LeBron didn’t have to do much to beat the Bucks on Wednesday night, customarily sitting on the bench for the entire 4th quarter as the Heat were up 77-57 going into the 3rd quarter. In the first quarter, though, King James absolutely threw it down on Ekpe Udoh, who apparently hasn’t seen his dunks on Brandon Knight or Ben McLemore. Our advice to everyone: just get out of the way when the King in coming...

MILWAUKEE -- Ramon Sessions glanced up at the television in the Bucks locker room and saw the final score crawl along the bottom line. "We had 67. Wow. That's pretty low," Sessions said. "In this game, scoring 67 points, it's going to be hard to beat anybody." Milwaukee started slow and could never pick it up offensively against the defending champions Saturday night, as the Bucks scored a season-low...
We here at That NBA Lottery Pick love a good prank and during tonight’s Bucks-Heat game, Milwaukee mascot Bango got an unsuspecting Heat fan. Apparently, Bango brought him out onto the court to hold a basketball for an assisted dunk but he ended up getting the guy to hold a “bandwagon fan” sign: Better than the Bandwagon cam.

With 30 teams playing 82 games there are bound to be more than a few bad passes thrown. Of those bad passes this one has to be among the best of the worst. You would think that being 6'11'' would be tall enough for John Henson (No. 31), but to catch that pass he'd need to be a good 12-14 feet tall.It's no wonder the Bucks have only won 14 games, but if they sign one of the monstars from Space Jam at...

TV: Sun Sports Time: Pregame coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. It's hard to believe that the Miami Heat met the league-worst Milwaukee Bucks in last year's playoffs. It's also difficult to determine who will be on the court for either team Saturday night. The Heat will return to Milwaukee for the first time since last season's first-round sweep, with injuries about the only thing these teams have in common....

MILWAUKEE -- Larry Drew wanted to make a conscious effort to run more pick-and-roll offense Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Milwaukee Bucks certainly did just that.
