The Memphis Grizzlies shocked the NBA by firing Grizz head coach (and former Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach) Taylor Jenkins on Friday, so Ti Windisch opened this bonus Gyro Step episode with some thoughts on why despite liking Jenkins as a coach the Bucks should NOT hire him or anybody else mid-season, or before getting a true organizational plan in place that they’ve lacked post Mike Budenholzer.

Then the conversation shifts to a Knicks Film School episode Ti and KFS host Andrew Claudio (aka GMAC) recorded prior to the Jenkins news, featuring a ton of Bucks and New York Knicks talk ahead of their Friday night matchup. Ti and Andrew also covered some very early playoff previewing, as the Knicks and Bucks could very well end up first round opponents. While Jalen Brunson and Giannis Antetokounmpo will hopefully be active by then, there’s a shot neither of them plus Damian Lillard are out for tonight’s game.

After missing the Milwaukee Bucks last few games, on Tuesday evening the Milwaukee Bucks announced Damian Lillard would be out indefinitely with deep vein thrombosis that it was discovered was behind his calf injury. Soon after the news dropped, Ti Windisch, Jordan Treske, and Numac sat down to share their immediate thoughts as well as short- and long-term fallout from the news.

The Milwaukee Bucks lost 108-106 to the Phoenix Suns for a lot of reasons, but one of them was definitely late game execution. That’s where Ti Windisch started in this solo Gyro Step episode, with his disappointment in the Bucks not being on the same page yet again in a big-time moment. 

Other topics include the injury report, with a foreboding update on Damian Lillard’s status plus Milwaukee being short on bigs for most of the rest of the way, as well as a look at the current rotation and what is not working. The spacing with the starters is a struggle between Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez, and AJ Green’s ongoing slump isn’t helping matters much. At least Giannis Antetokounmpo looks great still, and Ryan Rollins put together his best game in weeks vs Phoenix.

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.

The Milwaukee Bucks snapped their three-game losing streak with a strong win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Milwaukee on Thursday night, so Ti Windisch was joined by Justin Garcia from the Bucks Radio Network and Locked on Bucks Podcast to discuss what went right for Milwaukee in that game and many more Bucks topics. 

Ti and Justin weighed in on how they feel the Bucks acquisitions (Kevin Porter Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and Jericho Sims) are succeeding early in Milwaukee, how much of the offense should revolve around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard and whether it matters if they are facilitators or the actual scorers, if the Bucks should ultimately replace Taurean Prince with one of Gary Trent Jr. or AJ Green, if any of the Bucks current out of rotation players have a chance to get back in, and how the Dame and Giannis partnership is going in year 2.

The Milwaukee Bucks are simply not as good as the top teams in the Eastern Conference, as evidenced by their 7 losses and 0 wins this season against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti convened after Milwaukee's latest loss to the Cavs to discuss why they feel Milwaukee is outside of that tier, the games themselves over the weekend, and what they would need to see from the Bucks to believe in their chances to get out of the Eastern Conference.

The Milwaukee Bucks extended their winning streak to four games with another great comeback vs the Miami Heat, with new additions Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter Jr., and Jericho Sims continuing to play well and add needed athleticism.

Ti Windisch was going to start with the new guys until Rohan Katti rightly pointed out that Giannis Antetokounmpo deserved top billing for the way he's surgically controlled games despite being on a minutes restriction, so the latest Gyro Step covers him first after a look at Bucks suspensions including Bobby Portis and potentially KPJ, and then gives into the impacts the new players have had and whether the Bucks have a starting 5 problem. They also cover if Ryan Rollins will still get signed to the Bucks open spot.
