Damen L 16 points five assists he was seven for 20 uh that’s he got 20 shots in 25 minutes he was shooting the ball but again you know he started off rough had a much he looked a little bit better as the game got went wore on but I think

He started off like one for seven one for eight something like that um not good enough Malik beey two points uh one for six tonight and again I can’t single anybody out they were all collectively bad uh Brook Lopez 11 points four rebounds audre Jackson Jr six points eight boards Chris Middleton

I mean my goodness one for 10 0 for three from the field three turnovers he was a minus 40 tonight um he was that bad remind me of you know there was um play Au basketball and I don’t know about your parents my parents were were

Were kind of cruel and so you know yeah some of those parents were all supporting I didn’t let me tell you I didn’t grew up in a household where the parent where my parents were very nice about what was going on with y’all that’s good job Johnny nah that ain’t

How I grew up I I’m telling not I’m not and I I can’t it’s not a lie so sometimes I we be on the court and I be playing bad and my mom be like you suck and she would literally she she act like she sucking up a like she you suck

And then was the whole team and she point out everybody and say oh y’all suck and that so you know you look your parents and you want to see something I look my here I zero encouragement up there everybody suck that’s what it was tonight um for the Milwaukee Bucks and I

Hope again I hope what’s I don’t know what what Yan’s I forgot her his mom’s name hopefully she was telling them all they all suck she saw the game they all suck tonight uh even know Jan didn’t play Bobby por 16 point six rebounds Jay Crow with 15 campaign with 13 Pat k

Eight it didn’t matter because they gave up 33 points to to go Yang he was he what what did he shoot Yang took 27 minutes 13 and 14 this is ridiculous um Sam Maro with 10 points Josh uh Jared Allen 21 and 13 Isaac a Coro 10.7 assists and Donovan Mitchell with 31

Seven assists five rebounds 12 of 19 from the field I just don’t have a lot for you um with how the Bucks played I give you just my initial thoughts is that they didn’t come out ready to play defensively the effort was bad offensively they couldn’t make shots I

Thought there was a there was a small chance in this basketball game when it started um and the Bucs I think they that start off they down 20 to2 and then they they got it down to I believe it was a 10-point game at the end of the

First it was 3222 at the end of the first and and there was a small chance okay if you build on that momentum after getting down 20 to2 and getting yourself back into the basketball game you can play you you you’re going to have an opportunity here and a chance but to do

That you got to have Chris wion play like he an actual NBA player and you had to have Damen and like I said Damen little started to play better but it just wasn’t there on either end tonight and the Bucks lost it 135 95 yeah not a lot of words JT what’ you

See same thing you saw unfortunately right trying to take trying to take the the good with the bad here trying to give you something to hang on to but this was a night where this team just from the the jump just looked lethargic they looked like they didn’t want to be

Here I have not seen uh uninspired basketball like this I’m trying to think of the last time I saw uninspired basketball like this from the Bucs I mean I mean good G we lost tonight by 40 points 40 Point grown men losing by 40 points now we all know how Boston felt

The other week um you know but look here’s your reality D Lillard goes one for 10 in the first quarter you know you’re in rough shape Chris Middleton tonight I mean it was tour date City goes one for 10 Chris Middleton goes one for 10 that he finished the night at one

For 10 right everybody just stunk except for a couple people surprisingly Pat Conan right Pat con three for four tonight two for three from the three-point line now that’s nothing to write home about but that’s a heck of a lot better than what we’ve seen from Pat

Conon I’ll make something at least you know trying to make things positive how about the return of Jay Crowder right Jay Crowder it was a you know five for 13 is is not something that we ever want to brag about from a field goal perspective but he was four for 10 from

The three-point L and we were a little bit worried how would Jay car to look after not playing for two months and yeah there’s some Rust there but you know it’s a nice touch from three and good to see him get 19 minutes Brook Lopez I mean was out there

His numbers weren’t terrible but it was far too often he was out there looking like just a guy Malik Beasley didn’t really clock in today I don’t know what happened I’m not I’m not really sure Malik just didn’t it just didn’t feel like I don’t know didn’t feel like

Playing feel like shooting today it’s really disappointing just to watch just to watch this team not compete tonight U to watch this team get out rebounded by I believe it was over 20 rebounds right I think the final to the final tally was 55 to 36 when it came to boards it’s a

Bad look uh I mean you know points in the points in the paint also a disparity 42 for the bucks 74 for for the Cavalier I mean we just didn’t compete tonight and I don’t I don’t really know how much more to say it I we talk about Adrien

Griffin being our doctor giving us prescriptions what I say hey you better hire that chaplain you better hire that you better you better hire you better hire that chaplain what you need to get these boys Souls right get these boys in they were because man you know I get out

The club get go to church just I don’t I don’t I don’t know I I I don’t really have much more to say than that it’s just awful awful effort tonight and and I’m embarrassed as a Bucs Fan but I’m not worried yeah I you you can tell we

Didn’t bring the effort the Bucs didn’t bring the effort I didn’t bring the effort had the had the title Dayton Flyers post game look uh yeah this Bucks team was horrible tonight I think transition defense was just non-existent that’s what allowed them to jump out to

Such a big lead and then I also think that just all the tour dates around like you guys talked about just Chris played awful uh Malik Beasley had a ton of open shots just bricked them and it just really hurts that they did this on National Television on a Wednesday

