The Milwaukee Bucks made it to the NBA Cup semifinals for the second straight year but this time managed to beat the athletic team led by a gifted shooter and passer, overcoming the Atlanta Hawks thanks to a dominant MVP performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo and some late game Damian Lillard heroics. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti covered the Giannis and Dame takeovers, the big impact Milwaukee’s other bigs Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis had, how Andre Jackson Jr is growing in real time in his new starting role, the rough ball-handling from Khris Middleton, A.J. Green’s ups and downs, and looked ahead to the Bucks’ opponent the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup final on Tuesday night. Also trade season is officially started now, so Ti and Rohan broke down the Dennis Schroder to Golden State deal, what the Pistons are up to and how Paul Reed could end up a Buck, and the Thomas Bryant to Indy trade.
