The hosts recap the Bucks' recent losses and discuss the implications of Giannis' absence and the upcoming trade deadline.

With Giannis out, the Bucks predictably finished the week with three straight losses. Jack and Jackson are back to recap the week and to discuss where the Bucks stand heading into Thursday’s trade deadline. Jack voices his displeasure with the seeming lack of accountability from Doc Rivers and upper management. Jackson discusses the Bucks' tanking and their strategy for the rest of the season.
