About this episode
The episode discusses the Milwaukee Bucks' challenging season, the exit of head coach Doc Rivers, and the future direction of the team, particularly regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe give a post-mortem on the troubled 2025-26 Milwaukee Bucks season, including the departure of head coach Doc Rivers and where the Bucks turn next, and how quickly. With Giannis Antetokounmpo obviously the story line of the offseason, does that narrow the pool of possible candidates? Why didn't Doc work in Milwaukee? How do the two paths look this offseason (trading Giannis or keeping him) in terms of roster construction? Does the May 10 lottery matter? Also, just a tiny bit more about Shams Charania.
