Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel April 27, 2023 Duration: 1:06:56
The 2023 season is over, ending in a shocking five-game loss to the Miami Heat. Bucks reporters Jim Owczarski and Lori Nickel join host JR Radcliffe to discuss the improbable setback, capped by a 16-point meltdown in Game 5 at Fiserv Forum. What are the root causes for the loss? What do they make of Mike Budenholzer's decision not to use timeouts in certain situations, and what about his rotation and other coaching maneuvers? Will this team have a new head coach next year, or should it? Jim has an interesting take on Giannis Antetokounmpo's comments on failure after the game as well as his play throughout the series. 

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