The Milwaukee Bucks continue to punish the Miami Heat, and Game 3 was no exception. The Bucks proved they don't need hot shooting or even a great game from Giannis Antetokounmpo to blow out Miami, as Milwaukee won by nearly 30 points despite below average showings beyond the arc and from the Greek Freak. After the game Rohan, Ti, and Adam sat down to evaluate how the Bucks continue to punish Miami on both ends, how the injury to Donte DiVincenzo will impact the team in the short and long-term, and of course talk about the likelihood of a sweep. It's slander season, folks.

Defensive dominance plus scorching shooting in ...
The Milwaukee Bucks didn't just win Game 2 against the Miami Heat, they blew the doors off the Heat in an absolute blowout. Milwaukee carried over limiting Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo from Game 1, never letting either player get comfortable on offense, while leaving the cold shooting behind. Bucks shooters made 22 threes en route to a 132-98 demolition that proved Milwaukee has the upper hand in the series, so Rohan and Ti discussed exactly why this result was possible, how difficult it will be for Miami to avoid a sweep much less get back in the series, plus they simply enjoyed Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Bryn Forbes taking down Miami. Other topics include Mike Budenholzer's coaching masterclass, and Bobby Portis being the perfect enforcer.

The Milwaukee Bucks are taking on the Miami Heat again, yes, but plenty about this matchup is going to be different this time around (hopefully including the result). Rohan and Ti welcomed David Ramil, host of Locked on Heat, for a thorough preview of Milwaukee's first round series against the Heat that dove into how both teams have changed since last postseason.
Specific topics include the upgrade that is Jrue Holiday, Miami losing Jae Crowder, the Bucks diversifying their sets on both ends, Kendrick Nunn stepping up for the Heat as Miami's rotation has changed, how the Heat can guard Giannis and how Milwaukee can guard Jimmy Butler, and how Playoff Giannis Antetokounmpo could be the ultimate X-factor. Also, everybody shares their predictions for the series.

The Milwaukee Bucks 2020-21 regular season is officially in the books, and their reward for winning 46 out of 72 games is a first round matchup with the Miami Heat, who of course sent the Bucks home from the bubble last postseason. Rohan and Ti sat down at halftime of the Bucks' last game of the season to talk about the decision to go for the win against the Heat on Saturday, the closure this series will offer one way or another, their overall impressions from the regular season, and updated evaluations of the Bucks unproven players, including the newest signing Elijah Bryant.

Ti hopped on the Setting the Pace podcast with Alex Golden and Mike Facci directly after the Bucks beat the Pacers on Thursday night to discuss the game, the weirdo season the Indiana Pacers are having, and the Milwaukee Bucks postseason prospects. Before that conversation, Ti went solo for a few minutes to break down Thursday's results around the NBA and how they impact Milwaukee's path through the East in the postseason.

The Milwaukee Bucks didn't put forth their best effort against the Orlando Magic on the second night of a back-to-back, but they did enough to get the win and keep their chances of moving up in the standings alive. Rohan and Ti sat down after the game to discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo getting it done even as Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday struggled and took a long look at the standings, including breaking down how the Bucks might dodge the Miami Heat even if they finish third, what needs to happen for Milwaukee to move up, and rant about how bad the last day of NBA games is shaping up to be despite the league planning this out around the All-Star break.

There was a lot to like about Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks beating Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets twice in three days, but despite the Ws it wasn't all roses. Rohan and Ti sat down right after the second win to break down Giannis' jumpers, Khris Middleton's glimpses of stellar offense and defense, the two-way mastery of Jrue Holiday, uneven play from the rest of Milwaukee's players, and coaching matchups. They also thank Jim Paschke for 35 years of excellence as the Bucks play-by-play man.

The Brooklyn Nets are the team to beat in the NBA's Eastern Conference, and the Milwaukee Bucks did just that on the back of Giannis Antetokounmpo's 49 points on Sunday afternoon. The Bucks were not perfect by any means, but Giannis, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday did enough to propel Milwaukee to a 117-114 win over Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the Nets. Rohan and Ti dove into the game right after it ended on Locker Room (with some technical issues -- sorry about the audio sounding flatter than usual) to discuss what they saw, hear what Bucks fans felt after the game, and decide the Bucks Stock Market returns from the game.

The Milwaukee Bucks did not blow their lead against the Charlotte Hornets, but the fact that Bucks Twitter was prepared for that to happen demonstrates some Bucks trust issues. In light of recent late-game debacles, and with the NBA Playoffs ever looming, Rohan and Ti decided to sort every player on the roster into tiers from most to less trusted and explain their choices. WARNING: some hot take tier sorting is in this podcast.

