Episode 242: Did we learn anything from this?

About this episode

Kyle and Jack recap the Bucks' season, discuss Doc Rivers' departure, and reflect on the team's future.

The long season of suffering is over, so Kyle and Jack recap AJ Green's record-breaking games and the emergence of Cormac Ryan. Then they have a lengthy discussion on Doc Rivers' departure as Head Coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. They talk about how his hiring was doomed to fail, the many faults during his tenure, and how he created a toxic environment. Then they figure out how the Bucks select their head coach, given the uncertainty of whether they will have Giannis Antetokounmpo and whether the team will rebuild. The two also hope General Manager Jon Horst gets to make the final selection. Then they reflect on the season and look at what went well and what non-Doc/Giannis things went wrong before Kyle gives one last film review talking about Super Mario Galaxy and how people need to understand who the target demographic was.
