The Milwaukee Bucks remain outside of both the playoff and play-in picture in the Eastern Conference after blowing a big second half lead against the worst team in the conference on Monday night, this time with Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup and despite a 30 point performance from Kevin Porter Jr. 

Ti Windisch welcomes Justin Garcia on the pod to discuss if this is as bad as it feels and to explore what's gone wrong and if Milwaukee has a way to turn this around fast ahead of a tough upcoming week.

The Milwaukee Bucks are struggling right now, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti decided to focus on some good vibes on this Gyro Step. They drafted the five Bucks they've been most thankful to have watched in their time hosting the podcast together, including one combined honorable mention. 

It should be no surprise that both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton went immediately, with many other supporting pieces from the 2021 championship run included as well. 

Before their Thankful Draft, Ti and Rohan covered some news and notes, including Giannis being listed as Questionable for Milwaukee's game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday and some reported trade buzz with the Bucks and Zach LaVine and Anfernee Simons.

The Milwaukee Bucks are winless since Giannis Antetokounmpo departed their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a groin strain, and continue falling in the Eastern Conference without him. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti break down what positives they saw in the Detroit Pistons game, including Andre Jackson Jr. giving the team some much needed juice and the issues Bobby Portis presents defensively starting at the power forward spot. It is time to unleash Starter Ajax again!

The Milwaukee Bucks blew an extremely winnable game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. While Tyrese Maxey was transcendent for Philly, he didn't have much help and the Bucks got their own great guard performance from Ryan Rollins. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed what went wrong in the latest Gyro Step, with a focus on some bizarre quotes from Doc Rivers after the game and both Doc and Jon Horst's faults that have left the Bucks in a shaky spot with Giannis out for a week or two.

It was easy to let the doom and gloom take over seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo hold his groin and check out of the Milwaukee Bucks' loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, but thankfully we got word from Bucks coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday that Giannis is only set to miss a week or two with a mild strain. 

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti react to the relatively good news before going through all of the various Bucks that need to step up with Giannis out. From Kyle Kuzma, Ryan Rollins, and Myles Turner establishing themselves as forces on the squad to players like Cole Anthony, Gary Trent Jr., and Andre Jackson Jr. proving they deserve to stay in the rotation once the Bucks finally do get healthy, there's a lot to watch for these next two weeks.

If asked to identify the biggest problem player on the Milwaukee Bucks so far this season, most fans likely wouldn't say Gary Trent Jr. While he's not been incredible or anything, Trent Jr. is shooting 39% from 3 and looks relatively similar to the player who shined last season in Milwaukee. The numbers, though, indict Trent Jr. as Milwaukee's worst player, and when looking at just individual players or lineup combinations including Giannis Antetokounmpo it's clear that the common denominator in the Bucks struggles has been Trent Jr. on the floor.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti tried to figure out why this is on the latest Gyro Step, because even to their obsessive eyes Trent Jr. has not been the worst Buck this season. They go through a few options, including Milwaukee's aggressive defensive scheme punishing poor perimeter defense and the former small starting lineup, before bouncing around other trends and news and sharing their Eastern Conference Player of the Week picks.

The Milwaukee Bucks dropped a game in ugly fashion on Wednesday, even with the context that Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out, as so did LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss what went wrong for the Bucks, the update on Taurean Prince's injury, and the lone bright spot of the Hornets loss being Ryan Rollins who has claimed the spot right behind Giannis as the Bucks second-best player. 

Ti and Rohan also discuss the Bucks prospects of finally landing Victor Oladipo, who debuted for the Wisconsin Herd on Tuesday night with Ti in attendance in Oshkosh. They broke down how Oladipo looked in that game and shared Ti's interview with Oladipo after his return to the court following a devastating knee injury against the Bucks in 2023.

The Milwaukee Bucks followed an impressive NBA Cup win against the Chicago Bulls with a late lead blown against the Houston Rockets over the weekend, leading Ti Windisch to ask Rohan Katti a simple question: is the Kyle Kuzma love getting too dangerous?? Ti and Rohan discussed Kuzma and how he helps the Bucks match up against bigger teams, how Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to do too much against the Rockets in the fourth quarter, AJ Green's first slump of the season, and more bench and starter trends on the latest Monday Gyro Step.

 Ti and Rohan welcomed Bucks+ Editor-In-Chief Monis Khan to the show to share new content coming from the official Milwaukee Bucks podcast network and speak to his vision in guiding all of their pod content. Stay for the teaser at the end for the next season of Behind the Bucks, which should have our historian listeners very intrigued.

The Milwaukee Bucks slide continues, with only a last second shot from Giannis Antetokounmpo standing in the way of a potential three-game losing streak after the Toronto Raptors ran the Bucks out of their gym on Tuesday night. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti consider potential rotation and starting lineup changes on the latest Gyro Step. 

While no option seems perfect, the Bucks have struggled overall in their minutes with Ryan Rollins, Gary Trent Jr., A.J. Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Myles Turner all on the floor together despite those players being successful individually. Should one of Taurean Prince or Kyle Kuzma get another chance to start? And what will it take for Bobby Portis to turn around what has been a dreadful start to the season?

The Milwaukee Bucks lost an ugly game to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, surrendering 135 points in regulation in a poor defensive outing. Gyro Step hosts Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti debate whether this was a fart (temporary issue) or shart (long-term concern) before looking ahead to the Myles Turner revenge bowl as Milwaukee takes on the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Indiana is dealing with a ton of injuries, so despite the emotional charge this is a good bounce back opportunity for the Bucks. 

Ti and Rohan also cope with the Bucks loss by laughing at some other teams currently struggling, and pick their Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
