Heard ‘em say: Mid-August media roundup
August. Continues. To. Stagnate. Still, there are bits and pieces—rumours and news and everything in between—that you might have heard about (yes, it took a lot of resistance not to force a deer-related pun in there—and for the headline). Let’s catch up. Brayden Burries keeps balling You love basketball. I love basketball. Brayden Burries loves […]
Who should start for the Bucks at point guard?
Welcome to Volume I of our “Choose Your Own Adventure” starter series, where we explore the Milwaukee Bucks’ options at each position. Read along, make your choice, and share your pick in the comments—if you dare! As we all know, the Bucks are stacked—overflowing—with guards, but don’t necessarily have many point guards, which could be […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: How many of the ex-Heat players should the Bucks start?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. With the season inching closer and the preseason and regular season schedules released, it’s time to start thinking about the realities of the Milwaukee Bucks’ roster. […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Majority of fans agree with Horst waiting on Giannis
This week, we finally touched on the elephant in the room re. Giannis: the notion that Bucks GM Jon Horst waited too long to trade him. This week’s polling results were fascinating because, to me, they showed how being a team fan and having a deeper connection to its players can change how people view […]
Bucks release 2026-27 NBA season schedule
The Milwaukee Bucks’ schedule for the 2026-27 season is out, as confirmed by the NBA’s Communications Department. Although the Bucks won’t play on any holidays, like Opening Night, Christmas Day, MLK Day, or Presidents’ Day, or travel abroad for any overseas games, there are a lot of intriguing matchups that Milwaukee will face this season. […]
Why the Heat recruits might already know the Bucks offence
The four players the Bucks acquired from the Miami Heat in the Giannis trade—Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis—may already be a step ahead in knowing Taylor Jenkins’ offence when training camp hits. Allow me to explain. Noah’s mark Before the 2024-25 season, a relatively unknown assistant named Noah LaRoche was […]
Bucks confirm preseason, NBA Cup games
The Bucks’ 2026-27 schedule is finally beginning to form. Over the past week, the Bucks have finalized their five-game preseason schedule and revealed their four-game NBA Cup slate. Milwaukee will trot out a ragtag group of rookies and bubble players over eleven days of preseason action. The Bucks will play at Fiserv Forum on Oct. […]
Tyler Herro is excited to rep Milwaukee, for however long that may be
During Summer League, new Bucks guard Tyler Herro spoke with The Athletic’s Eric Nehm about everything from the trade itself to his feelings toward returning home. I’ve pulled some of the more notable quotes from this interview to break down. Of course, all credit goes to Nehm. Obviously, there has been a lot of debate […]
Yes, the Bucks held on to Giannis for too long
Abstract When the Bucks acquired Damian Lillard in 2023 at 33 years old, they probably figured they would get three, maybe four years of high-level play from him, and with him and Giannis, could credibly field a contending team during that time. But then in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, everything changed. After […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Should Horst have traded Giannis a year ago?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. Giannis trade discourse has dominated the summer, and thankfully, it’s over now. I think most Bucks fans would agree that, in the end, Milwaukee did alright […]
Remembering Don Nelson
Yesterday, news broke that NBA and Milwaukee Bucks legend Don Nelson had passed away at the age of 86. Hall of Famer Don Nelson, three-time NBA Coach of the Year and five times a champion as a player with the Boston Celtics, has died at age 86. The family has issued this statement: “On Sunday […]
On this day in Bucks history: Milwaukee signs Bobby Simmons
I can remember it vividly. Year 11 (junior year to most of you). My best friend’s voice riding the wind across the yard. “Did you see it?” I looked up, mouth ajar, eyes staring as if I was mid matrices exam. Then the follow-up. “The Bucks have signed Bobby Simmons!” Dilation. Pupils, mouth. Everything. It […]
Bucks, Taylor Jenkins finalize coaching staff
The Milwaukee Bucks announced their coaching staff earlier on Friday. Under new head coach Taylor Jenkins, only Darvin Ham and head of player development Jack Herum will return to the Bucks for the 2026-27 season. The rest of Milwaukee’s new coaching personnel—including Summer League head coach Pat St. Andrews—are all new hires or returning to […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Majority of fans think Horst is a drafting dud
This week, we’ve garnered your thoughts on trader drafter Jon. Often praised for his ability to secure heists via trade, Horst’s drafting reputation has, well… been a point of contention. Prior to polling, it seemed that Bucks fans were largely down on Horst as a drafter, but what seems to be consensus and what’s actually […]
Peyton Watson rumour round-up
Despite being summer, the NBA’s August doldrums continue at glacial speeds. But amidst the roster limbo the Bucks find themselves in, tidbits continue to emerge about one particular player of interest: Peyton Watson. Let’s catch up. A delayed resolution? The news: Reports from Jake Fischer indicate that a resolution on the Watson front might not […]
Milwaukee looks poised to benefit from strong 2028 draft class
The Bucks do not own their first-round pick in the upcoming draft. Luckily, the 2027 draft class currently is among the least-hyped crops in recent memory, certainly at the top (and that’s not a diss, just the reality). This draft just doesn’t feature the typical high-upside players that usually populate the lottery. Heck, there might […]
Former Bucks Andre Jackson Jr. and Cole Anthony find new homes
In separate deals, Andre Jackson Jr. and Cole Anthony have agreed to terms with new teams, with A-Jax heading north of the border to the Toronto Raptors and Anthony travelling across the pond to Australia’s Melbourne United. Per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, Jackson is heading to the Raptors in an attempt to prolong his NBA career […]
We haven’t talked enough about Brayden Burries
In the weeks following Summer League, it’s dawned on me that, at long last, the Bucks may finally have hit the (draft) lottery with their selection of Brayden Burries, who was named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team. We aren’t talking enough about the fact that a player who most people, including me, projected […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Are fans too harsh on Horst’s drafting record?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. Bucks GM Jon Horst has copped a lot of criticism over the journey for his drafting record, and let’s be honest, it hasn’t been great. I […]
What can Brew Hoop do for you?
As you know, Brew Hoop, like our beloved Milwaukee Bucks, is in a state of flux. Stalwart managing editor Van Fayaz has bid his farewell and Jack and I are grateful—and excited—to have assumed stewardship. Believe me when I say this: we live Bucks basketball. And we love this community. Of course, while we—not just […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: A slight majority of fans think Turner should start
Given Milwaukee’s new path, Myles Turner’s place on the team is clearly up in the air. Do they start him to put the best team on the court and win as many games as possible, while also rehabilitating his trade value? Do they bring him off the bench because starting him might impact Kel’el Ware, […]
What to do with Myles Turner? Part III: Cut
Part I explored the rationale to start Myles Turner. Part II argued for his demotion to the bench. In each of those scenarios, Turner plays a pivotal role in Milwaukee. Of course, it may just be best to cut (ties and trade) him before the season even begins. Cut (okay, trade): Committing to the reset […]
What to do with Myles Turner? Part II: Bench
Part I of the series zoomed in on the possibility of Myles Turner returning as Milwaukee’s starting centre. This is certainly an option for Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins to mull over. But it comes with a cost. And when that cost is stunting the development of the player with arguably the most potential on the […]