Because right as soon as halftime happens you got Stephen A in there talking about well Adrien Griffin is going to get himself fired and this and that and it’s just it’s just it’s it’s so annoying for that to happen on on a night like this you could tell that they

Knew their best player wasn’t playing and they didn’t want to play either after Giannis was ruled out yeah and and again Giannis obviously didn’t play tonight the game you know you think it goes a different way if he does play uh Tonio World tweet saying it

To the chat says the de Bucks play Middleton too much a popular refrain um from him you know I I don’t know you know there’s and I don’t think you know this is one of the games where you know there’s not a ton of analysis I think

That you really have to put into it or that that really should go into it because I mean the Bucks were bad on in every phase of the game offense bad defense are bad transition defense bad half court offense bad half court defense bad like nothing about the

Basketball game was good energy was bad rebounds nothing about the game went well and you know so I I I and I I ask you guys you know your thoughts is we have Hall Pass listed as one of our um as a topic here and and here’s a

Question there’s no Giannis you have Cleveland and here’s the interesting thing because you have your next five games you have well well now four games left but in going into tonight you have five games three against Cleveland two against Detroit so it’s not some crazy portion of the schedule that you’re

Going up against here Cleveland’s a decent team but they’re no you know World beaters uh by any stretch of the imagination you know what Detroit brings to the table so I guess my question here is are you are you willing tonight um and again this just it happens in the

NBA 135 95 are you willing tonight to give the Milwaukee Bucks a hall pass and say Hey you know this is this is one of the ones you laid an egg tonight I’m G to be okay with you laying an egg um we can’t do this too many times you can

Have what two to three of these a season and usually when you lay a egg the eggs aren’t usually this bad um you know you can come out you get beat down by 2025 30 point you know it kind of is what it is but to but to basically be down 45 50

Throughout multiple portions of the game it look like that Boston game and again tonight the Bucs only have the excuse of being on a back to back or anything like that but are you giving the Bucs a hall pass um for the effort and for the

Energy and just the way they came out and played on on both ends of the floor tonight yeah definitely how do you how do you not we talked about this we we talk about this all the times the bus are at 41 games in this is where really people are tired now people

Tired now people played a heck of a lot game this isn’t December right this isn’t this isn’t December in late November this is mid January this is late January this is where guys retired you you’re 40 games in at this point so yeah I mean the Bucks are are 20 what 28 and

13 I’m not really that concerned about it you know you’re gonna have these nights like we said it’s usually not this bad but you’re going to have those nights where the team just doesn’t have the juice and you know Dr Griffin being a good coach said my guys need the Reps

And you and you and you didn’t pull your starters at that first right all your starters played at least 20 minutes tonight all your key contributors played at least 20 minutes T night but he knew from the jump this team was flat they they they didn’t have it and it was just

It went from bad to pretty bad to awful to terrible right like I mean that’s just pretty much watch what we what we saw here tonight and you know we Lo we lost by 40 what what what more can we really say yeah um I I’ll give him a hall pass

Just because uh you know like JT said things like this happen games like this happen and then once you find yourself down 20 at half like you either come out of the halftime and you you give a punch back and and you you try to cut the lead

Or you you just fold like the Bucs did tonight on the road and you know I also think without be honest I think this game is obviously different and then just you know if everybody shoots their their mean they get their averages then and I think we we would be fine in this

Matchup it’s just it’s just disheartening to see the the lack of effort that that we always talk about and you know you you would think after a couple of good wins that the Bucs just had that they would try to continue that streak even without Giannis but

Obviously it wasn’t there tonight um but I’ll give him a hall pass just because it is a trip where you do get to play the Cavs three times out of five or whatever it is so to where you know a game like this you can easily Overlook

And you can go and beat them uh next time out and then uh it hopefully it’ll it’ll um bring it back and and the Bucks will end up taking a win yeah you know well you know and I’m going to apologize to the uh Cleveland Cavaliers fans that

That came out and and purchase tickets to go to that basketball game because what they went to go see and what they should have expected even without jannis was a team that was going to go out there and and perform and play uh to an NBA capability and tonight the Bucks

Didn’t do that and so um they owe that you you owe that when you go out and you get paid like they really shouldn’t be able to collect the game check tonight because you didn’t go out and play um that that was bad Deco 123 says I agree

I’m not panicking either they just need to form a true identity either be World beaters on offense or trade for a defensive player just my thoughts at shafty bro says fire Griffin man it’s so obvious um at Downtown Brown who also has to fire Adrien Griffin we thought Crowder would

Fix our issues LOL no chance that happens this team is Bound for another first round playoff exit Dame is not the same player Brook is watched bench is cooked Griff is the worst coach in the NBA this team is going nowhere um and yeah like I listen you know you have and

That’s you know when the books lose like especially like this these are the type of you know that’s the type of tweets that that come uh my way when I’m asking people to give their thoughts and again it’s interesting because again the last the Bucks won their last three uh a buzzer

Beater over Sacramento um they beat um wow of course I you beat Boston uh at the home thing you beat Boston you lost to Utah but then you beat Boston you beat Golden State and then you lose and then you beat Sacramento you know nobody was talking about fire Ag and Griffin and

Then you lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers and you know fire Griffin is is a lot of the talk at JR horv says no heart no pride no toughness no desire just a throwaway game you like to see a bit more effort from the twos and threes the

