Was Jrue Holiday's foul on Marcus Smart a shooting foul? How can there be such a big disparity in second-half foul shots? The NBA officials were in the crosshairs after Milwaukee's Game 3 win, a tense down-to-the-buzzer finish that gave the Bucks a 2-1 lead in the series against the Celtics. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe look at where it stands, the degree to which the Bucks miss Khris Middleton, the big output from Giannis (even if the MVP trophy is going to someone else), the Wes Matthews factor and, yes, the officiating.

The tide has shifted dramatically in Milwaukee's first-round playoff series against the Bulls after back-to-back lopsided wins for the Bucks in Chicago. Jim Owczarski and JR Radcliffe look at the Grayson Allen resurgence and how Milwaukee has clicked without injured Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, coach Mike Budenholzer's deft adjustments and the defensive effort that has frustrated DeMar DeRozan. But with the Celtics on the horizon, can Milwaukee keep it up against the same team that's shutting down Kevin Durant?

Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss what the Milwaukee Bucks have to do to overcome an injury to one of their three best players now that Khris Middleton has a sprained MCL. Who steps up? How will things look different? Is Milwaukee in trouble in this series with the Chicago Bulls? What about after that? And what in the world happened in an aesthetically haunting Game 2 loss. What happened to Jrue Holiday? How can a player wind up with a bloody face like Bobby Portis and no foul be assessed?

The Milwaukee Bucks took down Chicago in an ugly-yet-satisfying Game 1 victory on Sunday. Did Chicago figure out a way to bog the Bucks down, or was that just typical Game 1 rust? Jim Owczarski and JR Radcliffe look at the defensive struggle, the role of Brook Lopez, and the decision by Mike Budenholzer to keep Giannis off the floor late in the game. Can the Bucks win a title if Jrue and Khris aren't at a star level? Is Giannis getting some superstar treatment from the refs?

 The Milwaukee Bucks enjoyed a great start to the week, with a nail-biting win over Philadelphia and Giannis Antetokounmpo setting the franchise scoring mark in a thrilling OT win in Brooklyn.

Who are the teams that are most concerning as potential first-round foes, does Giannis still have a chance to win MVP and is Jevon Carter in line for more minutes? Plus, One Quick Buck cheats a little to profile a Naismith Hall of Famer and What's Making Jim Mad.
