Thank you to today's sponsor: PrizePicks! Use code Gyrostep for a $50 bonus when you play $5! The Milwaukee Bucks don’t have many assets to trade this summer, but newly-extended GM Jon Horst is used to being in that spot. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti of the Gyro Step take turns stepping into Horst’s seat on this episode, pretending to call other executives around the NBA and pitch their trade ideas that are both somewhat realistic and help Milwaukee compete without Damian Lillard and playing Giannis Antetokounmpo more at the point forward spot.  GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!

Thank you to today's sponsor: PrizePicks! Use code Gyrostep for a $50 bonus when you play $5! The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers despite holding a 20-point first half lead, a late lead in regulation and a 7-point lead with less than a minute left in overtime. It was BRUTAL. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti broke down just how terrible of a loss this was despite Giannis Antetokounmpo doing his usual hard carrying of the team and another explosive Gary Trent Jr 30 point performance, and after summarizing what went wrong and how many ways Doc Rivers set the Bucks back they went through the whole roster and shared their gut check reactions on if each player should stay or go.  GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!

Thank you to today's sponsor: PrizePicks! Use code Gyrostep for a $50 bonus when you play $5!The Milwaukee Bucks found rock bottom late on Sunday night, losing their pivotal Game 4 to the Indiana Pacers and losing Damian Lillard for the game and potentially much longer with what is feared to be an Achilles tear in his left leg.Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti convened on Monday morning to try and focus on the immediate future, including a win or go home Game 5 on the road in the raucous Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but found themselves distracted by some looming shadows including the long-term futures of both Dame and his teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo. There isn't enough talent on this roster to win and there are very few assets available to cash in. Jon Horst, time to earn that extension buddy.

Ti Windisch, Rohan Katti and Jordan Treske broke down why the Bucks are in a 0-2 hole and if they can recover LIVE on YouTube. The trio discussed the issues the Bucks starting lineup continues to have, the success Bobby Portis is having on both the offensive and defensive end, why Brook Lopez is a liability on the defensive end no matter what coverage the Bucks try, the lack of consistency from Milwaukee's bench, and the lack of trust in Doc Rivers.

Thank you to today's sponsor: PrizePicks! – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5!The Milwaukee Bucks trail the Indiana Pacers through one game of their rematch NBA Playoffs series after Milwaukee got drubbed in the second quarter and failed to come back in the second half. The Bucks lost 117-98 despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 36-point performance on better than 60% field goal shooting.Ti Windisch, Rohan Katti, and Jordan Treske convened to dissect why Doc Rivers simply has to change up the starting lineup, even if they don’t think he will, after Taurean Prince and Kyle Kuzma combined for a grand total of 0 points and Brook Lopez predictably struggled with Indiana’s speed and shooting bigs. They also discuss what went right for the Bucks, namely their Giannis and bench lineup that got them back in the game despite Gary Trent Jr and Bobby Portis Jr not shooting well from 3, and how nice it was to see AJ Green show he can knock down 3s at a high clip in a playoff game.The GSPN trio also discussed the impact Damian Lillard could have when he returns to the lineup, either next time out or for Game 3, but agree that simply inserting Dame for Ryan Rollins won’t be enough to counteract the Bucks weaknesses on display from their starting group.

Milwaukee Bucks legend (on and off court) Marques Johnson joined Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti on a VERY special Milwaukee Bucks NBA Playoffs preview podcast to discuss the key Bucks topics heading into the series. Marques opines on the growth of Giannis Antetokounmpo over the years, how Damian Lillard got back earlier than anticipated from his DVT to hopefully play in this first round, the challenge for Doc Rivers to re-integrate Dame plus manage a deep rotation throughout the series, knowing Doc since the 80s (including an incredible Don Nelson story), the fabled Giannis and friends fourth quarter lineup and if more of those players should start, his 10-year stint as Bucks broadcaster and why he brings advanced stats to the broadcast, and of course his series prediction.Thank you to today's sponsor: PrizePicks! – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!
