How are we feeling about the Bucks as the playoffs loom? (05.03.2021)

Sure, the Milwaukee Bucks have beaten the Nets and 76ers in recent days, but what about that brutal loss to Houston? And how nervous should we be about Giannis Antetokounmpo's shaky ankle? Bucks beat reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe take a look at the Bucks with eight games left to play, including a flashy rematch against Brooklyn as a potential playoff preview. Might the Bucks see the Hawks (and Bogdan!) in the first round or the 'boogeyman' Miami Heat? The guys also discuss the play-in system (LeBron doesn't like it, but we do!) and Jim explains that HOW Giannis scored 49 points against the Nets is more important than the total itself. 

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
