The Milwaukee Bucks have missed Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard for their last three games, but managed to go 2-1 in that stretch (and had a good shot at 3-0) thanks to some big-time contributions from Bobby Portis, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Ryan Rollins, and other key players.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti sat down after the Bucks lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday to discuss the latest on Giannis and Dame’s status with the illness that is keeping them on the injury report, how Bobby has quieted trade talk with his exemplary play, Khris Middleton showing positive signs toward his progression while still struggling somewhat with ball pressure, Rollins returning to the rotation, the ups and downs of Rollins, AJ Green, Andre Jackson Jr, Gary Trent Jr and Taurean Prince, and gave Brook Lopez a shout-out for reaching 20th in NBA history in all-time blocks. Then they laughed at the Miami Heat for this mess of a Jimmy Butler situation.
