Journal Sentinel beat reporter Matt Velazquez joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the Bucks two most recent games, a loss to Boston that nonetheless offered some optimism and a dominant win over Sacramento. As the Bucks head out west for four games, it's becoming more and more clear that this team is for real. What does Matt think the team still has to show out west? What's his evaluation of the Eric Bledsoe trade, one year later. Is Mike Budenholzer really the difference between last year's so-so showing and this year's powerhouse? Does the 117-113 loss to Boston count as a disappointment or as reason to be even more excited?
