The Milwaukee Bucks have been an afterthought for a while, now clinching a losing record and eliminated from a playoff berth in 2025-26 for the first postseason miss in a decade. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe examine the ashes, particularly looking for clues about whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo will be back next year, and who's ultimately responsible for making that call. The NBA is obsessed with stopping tanking; is that a justified pursuit, and have the Bucks been violating some key tenets in that regard with Giannis? Is there any chance Doc Rivers is back as head coach next year? What else do we need to know about the rest of the team as we look ahead to 2026-27?
