Ranking games in a playoff series
We are back with another subjective ranking by yours truly. This time, I ranked the seven playoff games from least entertaining to most entertaining. Though this is obviously a site about the Bucks, we are taking a detour for this article and applying it to any random team. Simple exercise to kill some time before […]
Show Out: Your most obscure NBA jersey
The NBA recently announced its seventh annual NBA Jersey Day (yes, that’s a thing). And I recently indulged (okay, overindulged) in role-player nostalgia. So, what better time to open up dialogue about our own jersey collections? More specifically, which jerseys lie in the deepest, weirdest recesses of your closets? The actual celebration NBA Jersey Day […]
Preseason Rapid Recap: Bulls 125, Bucks 104
The Milwaukee Bucks… got gored… by the Chicago Bulls tonight, falling in their final home preseason game before the regular season tips off next week. Kam Jones led the Bucks in scoring with 23 points, while Brayden Burries and Kasparas Jakucionis finished with 19 and 18, respectively. Matas Buzelis starred for the Bulls with 19 […]
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls Preseason Preview & Game Thread: Don’t get gored
The Milwaukee Bucks are back home tonight to play the Chicago Bulls in game four of the preseason. The Bucks fell to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday in an all-around clunker. Almost as soon as Milwaukee’s starters began to sub out, it looked like the offense was playing in mud, highlighted by a stellar 0/8 […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Who should Milwaukee cut?
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. The elephant has been in the (locker) room all offseason and, despite anticipation of its removal, it remains. Of course, this particular elephant is which players […]
Positional Size: What’s old is new again, but can today’s Bucks deliver better results?
“Positional size” was the term Jon Horst used repeatedly in connection with Brayden Burries and Nate Ament during his post-draft press conference. And yes, while striving for as much positional size as possible is very much en vogue right now across the broader basketball world, it feels like the Bucks, in particular, are making a […]

Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Fans (mostly) want experimentation in the preseason
With the preseason well underway, we wanted to check the pulse of Bucks fans on how coach Taylor Jenkins should approach the preseason and what he hopes to achieve. Specifically, asked whether Jenkins should prioritise continuity or experimentation, each with its own pros and cons. Well, the verdict was decisive, with 84% of fans voting […]
Roundtable: The gang makes some season predictions (Part II)
Yesterday, you read Part I of our first Roundtable for the year, where we talked shop: Bucks record, offensive and defensive ratings, team MVP, and who will make the biggest leap. You know, the more typical season predictions. Part II similarly predicts what’s ahead—but gets a little bolder. Enjoy! Who (or what) will be the […]
Ranking the Roster: Roundup and open thread
For the first time since its inception, Giannis Antetokounmpo is not the winner of Brew Hoop’s Ranking the Roster series. That honour now belongs to Tyler Herro, who will ply his trade for his hometown team this season (and beyond?). And while this means the Bucks are in a very different state than in years […]
Roundtable: The gang makes some season predictions (Part I)
With the preseason already up and running, it’s time for our signature Roundtable, where Brew Hoop staff put their meteorologist hats on and forecast the future, hoping their words don’t come back to bite them (like last year—eek!). This time, despite the name, it was less roundtable and more secret ballot—so you know what you’re […]
Preseason Rapid Recap: Bucks 128, Thunder 126
Bucks win! In their second preseason game, the Milwaukee Bucks secured a road W against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Myles Turner had a monster game for Milwaukee, scoring a team-high 19 points in 22 minutes. However, it was Brayden Burries who starred late, closing out the game in clutch fashion. Aday Mara led the Thunder […]
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Preseason Preview & Game Thread: Baby steps
The Milwaukee Bucks play the Oklahoma City Thunder for game two of their preseason campaign tonight. The Bucks fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a disappointing first outing where their lacklustre defence was put on full display, especially in transition. That said, the game also included some real positive flashes from Brayden Burries and Nate […]
Ranking the Roster: Tyler Herro carries big iron on his hip at 1
It might be painful to admit, but Tyler Herro is the Milwaukee Bucks’ best player. Certainly, he’s their best shooting guard in more than a decade. And since coming home to Milwaukee, he’s said all the right things. But what is there left for us to say about Herro that we haven’t already said (at least until he plays a regular-season game […]
Bucks sign Johni Broome to training camp roster
The Milwaukee Bucks have signed former Philadelphia 76ers forward Johni Broome to a training camp deal, the team announced today; in a related move, the Bucks will waive John Butler Jr. Philadelphia selected Broome with the 35th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, but he spent most of his time with the Delaware Blue Coats […]
Bucks sign Johni Broome to training camp roster
The Milwaukee Bucks signed former Sixers forward Johni Broome to a training camp deal, the team announced today.

Bucks Reacts Survey: What should Milwaukee prioritise in the preseason?
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. Hey Brew Hoop family… NBA basketball is officially back this week, and with a new coach and (basically) a new team, there is so much to […]
Ranking the Roster: Ryan Rollins rockets up to 2
As we’ve discussed at length, a lot went wrong for the Milwaukee Bucks a season ago: injuries, Doc Rivers, underperformance, Doc Rivers, trade drama, Doc Rivers… Did I mention Doc Rivers? Yet, amid all the toxicity, there was a positive storyline to latch onto: Ryan Rollins’ breakout season. After joining the Bucks on a two-way […]
Preseason Rapid Recap: Timberwolves 116, Bucks 97
In the first game of their new era, the Milwaukee Bucks showed glimpses of their potential in front of Fiserv Forum fans, but ultimately came up short, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-97 in their preseason opener.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Preseason Preview & Game Thread: Basketball is back!
Tonight, after a long offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks play basketball again, facing the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. Crucially, for the first time in a long time, nobody knows what to expect. Nobody knows who’s going to start, who’s going to play major minutes, or how the team will play—and that makes it all the more […]
Ranking the Roster: Kel’el Ware oozes upside at 3
Kel’el Ware is one of Milwaukee’s most exciting pieces after the Giannis trade. A 7’0” center who turned 22 in April, Ware showed flashes of high-level athleticism, brute physicality, and floor spacing that could make him one of the league’s best bigs in no time. In his second season, Ware averaged 11.1 PPG and 9.0 […]
Milwaukee Bucks launch Bucks+ streaming service
After trading away a global superstar in Giannis and anticipating a major loss in viewership, the Bucks have made the effort to return the focus back to the local Wisconsin sports market, giving fans more control over how they can watch the games than they’ve had in quite some time. On October 1st, the Milwaukee […]
