The Bucks are closing strong; how do we feel about a first-round playoff series in Indiana? (04.09.2025)

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel April 9, 2025 Duration: 33:18
Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe reflect on a great closing run for the Bucks, including a wild comeback Tuesday over Minnesota. Could this team win a first-round playoff series? It's looking like Indiana will be the opponent, and that creates a reasonable path. But what about Damian Lillard? Is the Kyle Kuzma deal shaping up to be the worst of Jon Horst's tenure? Is Doc Rivers the right coach for the team going forward?

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