Ones melded in they cannot win a series Without fullon Giannis might be a playin team if he’s out for an extended period of time I don’t think he’s gonna be out um for an extended period of time I think he just had a um a shoulder issue

That I think uh who was it I believe it was um Jabar Smith that hit him in that Houston game and they didn’t call him flagrant and and Giannis was out um due to that and I know there was some she had shoulder issues before the Sacramento game and uh and and they

Didn’t uh and then he ended up playing obviously with that uh with that shoulder shirt on cut off shirt but you know in any event I you know I I I’m not about the Panic like you say decole in January it’s one of those losses that you know you don’t like to

See you like to see you guys come out and and compete you like to see people have a little more Pride I agree there was no pride no desire no heart no effort um but it’s not one of those things that I you know I don’t think in

April I’ll be thinking damn this lost of C Cavaliers in January um was you know that that’s why we we’re here where we’re where we are today I’m I’m not going um I’m not going that far but I I will say though I will say and and I

Don’t mean I I don’t think I don’t mean to get into a long discussion about it today because we’ve done that in the past and we’ll have plenty of time to do it um in the future but John horse we always say John horse is watching and

These are the type of games where if I’m John horse I’m watching I’m looking at guys and that’s the other reason why I don’t think it I don’t think we have to waste a lot of breath talking about you know what the team how the defense look

What change is coming change is coming in this basketball team and I don’t know who it’s gonna be what they what they say JT you know not the not not the day nor the hour but change is coming to this basketball team and and and yeah I

Don’t again I I really I I truly believe I said this before I truly believe that anybody outside of that starting five with the exception of Andre Jackson Jr you could be on the Move there’s no doubt no doubt about that right but I want to want to go back

To something one of our listeners said that they thought that that Jay Crowder would solve some of our issues and that wasn’t the case right and they’re not necessarily wrong but I will say hang on before we throw Crowder in this you got to give it a couple way let Crowder get

Back get his feet under him right let him let him get back let y let’s let’s see here right before we before we before we we we make that St I don’t want to make that that something so so uh you know conclusory at this point because wait hang on crowder may help

The stay there’s no question about that um but you know part of me feels like yeah Giannis didn’t play tonight okay but even if Giannis did play that that doesn’t make up for Dame going seven for 20 right and you shooting like that okay so Giannis plays maybe they take 20

Shots but you know maybe goes seven for 18 I don’t know but that that’s not on Giannis Chris middlton shooting one for 10 that ain’t on Giannis right like that’s the I mean you know unfortunately Yiannis probably could have scored 30 points tonight we still would have lost

By double by double figures if everybody else played the way they were playing right like I I just I think this was a lack of effort these guys weren’t focused and I don’t I didn’t see them care I I it looked to me like they literally were like I guess we got to

Show up to this right like and and you can’t have those kns frequently unfortunately you’re gonna have them sometimes and you know that’s that’s what you got Dr Griffin for to to uh fig figure it out but uh you know mark my words January 17th 2024 we took

An L by 40 and we gonna be all right this is not going to be a a reoccurring thing um personally I’m thinking these guys are exhausted and they’re probably waiting for the All-Star break so everybody can get a week off uh and I don’t know how many game how many

Games we got to the all-star Break um allar break should be what second weekend of February I you know I thought about that JT as I was walking the dog before the game was you know when when are they you know gonna because that that is certainly a true point the guys

Start to mail it in but it’s it’s too early for that like I think you can maybe start do that a couple weeks before the break but you still got a couple weeks you got to play uh and get yourself some wins before you get to

That point where you can because and and and to your point you do see some weird results like this I would not feel and again I don’t feel bad about this but I definitely if this was like the week leading up to the allstar break yeah I

Would 100% yeah this is no big deal at all not worried about it um but this is this is a few weeks before that so you are getting to that point where you’ll see those weird results the week of Allstar because like you said guys are

Ready to get to Cancun they’re ready to get to wherever you know their vacation spot is um for a few days um but but tonight it’s a little too early uh to be thinking about where you’re going to Vacation um just just yet and again the trade deadline you saw a trade happen

Today with Pascal seum uh going to the Indiana Pacers and we get we’ll talk about that in a second too but but um the deadline is the six used to be the all the deadline used to be after Allstar break uh the the deadline now is

Is right before February 6 so that day of reconing so I guess we do know the day and hour but uh that day of reconing is coming and I think we still have about 15 games before the All-Star break allar breaks what February 18th yeah so

We we about we we allar g 18 we about a month out yes you still got to play yeah about yeah I mean so yeah let’s just take it for what it is hope they’re just in a funk for tonight and we’ll uh we we we’ll see how they come out on

Saturday 100% I don’t think this is something you could put on a coach either especially after some some pretty encouraging wins I think you know he’s not the guy out there uh yeah he might need to be having him ready to go but he’s not the guy out there shooting tour

Dates and one for 10 from three and this and that 12 of of whatever it was 42 so you know I I just don’t think you can you can overreact and say anything about fire AG after this one when this happens all around the league it’s not just the

Bucks that that have these type of knights and and we’ve talked about it you know with the Adrian Griffin you know the defense and I I’m not gonna get into a big thing about it tonight but again Adrian Griffin got this basketball team he thought that he was gonna have

Drew holiday that was the team they gave him and then you know all of a sudden boom it’s it’s Damen Lillard and all these guys you know switch out and you got Malik Beasley is you know and so and and now you’re incorporating a rookie as

