The Milwaukee Bucks split their four most recent games, including two tough one-possession losses to Charlotte and Phoenix. Host JR Radcliffe asks Journal Sentinel beat reporter Matt Velazquez: is it OK to feel really bummed about the past week of play? Matt takes a look at the Bucks a quarter of the way into the season, examines if Giannis is the MVP frontrunner and analyzes where Thon Maker fits into the grand scheme. - - Where does Giannis' crazy spin move against the Suns rank among his greatest plays ever, and my word, did Milwaukee really score 143 on the West-leading Blazers? - - Matt also chats about his beard (and Thon Maker's thoughts on the topic), plus a call out to anyone willing and able to make a video featuring all of Ersan Ilyasova's drawn charges. - - Music intro: "Wide Eyes" by Chad Crouch, available at freemusicarchive.org and soundofpicture.com.
