Brian Sampson from , Bucks Film Room (@BucksFilmRoom), joins us to air out any doubt about The Milwaukee Bucks who are on pace for 70 wins and despite having the reigning MVP, in Giannis Antetokounmpo, the conversation on them is almost mute. How have they improved their roster to be the runaway favorites in the East at the midway point of the season?

It's time to take note of what the Utah Jazz are doing as they've been the best team in the West since the start of the new year. Mike Conley is back but is it problematic that the team went on a run with their starting point guard on the shelf?

- Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks to the Sacramento Kings Saturday afternoon for Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel and Caleb Swanigan