The Milwaukee Bucks were in position to keep surging toward the NBA Eastern Conference's number one seed until, yet again, Milwaukee fell apart down the stretch and blew a lead in what was a very winnable game against a banged up Atlanta Hawks team. Rohan and Ti jumped on Locker Room directly after the game to vent, analyze what went wrong, discuss replacing Donte DiVincenzo in the starting lineup after another stinker performance, and get a pulse on how fans were feeling after an all-too-familiar Bucks collapse. They also made their Bucks Stock Market trades, but mostly this was a vent session.

Milwaukee Bucks optimism is BACK as the Bucks handled business in a crucial game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night in Milwaukee. Rohan and Ti sat down directly after the game to break down all of the good things they saw, including: Khris Middleton dominating in an ideal role, Brook Lopez playing like 2019 Splash Mountain, Mike Budenholzer putting on a coaching clinic scheming against Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo fighting through an All-Defensive caliber player to dominate, and some good old fashioned Sixers slander.

The Milwaukee Bucks have just 15 games left before the NBA Playoffs begin, which means the time to tune up is now. Rohan and Ti went through what they would like to see from the Bucks in these last several games, including better lineups in crunch time, even more switching, more Giannis Antetokounmpo pick and rolls, and tweaks in Khris Middleton's game on both ends.

How will this Milwaukee Bucks season end? Has Jon Horst put enough talent around Giannis Antetokounmpo? Why do the Bucks appear to be unserious sometimes? Gyro Step listeners had lots of questions about the Milwaukee Bucks, so Rohan and Ti opened up the mailbag live on Locker Room to answer them all as best they could after making their Bucks Stock Market trades on the latest edition of Bucks Stock Radio.

Remember when the Eastern Conference had more than three good teams? That was fun, and short-lived. All of the teams currently below the Milwaukee Bucks in the standings have had up-and-down seasons, to be generous, which has resulted in a huge logjam from fourth to eighth. To be comprehensive, Rohan and Ti went through all of those teams, opined on how they would match up with Milwaukee, and then ranked them from most to least dangerous. Teams covered include: the Atlanta Hawks; Miami Heat; Charlotte Hornets; Boston Celtics; and New York Knicks.

The Milwaukee Bucks snapped a three-game losing streak with a convincing win over the Orlando Magic, and Rohan and Ti convened right after live on Locker Room for their weekly Bucks Stock Radio show. After buying and selling various Bucks stocks, the two tackled a ton of forward questions covering Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury, the Jordan Nwora vs Pat Connaughton debate, what Thanasis Antetokounmpo adds to the team, and why Bobby Portis should play more, less, or the same amount of minutes.

The Milwaukee Bucks are extremely close to paying the luxury tax this season, but did Jon Horst manage to dodge it with his midseason moves? The answer, it turns out, is maybe, and the signing of a 15th player this season is NOT the biggest factor in whether the Bucks will pay the tax. Rohan and Ti dove deep into potential salary bonuses, the literal cost of signing one (or two!) players, and surveyed the landscape of potential buyout signings to see who is left to add.

The Milwaukee Bucks blew a double-digit lead to the lackluster Golden State Warriors, and Rohan and Ti are very upset about it. Yes, Giannis Antetokounpo was out and Steph Curry was transcendent, but this was a winnable game that Milwaukee fumbled away due to bad rotations down the stretch, awful execution on a potential game-winning play, and questionable offensive decisions -- none of which are unfamiliar to these Bucks. Despite some positive coaching changes made this season, there's still just way too many bad decisions being made that are costing the Bucks, a concept that was very much on display Tuesday night in San Francisco.

Jrue Holiday signed the extension!! Rohan and Ti got the news half an hour before their scheduled Bucks Stock Radio live on Locker Room, so they dove directly into all things Jrue, including the role he's assumed on this Milwaukee Bucks team, whether the contract could possibly be an overpay, what the options were if he didn't sign, and how damn happy they are he's locked in. After the elation, the Gyro Step hosts covered Khris Middleton's play of late and more trending topics while making Bucks Stock Market investments.

Many Milwaukee Bucks problems were on display in the team's ugly loss to the LA Clippers on Monday, but Pat Connaughton was involved in a lot of the criticism Rohan and Ti saw and heard after the game. They don't quite know why, so they dove into the negative reaction Pat continues to get, debunked some of the criticisms, then cycled through some of the actual issues they saw against the Clippers, including a quiet Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo seemingly being in a funk.

The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly been both in the lead to sign Austin Rivers and reportedly signing Jeff Teague, so Rohan and Ti wonder: which one is Milwaukee getting? They go over why they prefer Rivers to Teague, the potential upside of Teague, and what happens if they both end up in Milwaukee before engaging in a broader conversation about the buyout market as a whole.
