Milwaukee Bucks set embarrassing franchise record after latest loss to San Antonio Spurs
Milwaukee Bucks hit a franchise low, suffering back-to-back losses by a combined 51 points—the largest two-game loss margin in team history. With mounting blowouts against the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs, questions swirl about the ceiling of this team.
Camille Davis and Frank Madden scrutinize the Bucks’ midseason crossroads, weighing trade deadline possibilities and the impact of potential roster shifts. Key discussion points include the impact of the team’s third-quarter woes against the Spurs, the Wemby vs. Giannis matchup, and potential trade deadline strategies involving the 2031 first-round pick. The hosts also analyze role player struggles, the play-in race with the Atlanta Hawks, and realistic hopes for the season’s second half.
Will the Bucks find a reason to rally, or is a stealth rebuild looming in Milwaukee?

No coach out there who could turn this around immediately except Tom Thibodeau ..
If not, they should just tank.
maybe Giannis should boo himself
Doc has lost the locker room
doc rivers is a crime against humanity
Green Should not be in any lineup with Rollins and KPJ, none of the 3 should play together
at least GA only had 3 turnovers
GA cant score 40 under Quack Rivers offense
whats magic number to clinch worst record?
cut GA brothers, they don't motivate Giannis anymore
Dame was fking good, if the team looks this bad without him
Don’t judge Doc when season is not over. Maybe he is right.
new starting lineup rest of season: Giannis, Portis, Nance, Ajax and Rollins. Im tired of leaky Green, Turner heaves, KPJ dribbling too much.
at this point we should have kept dame
idc what they do but do something anything bucks let us know where we are going
trade Turner, green, trent, kpj, kuzma, rollins for Dame and holiday
do you think giannis will be traded?
I PRAY the front office doesn’t make a desperate trade, we are cooked. Nothing is helping.
Been saying demote Doc out and elevate a current assistant (Dave Joerger) .. See how the team responds..if well then add in trade before the deadline. If not then just add at buyout and hope to get a good player and then try to go on a little run like Pacers did last season. Team needs a new voice, way of playing and coaching strategery (😂) x's and o's.. Don't waste valuable picks if Doc is still the coach..
Imagine Joker, SGA, Wemby, Brunson, LeBron, Kobe saying it's not me it's them!!😂😂 If they were on the team in place of Giannis – pole Do you believe the Buck's would be this bad?? We got rid Middleton so the Buck's problems should have been over!! Wait a minute, didn't Middleton beat the Buck's 2/3 this year?? 😂😂
LETS GO FRANK WITH AIRPODS INSTEAD I SEE YOU
Call up the Hawks…trade Giannis to them and get back our pick! So we can tank…the right way! We have no chance moving forward! Giannis will not resign here when he has the chance to BOOK! We're not going to make even the stinking play-in! We have NO PATH moving forward unless we make that move NOW!!!!!!!!
They should had fired Doc after the loss by 45 points from Brooklyn in mid Dec. They might had recovered by now, now it is too late! The fact that he is still the coach remains a mystery. It hurts to see this team wasting Giannis prime
Doc is the main reason Dame got hurt last yr,he kept him in the game back to back and over played his return causing him to get hurt..doc is a joke he just keeps making bad decisions at every turn
I now believe it's giannis who doesn't want to let go of Doc rivers❗️
Play in is still up for grabs. That`s the best we can hope for. Finish the year as constructed with only minor adjustments. The season will finish as the worst since Jason kidd era. Healthy Dame and Giannis Bucks was a good team plagued by injuries. Now it is just Giannis and he is not enough with this surrounding cast. Retool during the offseason.
Bucks will be good again in around 2033. Bucks fans get used to it
Fire Doc!
I’m done paying attention until that fuckstick is canned.
Give the interm job to Dave or Darvin. My preference is Dave because he’s had more winning experience as a head coach.
As a certified giannis hater, i feel bad for him😂😂, just trade him get like 4 1st round picks
Its better for the bucks as well in my opinion
Frank: They quit on Doc. Is there a sign that the Bucks have quit on Doc? Is Doc even THE ISSUE or he's just part of the issue? So if they bring in someone else the Bucks will play better? OK.
Why don't ppl talk about the Roster? Fire Doc and blame Giannis on it? Roster is THE ISSUE but y'all ppl don't wanna talk about front office bc its "uncomfortable".
I was not with fire Budenholzer. I was not with fire Griffin and i am not with fire Doc. Doc has this yr and next yr only. Yall wanna fire Doc and blame Giannis like ppl always do when the main issue has been the front office.
How come the Spurs, the Nuggets, the 76ers and the Celtics win without Wemby, Jokic, Embiid and Tatum?
5:31 Frank, I think they really are this bad. This is the worst roster Giannis has ever been on. If we list the PGs giannis has played with I'd put KPJ below Jrue, Bledsoe, Brogdon, and Brandon Knight. Hell George hill was better. Look at SF. It's a mess. Turner vs Brook is no debate. Is Rollins or green on par with Middleton, brogdon, DVD, Matthew's? Bro were so cooked
Glenn needs to retire. Hes delulu.. and thats speaking as nicely as I can about this "man"
Idk why ppl are talking about the Nuggets loss has a terrible loss. Even before the Nuggets played the Bucks i had said the Nuggets are better than the Bucks even without Jokic. As of right now, the. Nuggets win 68% of their games without Jokic. So was that loss as bad as ppl make to be? Its overreaction.
As of now Giannis is taking 17 shots a game. Jalen Bruson, jaylen brown, Maxey, Cade, Mitchell… are all taking more shots than Giannis. WHY IS THAT?
And when Giannis takes 19 shots ppl cry that he doesn't pass the ball. Giannis should be averaging 25 shots per game.
Firing Doc will only bring more drama and that's exactly what ppl want. More drama.
The two guards that were playing so well are not anymore because Giannis is too ball dominant they were playing well when he was hurt I’ll be the one to say it since nobody else will😂
I hate to say it folks…can’t win a game with Giannis on the floor, can’t win with him off the the floor, so what moves can this team realistically make to improve. It’s a loaded question, with Doc at the helm no improvement is possible. Trading players would just be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. This season is shot…fire Doc and start unloading everything. It’s time to start building for the future. Let Darvin coach the rest of the season, do a full scale search at the end of the season. Trade everyone. Pick one or two guys to keep and dump anyone of value. Trade Giannis now, trade Bobby, trade one of the guards between KPJ and Rollins. Shoot, trade Turner if you can get younger/picks. Trade Kuz, trade Gary Trent Jr. Build a roster around what you can get for Giannis. This is the solution…rebuild.