Part of he’s I think J is has made eight starts um so you’re seeing you know a lot of these changes that are being made it looks like Brooke to me like Brooke losing a step is not on Adrian Griffin like I think he has I I’m willing to say

That I think he has lost a step um and again I think he W I think a g wanted to introduce this trapping defense this blitzing defense this on ball this ball pressure defense try to do a little bit of it you’re trying to work that out it

Hasn’t all hasn’t worked all the time you so you run some two three you run some different variations of it um and but ultimately again I think he’s GNA get a few more of those guys that that he thinks he can work with and I think

That’s what John hor is gonna have to give him and we’ll see what the defense looks like at that point again that’s why I say it it’s really not worth discussing you know some of these guys that I said I don’t know if Pat’s going

To be here at this point I I I I’m I’m not sure um but there are a few guys who who are here right now that I don’t think you’re going to be here they’re going to be replaced and I think there’s gonna be some other guys um that come in and

They’re gonna get that are going to play some quality minutes and you’re gonna have because again between again this is a bad day for Chris Chris doesn’t us to play like this between Chris Giannis and Damen Lillard I feel like I got 85 90

Points let me say 90 I feel like I got 80 85 90ish points around there I don’t need a ton of offense around these guys so to me the best players that can defend should be on that basketball uh Court playing playing the ball with those other three guys and like I said

If Jan has played the five a lot that’s what he has to do Brooke May Lo may lose some time we’ve seen Brook be unplayable in the playoffs we’ve seen Bobby Porter be unplayable at certain points in the playoffs that may happen I don’t know if

Bobby’s on the team I I I don’t know any of it um but we’ll but come February I will say this come February 6 or right before we’re going to see what this team looks like and then it will be time to evaluate and so right after that Aller

Give him a week to jail whatever but after that Allstar break these type of performances I will be much more critical of not just the team but Adrien Griffin as well because it will then be go like there won’t be once March hits yeah you don’t have the time for

Learning is over and you got to play some basketball and your team’s gonna have to come out ready to play almost every night they’re gonna have to be able to to defend at a at a higher level than they have they’re going to have to

Do those things and again so I can give you some of these breaks now now early in the season I’m and I’m telling everybody now I will be much more critical of not just AJ Griffin but everybody as this thing Marches On well yeah because it’s Crush time at

That point right like it’s not about it’s not so much about like it’s it’s about when things happen yes some of the stuff we see now if we seen that in April oh okay we trouble okay we got a problem right we’re seeing that in March

And April but yeah I mean it’s a long season you give it time we um and you hit it on the head I think you and Chris have both said this this Bucks roster is not going to look the same they have trade that on it’s just not it’s not

Going to happen right worst case scenario if we don’t make any moves I’m I’m I’m I’m convinced we’d be active in the buyout Market either way right like there’s there’s no way we roll with this roster into the playoffs um yeah having said that though still early we have not hit that All-Star

Break now I agree with you after that All-Star break I’m expecting this to come out swinging I need us to look dominant and I want to see us look dominant consistently after that break I don’t want to see us playing with our food I don’t want to see any goofy

Losses I don’t want to see us do things just blazingly don’t make any sense we got to tighten some things up and you know what we say allar break is the 18th of February so yeah you got got got about got about a month to uh to to figure out what our

Moves are going to be and uh and and and lean into our identity fortunately enough it’s a lot easier to get um you know Defenders at at the buyout and U at the deadline so I I I think that you know especially with a report of maybe

PJ Tucker some Buck some Bucs interest in that and I think you know we Pro most likely win that over the Suns or whatever because you know it’s just attractive to PJ that that he can come play with Giannis again the only guy that got him a ring out of uh out of

Being a journey man so hopefully you know maybe that does something for us but other than that I mean you you got to get some defense um kin raying says don’t want to fire AG at all but this is disappointing that games like this happen in the NBA

No no other sport has multiple games uh where guys take the night off baseball has double the amount of games and they go out and put it in every night I mean yeah they to an extent I mean they they take night days off with hang nails uh

They you know they I’m just I mean they they I mean they play the game with with mouthful of sunflower seeds I don’t know how I mean you can do that you ain’t really you see you see some football scores out there from time to time 213

262 stuff like that let’s just be clear here right because I’m just gonna say this as far as all your all your your organized team sports in your major leagues in North America football is the only one that’s on this no days off right football and maybe hockey to an

Extent I say was basketball too basketball well talking about professional like I mean football is the only one right everybody else soft that’s just kind of what it is right I’mma throw that out everybody else is soft oh B my back I sneeze too hard you

Better figure it out get you the heating pad keep that thing pushing like what is that right like but you see that you see that happen like no basketball players I told yall and I would die on this hill they’re inherently soft it’s the most

Amazing thing to me how you can be this height this weight and oh oh oh I need rest I can’t I I need come on man you you playing Call of Duty all day at home you don’t need no rest you went to practice for an hour you chill you

Kicking it right come on man what do you mean you need rest um yeah no I’m I’m with you there uh rid R noop 414 says throw the tape in the trash on to Detroit uh I read a couple more comments and then like I’m I’m being cognizant at the time uh and

We we gonna get up out of here Ellis is ready says there’s going to be major changes in the offseason start oh wow starting with this RW coach getting fired see y’all are like I’m not gonna okay um people I like I said you know there’s you

