Blind Resumes & Underrated Bucks: Debating Milwaukee’s Real Place in the NBA Hierarchy Post Giannis
About this episode
The episode debates the Milwaukee Bucks' potential and standing in the NBA post-Giannis, challenging national projections and narratives.
Milwaukee Bucks underestimated? National projections keep the Bucks near the bottom of the NBA standings, but are analysts shortchanging Milwaukee’s potential post-Giannis? Justin Garcia and Camille Davis scrutinize low win total forecasts and challenge narratives surrounding the Bucks’ young core, coaching under Taylor Jenkins, and comparisons to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, New Orleans Pelicans, and Memphis Grizzlies. Key discussions include a blind resume breakdown of All-Star appearances, roster talent, youth movement, and coaching track records among NBA “bottom dwellers.” The hosts question why the Bucks are dismissed while similar teams are praised, examine ESPN’s Eastern Conference tiering, and debate if Milwaukee could outpace the likes of the Bulls and Pelicans.
