday night, as his team Miami Heat host Milwaukee Bucks.
By doing so, James will be one [...]

And I do not care.  Individual awards are great for baseball or contract incentives.  In Football and Basketball they mean very little to fans who care about their team winning.  The pointlessness of the Rookie of the Year award could not have better evidence than this season.  Two weeks into the year the award was Brandon [...]

The Bucks beat Washington last night at home 100-87.  Big deal, Washington stinks.  The Bucks will play at the Wizards on Friday night.
Quick Scheduling Rant:
The NBA has 82 games to work with for each team to schedule with, why do they schedule two teams in back-to-back games?  It makes no sense.  The entire league plays [...]

The Bucks are two for two with the newly acquired John Salmons, this week the Bucks will get five more games to get a better idea of how competitive they can now be.
The Bucks get two back-to-back games this week.  They start with Monday at the Knicks, then Wednesday at home vs New Orleans, at  [...]

Gilbert Arenas is now officially out for the year.  This is the latest report on ESPN:
A person familiar with Wednesday’s meeting between Arenas and NBA Commissioner David Stern said Arenas requested to be suspended for the remainder of the season and sources said that Stern plans to abide by the request, the Washington Post reports. [...]

It was a good night for state of Wisconsin basketball fans as both the Bucks and Badgers got a win.  Both games ended at nearly the same time so there was plenty of channel flipping in the last few minutes of each game.

Who cares how pretty it was, the Bucks needed a win.  Chris Bosh [...]
