Hawks 83, Bucks 69 (Series tied 3-3)
The Milwaukee Bucks had a chance to finish off their series with the Atlanta Hawks at home tonight and could not get the job done.  For the first time in four games, Brandon Jennings and John Salmons were ice cold.  Jennings and Salmons combined to shoot 6 of 28 from the floor for 20 points.  The Bucks shot an abysmal 32% from the floor, including 27% from three point range.  Carlos Defino was the only bright spot for the Bucks, scoring 20 points while …

I love me some awards and I love me some LeBron bashing. Check out this edition of News and Rumors in what I like to call the “News and Rumors: Playoff Edition”.
Rookie of the Year Does Not Equal MVP
Let me make this clear: I do not know who should have won Rookie of the Year this season. What I do know now is that the voters do not choose Rookie of the Year based on his value to his team (aka Most Valuable Player).

Bucks 91, Hawks 87 (Bucks lead 3-2)
In a game that saw the Hawks up by as many as nine points with four minutes to play, it was Milwaukee’s strong finish that helped them grab a 3-2 series lead.  The Bucks mounted a 14-0 run in the final four minutes.  This biggest play of the game came when Kurt Thomas drew an offensive on Joe Johnson, which was his sixth of the game.  With Johnson out, the Hawks could not buy a basket, execpt for Al Horford (25 points and 11 …

Bucks 111, Hawks 104 (Series tied 2-2)
Holding serve. The Hawks did so on their home court in the first two games, and the Bucks have now done the same in their two home games. Is this a trend, or a coincidence?
Carlos Delfino (I thought he only killed the Nets…) did his thing, scoring 22 points on 6-8 shooting from beyond the arc. His energy in 40 minutes of play and his ability to hit the long range shot was more than enough for the Bucks – who shot 55% as …

Tonight is another Live In-Game Blog done by yours truly, JB.  Not only will I be recapping the game, it will be done on a quarter-to-quarter basis through my eyes.  I apologize in advance if in game blog seems random.  I have nothing against the Atlanta Hawks, nor am I a Milwaukee Bucks fan, but with the Hawks leading the series 2-0, I am hoping the Bucks can make it interesting with a win tonight.  Let’s see how this game unfolds.

Jazz 140, Thunder 139 (OT)
WOW, what a game for the ages.  Deron Williams dropped a career high 42 including the game winning jumper with a second left on the clock while KD was just 3 points from his career high after dropping 45.  This game had a wild ending as KD had 12 points in the last 5 minutes of the game.  Jeff Green tied the game near the end of regulation with a huge 3 and the Thunder actually had a chance to win in regulation with .5 left.  …
