As another Milwaukee Bucks season comes to a close, Hear District welcomes top insiders Jim Owczarski & Eric Nehm to break down a turbulent 2025-26 season, including Doc Rivers’ departure, what went wrong for the Bucks, and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee heading into a crucial 2026 NBA offseason.

They discuss why the Bucks missed the NBA Playoffs for the first time in a decade, from injuries and Giannis’ availability to coaching decisions, shifting roles, Myles Turner’s fit within the offense, and why Milwaukee struggled to find consistency in a competitive Eastern Conference.
