The Milwaukee Bucks got a win in their most important game of this end of season slog, defeating the Indiana Pacers at home to secure the tiebreaker vs Indiana and get themselves some breathing room in the standings to hold onto the fourth seed. But the very next night a short-handed Oklahoma City Thunder team came into Fiserv Forum and showed Milwaukee they’re not at the level of the top NBA contenders with a firm road win.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti first pause to recognize the immense loss of Junior Bridgeman, a true icon. Following that, they dive into the big Indiana win including awful officiating and the right balance of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard brilliance, before getting to the OKC loss and trying to figure out what’s wrong with Milwaukee’s offense. Eventually they explore more starting lineup changes, including if Giannis would ever start at the 5 for Brook Lopez and if Gary Trent Jr. should swap in for Kyle Kuzma to open up more space for Giannis to operate within.