Know I’m not good um3 got folks fir that’s what I’m say yeah that’s what I’m saying like people get so upset you can’t take these losses to Heart in January um at JT well JT 8911 8459 not worried unless we drop one to the Pistons um and then uh Mr Miyagi chin

Says Cavs was wasn’t missing shots Bucks was missing and getting out rebounded defense is still ass with or without Giannis at Jay love for six says we are nothing without jannis so a lot of people little little upset with uh with the way the books played tonight and

Again rightfully so I wouldn’t over add say he got fired and C on but rightfully so um let’s give out some game balls uh man I my game ball tonight goes to I’m going to give it to uh to to to to JB biera who you know had his team ready to

Play because how many times and I I will say this how many times have you seen the Bucks be on the other side of that where the the Bucks see a team that’s missing starters missing guys and maybe let’s say Donovan Mitchell is out and the bcks will play down to the Cavaliers

Level so so I’ll give JB Biga and the and all the KE Cavaliers game ball for just going out there having your team prepared to go you hear Yan is out some teams say oh okay well man I’m not even hyped for this no more they came out and

Said y’all better come out and play us cuz we playing like like we want like this is a dag on playoff series right now and so I and again I give them all the credit in the world for the Cleveland Cavaliers going out doing it

So uh JB bigger staff game ball to him uh for having his team fired up ready to go and also and they didn’t take the foot off the gas either what no what no we up 20 somebody gonna come back no no

No no no we up 20 we gonna go up 30 we up 30 we go up 40 we up 40 we go up 50 we ain’t calling the dogs off till this game ends so a lot of credit to J biger staff in that uh organization uh for for

Beating it beating the snot out you I like it I like it you you don’t come out prepared to play that ain’t got nothing to do with us so good job on CLE on the cleeveland Cloud’s part um for for beating the Bucks uh tonight well I’m too Petty to give a

Game ball to Cleveland so I’m not gonna do that right I don’t I do that unfortunately I lack the maturity to go ahead and acknowledge that effort on their end right because I’m not to me it wasn’t as much about Cleveland coming out taking it to us as much as it was

About us just giving up tucking our tails and just not even I mean we beat ourselves we couldn’t beat our s in Squad I was going to go somewhere else and I just realized you know what n c Y’all Gonna pause me so I

Just went ahead and yeah no I mean um if I had to give the game ball to somebody in the buck though I would give it to Jay Crowder tonight the reason being is that yes five for 13 is a bit of a tour date four for 10 from three but coming

Back after not playing basketball 19 and playing 19 minutes playing you know looked like he looked like he played pretty hard to me was out there really trying to give it what he had you know again there’s a reasonable amount of rust there that you you you expect after

A couple months but you know how about how about Jake Carter coming out and competing you know first game back from uh from injury so I’d give him a game ball if I had to give one to somebody on the boxing L yeah I mean I I didn’t

Really think too hard about this I’ll give it to georgees neang I mean 33 points missed one shot Off the Bench 27 minutes I mean he was phenomenal he wouldn’t miss and you know I think that’s that’s a good piece for for Cleveland and if he can you know keep

Get keep uh keep shooting like that I mean that’s that’s insane real good piece uh for Cleveland at the other Rober 19 says I’ll sacrifice every Bucks game this week for a Packers Victory on when they play Sunday or Saturday for a Packers Victory Saturday so some people

Are saying maybe the Bucks are sacrificing uh to get the Packers to advance in the playoffs let’s look around the NBA somber night on the Cream City crossover 13595 Cavs beat the Bucks uh the Lakers are up big right now over to Dallas Mavericks um the trail Bladers

Up 2423 over the Brooklyn Nets right now and the Timberwolves 29 and 11 they 124 117 over the Pistons uh the Raptors win 12197 over the heat the Knicks beat the Rockets Celtics blew out the Spurs the Hawks beat the Magic by two the Pelicans continue their winning ways uh as they

Beat the Hornets and then oh the um well sad news obviously in Golden state where the assistant coach there passed away had a heart attack um so rest in peace uh I don’t have his name in front of me but uh but rest in peace to him

Apparently we were out on a you heard about that story where they were out at a restaurant or something and uh there was he had a heart attack so they did postpone um that game um so again just well you know again life short so uh again I think that’s

The right call to postpone the game in other news um see is Toronto Raptors traded uh Pascal seak to the Pacers um so the move three players and three future picks the Raptors get Bruce Brown Jordan no former uh Kira Lewis two first round picks uh

From the Pacers and a uh two 2024 first- round picks from the Pacers and a 26 first round pick the Pacers get Pascal kakum and a future second round pick um listen I think that’s a good move for Indiana I really do I think Indiana got

Got better I think that and I’ll say this because we know about the Indiana and the Bucks having a little rivalry and whatnot you know halbert’s out um and this is a good this is a good pick up for them at this point in time too to

Not wait till the deadline because I think halber G be out for a few more weeks I don’t know he’s gonna be in an All-Star game uh due to his injuries but this is a good move for them because they really do need to to keep Pace with

You know they they really don’t want to be in a playing game they want to keep pace and they want to play well so they can position themselves to maybe be that six seed that five seed whatever at least win a first round series or at

Least have a punch or shot win the first round series but I’m telling you to me Indiana is the in my opinion the top three in the East Boston Milwaukee Philly and number four to me jumping over maybe a a Miami or New York I think Indiana to me fully healthy as a

