Host JR Radcliffe and Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski discuss the heartbreaking development for Milwaukee and where they go from here. Can they still somehow prevail in this series? How does it change the outlook for next year? Will Giannis Antetokounmpo be traded? What's the level of surprise that the franchise re-upped general manager Jon Horst?
