The Bucks are up 2-0; is it as promising as it looks?

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 26, 2021 Duration: 49:20
Bucks beat reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe look at Milwaukee's fast start in the Miami series; is it as promising as it looks, or does danger remain around the corner? After all, we remember what happened when the Bucks got a 2-0 lead on Toronto two years ago. How in the world did the Bucks go from missing everything in Game 1 to making everything in Game 2? Why have Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo been so limited? Does anything we've seen change the perceived matchup if Milwaukee winds up facing the Nets? Also, some more Khris Middleton appreciation after his cold-blooded game winner in overtime of Game 1.

Then, Jim chats with former Bucks star Bobby Dandridge, who discusses his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame; after 30 years of waiting, he learned of his induction and kept the news from his own wife for days! 

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