Clearcut fourth best team in the East and I’ll tell you this if one of those top three teams are not on their game I don’t care if it’s the Milwaukee Bucks or Philly or boss if you if you are not playing up I think they’re gonna make

Any I I put like this number one I think they will compete with anybody and I also think if you’re not playing to the best of your ability they can be they they could be any one of those teams I absolutely believe they could be any one

Of those teams and and and so and I give a lot of credit to Indiana for making the move because again this this is Indiana it’s not La it’s not Miami I know people criticizing because they gave up a lot for Pascal Saku those are the moves you have to

Make if you want to go if you want to go get it you you want to be a team that’s going to compete yeah you’re not getting nobody’s coming to your franchise and free agency and you know so what they they need halberton to take the next

Step um but this is a good this is a good move Pas seak has a great motor plays hard both ends of the floor um just a really really really good player and uh this is a good move for them you got so you got Pascal mouse turner and and uh tyres

Halberton they they come into your building they’re going to be a tough out no matter who they play in the playoffs yeah no no question about it right you this is this is a solid young core because not only the players you mentioned right you still got you got

Your boy you got your boy buddy in the mix right Miles Turner man my guy how about Benedict mathor that’s my Arizona’s finest right gotta go ahead and shot that man out not to mention say his last name m it’s really Ma butor I mean you m

Meor it looked like mathor but it’s really matter but that’s I call that man mathor you know we go ahead put some extra respect on his name and make sure that we uh we enunciate the way it looks no but uh you’ve got you’ve got a solid

Young core with this Pacers team rather or not they can they can they can all rally around and and win right how they look in a in a seven game series I have no idea but uh good things coming out of in Indiana for for sure definitely and I

Like this move I like this move the Pacers uh I’m not I wouldn’t worry about them in a seven game series if we’re still on our game but uh wouldn’t worry okay no in a seven if we’re on our game I’m asking I I’m not I’m not listen I’m I’m not no

Well I think what they they kind of recogniz is that they’re obviously not going to be going 10 deep in the playoffs so I think this really uh improves their chances when you add a guy like Pascal shakum because then you just go to the fourth spot you get obit

Toop in there obviously uh yeah now but they they’ve seen what he’s able to do right with the Knicks coming off the bench so I think that’s another piece who can come in give him a little bit of a spark no bias I mean obviously I got

The flag behind me but uh but yeah no I think I think it does a lot for him I think honestly when you look at this move it is kind of you kind of got to raise some eyebrows about is this to try to make sure that they can beat the

Bucks because now you pair up Pascal kakum with Miles Turner and now you got a inside presence an interior presence I think you do uh you know to like couple Twin Towers you you know you stick Miles Turner on Brooke instead of Giannis and Giannis doesn’t go get 45 so Pascal

Cakam tries at least attempts to guardi jannis I think that’s what they’re trying to do with this move I I I like it I think that that it makes him better for sure especially in the playoff series yeah and I and and I go further I

Don’t think it’s just a stop Yan I think I think it’s a big move you know when you look at Boston um as well what what they have I think you know you’re competing against all those teams and and you know just another guy again he can play multiple positions uh and and

Again he’s he’s a like said I just like pasc his motor very high maybe one of the highest Motors in the in the NBA um so again good to see teams wanting to go get it KY racing says pasc was a pest on GA kind of nervous not gonna lie I don’t

Say I’m I Won’t Say I’m nervous either because again I will say this if you’re nervous against Indiana and and when I say I’m not nervous I guess I say to kind of what John you’re saying is yeah if you’re playing the best of if you’re playing the top of your game you

Shouldn’t be nervous and I’ll tell you this if if Indiana scared you and if you actually think Indiana can beat you and when I said they could beat you I’m saying yes if you’re if you’re not on your aame yes anybody can be beaten really that that goes play Miami that

Goes to number of different teams if you don’t play your aame you can get beat there’s a few you can get like Orlando I think you play your BC game and still get past him in the series maybe even in New York probably even a but maybe not

Even a Cleveland team I don’t know but um but yeah if you if you’re having to compete with Indiana and you’re not able to beat them soundly playing your game then I don’t think you’re ready to compete for a championship either anyway because I don’t think D Denver’s not

Messing around with no Indiana not not coming close like they’re not ready to compete for a championship and if you’re saying they are then you’re I don’t think you’re ready so I guess that’s my point on that I do think Bruce Brown’s a big loss though um because Bruce Bruce

Played well in in different play well in a lot of different stops and and um you know i’ be there you talk about guys that the Bucks could get now again depends if you would be willing to to because I think he makes about $22

Million if you be willing to get off of a a Bobby poris and Pat conon for a guy like you you could get Bruce Brown in here um who is a legitimate defensive presence and again I always we always talk about that well you got it what are

You going to do about your backup big I saw Bobby porz tonight same you don’t have a backup big you don’t have a backup big as is cuz that’s he’s not a backup big I I I I I don’t see it so bring me anybody in here who’s 161 would

You say Dwight Howard bring him in he can do it by that’s you want to bring long long as Kitty don’t come to walking we gonna be all right right right right right white Howard bring Kitty to walking oh that’s a different that’s a different issue all

Together man but yeah I mean look listen I kick the towers you kick the tires on the white Howard okay right no listen personally I before before I go to the white Howard route I probably i’ see what cousins got Boogie got anything left oh my God I mean listen

