Are we sure the Bucks are a top-six team in the Eastern Conference? (01.17.2023)

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel January 17, 2023 Duration: 40:21
Are alarm bells sounding for the Milwaukee Bucks? Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss Milwaukee's recent up-and-down play, most recently with a rally for victory Monday against Indiana. Khris Middleton has been out for a prolonged stay and Giannis has missed three games in a row; at some point, when does this become a serious problem for the Bucks? Can the team keep pace in the crowded East, or is it in danger of dipping to play-in status? Now that we're midway through January, where are we at on the trade or roster-change front? We saw George Hill and Wesley Matthews deliver Monday; will we see more of them going forward? Plus: what's making Jim mad?

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski. Music during segments from SoundCloud, "Pursuit Music Logo."
