Are alarm bells sounding for the Milwaukee Bucks? Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss Milwaukee's recent up-and-down play, most recently with a rally for victory Monday against Indiana.

Can the team keep pace in the crowded East, or is it in danger of dipping to play-in status? Now that we're midway through January, where are we at on the trade or roster-change front?

Middleton's back, Bobby's out and Giannis just takes over (01.31.2023)

Khris Middleton is finally back on the floor for the Bucks, albeit on a minutes restriction, but an injury to Bobby Portis once again means Milwaukee has to play short-handed. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss what those things mean, plus Giannis Antetokounmpo once again taking over to lead his team on a run of victories. He'll be an all-star captain once again. What about his free-throw shooting though? And just how big of a threat are the Philadelphia 76ers?