Over white Howard that’s not unreasonable I don’t want any of these guys just hit the draft just hit the draft next year roll what you got hit the draft the draft can’t help you this season yeah but I don’t necessarily think I don’t I don’t necessarily think

That the big spot is our problem anyway um so I I think we’d be fine there regardless of what happens yeah um snaky 973 says I feel like there are so many excuses being made right now they need an identity they need to get better they

Need to jail better as a team but I think the excuses will run out don’t see progress being made and that’s I said I disagree with that like what do you call the last three game what do you call what happened in Sacramento in Sacramento Golden State and uh and

Boston like I I you just Boston by you just be Bost by 50 points you up 50 you if Boston kept you the Bucks would beat by 60 points the other night so what how do you say progress has made this a 28 and 13 basketball team who who again and

You probably say Mak an excuse with and again everybody misses people but they are one and four without either I think Dame or jannis without one of them being in the lineup Jan only missed his second two games this year so they’re one and four without the without some

Combination of those guys Chris Wilton was on a minutes limit for half the season right one in so again four of your lost I’m not taking away but I’m just saying you’re what what is that make you 20 28 and and and Nine without those guys like and four of those losses have

Come to Indiana like this team has not lost a lot like I know there’s a lot of that well they have the easy schedule well and if you want to go if you want to go that route with played like it because they beat basically everybody on the schedule with the exception of

Indiana and you had a tough loss here and then you you lost one to Boston early in the season everybody’s raving over this Philadelphia team Bucks beat them open tonight so everybody that you like Sacramento Kings very good basketball team beat him down now they haven’t been

As good as but that was was probably a team people looking at oh look look in the schedule you got Sacramento coming out be te beat him down Utah you played them they’ve won I think they’ve won like nine out of their last 11 or something crazy like that so they’re

Playing well right like you know all hope is not lost I think I think people just don’t like the inconsistent performances and that has been an issue but when the Bucks are you know again what we say JT theyve they’ve got to get to the Milwaukee Bucks have got to get

To a couple possessions either way and when they’re not in that position that’s when things can get rough like tonight um so there’s that for that uh JT did you see uh you see DeAndre missed the game tonight did you hear about that hey man you know what I’m get I’m G give

DeAndre a pass he he from from he from the Bahamas he spent his time in Arizona in Tucson and in Phoenix it’s first time in his life where he’s living somewhere where the temperature is consistently below 32 in the winter hey it was too much ice in the neighborhood for him to

Get to the game the team tried to send people to pick that man up they couldn’t do it everybody was sliding tell his streets that I don’t know if the HOA they need to get on their job it’s they need to do let me help y’all out get you

A little bit of salt right get you get you little get you a little bit of salt seems to work here in the Midwest and in the Southeast region of the United States get you a little bit of salt on them roads and it’s gonna be okay it’s

Really not that hard but that story was wild and even looking at some of the uh Clips on Twitter with a wild too this this is bad this is this is bad this is like we talked about Chris the baseball guys miss doing this is this is an

Excuse I would see from somebody in MLB um there’s no reason why DeAndre and missing is missing basketball games you are I I don’t I don’t have time for it you don’t get you’re not a seventh grader you didn’t get to you don’t miss school before a snow day

That’s not how this works you get paid millions of dollars whatever you need to do you get you if you need to sleep at the pract at the at the facility that’s what you do get your butt up get to work you getting paid a lot of money you’ll

Get paid a lot of money to sit down sit at home and Miss gam because of some snow I don’t want to hear it I don’t care we from the Bahamas everybody else make it to the game everybody game where do you live where do you live

That’s on your real you need to put your house up for sale right now you need to put your house up for sale everybody else made it but you why is he living in in the suburbs in Portland anyway like what the only thing I why is he not in

Like a highrise in the city come on now just walk to the arena you’ve been to Portland I don’t know man I’ve been to Portland was ass I thought Portland I thought Portland stunk just to be just be I know I don’t know we have any oh gosh we got Dame we

Got Dame uh stand periodically listen to the show yeah now Portland stinks I I I don’t blame him for living in a suburb of Portland I went I was not impressed yeah I peeing in the street and all kind of like yo what are y’all wilding in

Portland like I’m good bro I don’t like anything about Portland and and quite honest honestly I wasn’t really San Francisco either yeah that’s what sound say people pee in the street that’s what sound in San Francisco well Portland too they got that energy I’m telling you the

West Coast Wilding I love the West Coast coloring up the snow making yellow snow right n seen some wild stuff maybe that’s what DeAndre Aiden needed maybe just uh have some have some people pee in front of the in front of the roads on

The roads so that he can get to the game nice such a ridiculous us to me DeAndre missed the game um but okay uh and then I don’t know if you guys saw last thing that uh there was a $50,000 fine for uh coach Mike Brown Sacramento Kings when

He brought the laptop I did see him bring the laptop out after they lost um to the Bucks and to me just yeah that was that was ridiculous and I don’t think it I don’t think it helps anything for Mike Brown you know and the other

Thing about it was then you come out the next night and you lose to Suns the Suns after being up 20 with the the the kings were up 20 with eight minutes to go in the game and you you end up losing to the Suns and that and that’s kind of

Something I’m talking about like when you criticize refs and it’s so easy because everybody likes to go to the officials I would love one of the greatest one of the best Clips I saw back in the 90s or when it was was AI Allan I was was complaining to to an

