Kyle, Seerat, and Michael get together to discuss the state of the Bucks and whether their window as title contenders is starting to shrink, if Giannis can still carry the team, and where they’ll rank in the East next season (01:58). Then, they pivot to talking about Team USA, their takeaways from what they’ve seen on the court, and whether the gap between the U.S. team and the world is actually shrinking, then construct a lineup that would compete with them (28:52).
