About this episode

The episode discusses the Milwaukee Bucks' recent struggles and their dwindling playoff hopes.

The Milwaukee Bucks have lost four straight games, including dispiriting losses to Chicago and Atlanta, and now their play-in hopes are on life support. What happened here? Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss the situation as best they can. Is all hope really lost? Why can't this team find any measure of consistency? Why is Doc Rivers still head coach? Where does Giannis Antetokounmpo fit in all this? What's left to watch for over the season's final 20 games?