Official I believe he was complaining to Joey Crawford and Joe Crawford looked at him and said you know he’s complaining about this call hey you missed this call you missed it and joy Crawford looked at him and said did I say something to you and you missed that last jump shot so if

You wna if you want to blame officials and offic for not being perfect and not getting this car right not then I should be a to then why shouldn’t the officials be able to come through after the game and and show the laptop like damn we we

Ain’t make y’all lose that game you up 28 minutes to go let’s go through the sets you ran these last eight minutes Mike Brown why’d you lose that game nobody does that to you um or at least some I’m sure people do but the officials don’t do that to you so yeah I

I’m not a big fan of doing that to them at least to that to that degree especially when if you saw that basketball game the Sacramento Kings actually were not called for a foul the entire fourth quarter the entire fourth quar against the Bucks they were not

Called for a foul the entire fourth quarter until they started intentionally fouling at the end of the game so you can you can miss me you know with a lot of that crying about the foul stuff um the point he made yeah there was a foul

But I mean that that the refs Miss but they missed plenty on the Bucks too so yeah I I I didn’t find it very compelling I thought he went way way over the top uh for no reason well we knew Mike Brown was Goofy when we saw

That video have you seen that video of him in practice sprinting with everybody that was looking like a d tackle getting which is impressive but it just the how that went down was completely goofy I look I liked Mike Brown a long long time ago but I just

I never understand is it is it is it a is it a uh is it therapeutic to criticize the refs publicly and to get people to say that you saw you know they see what you saw and that you were right I don’t really know I don’t really see

The point it’s not going to change outcome haven’t said that that’s kind of where we are in basketball right our basketball players cry and complain in the ref all the time oh if I fouled oh you know and they and they and that’s that’s just kind of the culture here and

Unfortunately you’ve seen that go from players to refs where you just you got to cry complain if something doesn’t go your way yeah and it obviously didn’t light a fire into his team uh right like coming out in the post game and you know think acting like you you got your guys

Back and then obviously the next night you know they lose and and blow that lead so whatever he was trying to accomplish it didn’t work no absolutely didn’t work and he’s 50,000 in the hole right uh now he can’t now he can’t stay to richz cartton when

They go to uh when they go to Lake Tahoe uh EXO EXO 26 said dang missed us live going to watch the replay yeah come on back in the room spin back in the room watch the replay again I’m not going to tell you the energies High wasn’t that

High tonight because the Bucs energy wasn’t that high but uh but we’ll see what happens uh the next time the Bucks play tonight was just not the Bucks T night they lose it uh 135 to 95 they are back and acting have two tough days to

Think about this one uh and they are back in Action Saturday afternoon at 3:00 against Detroit Pistons I would tell you this this is what I would do uh and and and and I I I bid you guys a do and I let John and Chris give their

Final thoughts if I was the Milwaukee Bucks I would sit y Saturday at 3 o’clock I’m sitting them again and I go CH I’m challenging every one of them boys to go out there and go beat the breaks off the Detroit Pistons I’m not giving you the honors to get back into

The win column I’m not gonna do it you gonna go out there you G and you gonna go f for yourself that’s what I would do I would sit Yiannis another game against Detroit and I would make those those guys go out there and go get a win on

Their own that’s me and I love that mentality right because because if this Bucks team cannot beat the Detroit Pistons that have won a whopping total of four games out of 41 this season we do got bigger problems at that point we got bigger we got bigger problems

Because at that point these boys can’t get that win then I gotta say wow is Giannis keeping on y’all employ is Giannis really keeping y’all is is is Giannis responsible for the real estate of half of the locker room because y’all can’t beat the hapless four and 37

Pistons yeah Monty stealing money boy Monty is stealing money here comes the heist and it’s it’s on somebody on the Bucks to to recognize that as well that you don’t need Giannis to to go and beat some of these teams especially not the Pistons so somebody in that locker room

Has to step up and light that fire into them as well and make sure that they go out every night and and give their all and that’s not what we saw tonight and hope hopefully it gets better yeah well no it absolutely has to get better 100% um so tonight was a loss

For the Milwaukee Bucks uh appreciate everybody for listening watching liking everything you do uh subscribing it all helps us out at the Cream City crossover it was a 13595 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers I want to thank our sponsors uh tonight at the law office of daily M Johnson all

Your defense needs off the court call Dam Johnson um directly at 608 893 8370 um and he will help you out 100% we appreciate everybody uh tonight the guru Trey Crosby third JT Chris King is a Cream City Media Group production don’t take no wood nickels

The Milwaukee Bucks didn’t even show up tonight. An abysmal performance from everybody in a Milwaukee Bucks jersey. Not much to say about this one. The Bucks were about as bad as you can get.

  1. All i know is 22 mil a year for a 36 yo center who can't switch is tooooooo much . He makes some of his threes and protects the rim. That's it . He can't switch, he can't rebound the ball for his size , he can't even post up nowadays . At some point , you look what your assets are and how long until they have no value anymore . We already have 2 depreciating assets ( Khris and Brook ) . John Horst has some decisions to make .

  2. This team is so frustrating to watch. They can come out like world beaters some nights and other nights they just mail it in. When Middleton runs the offense it is cringeworthy. His turnovers are the absolute worst. At what point does professional pride kick in?
