WEBVTT - WTF is Up With The Milwaukee Bucks

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Moving forward, What the fuck is up with the Milwaukee Bucks.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting a little, I don't know, concerned. I might

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>not quite ready to pull the fire alarm yet, but

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I am a little stressed about it. The Bucks are

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like a girl who or a guy who looks amazing

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on paper. They got everything going for him, right. They

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>got the job, they've got the looks, they've got a

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>good family. They seem like everything is in order. But

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>then you start dating them, and then things come up

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>where you think, hmm, something's off. These are red flags,

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like maybe she lives with their ex boyfriend. Still you think,

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like you think the house that she says she owns

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe actually her ex boyfriend's family's house and it's in

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>his name. And then then she tells you, oh, yeah,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, we share a dog. Still I know

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it was like a really good relationship. We parted as friends.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Just wasn't working. But when I go out of town,

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>he comes over and he watches the dog. You're like, oh,

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>does he bring a bag? He just comes over and

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>he houseits and dog sits. When you're out of town.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, He's left a couple of things, like a

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of pairs of shoes, some sweats. Wait, does he

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>still live there? Like? Does this guy still fucking low

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>key live with you? So you start asking more questions

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>and things start getting more and more murky. That's kind

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>of like the Bucks with me. The more you ask,

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the more it starts to unravel. Great on paper, you

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>peel back the onion and you're like, Oh, I don't

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>know if I can date this guy or girl. What

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>are these red flags? With the Bucks? Let's start with

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the big one. Adrian Griffin's the big one. I don't

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>trust him. Where did he come from? Who is he?

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Why is he here? Like, I don't know on a

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>night to night basis. I'm not sure why Adrian grim

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>was hired. I think it was because Giannis wanted him

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and he hadn't signed an extension yet. But he's a problem.

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's not really because he's a first time head coach.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about that. Really, you can be good.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Imy Udoka, first time head coach. I immediately thought, this

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>guy's got his stuff together. He's he's not playing around.

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>He's got these young men playing like dogs. Before the

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>season even began, Adrian Griffin had already gotten into a

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 1>scuffle with a long time beloved eleven year head coach

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that his new superstar had as his coach for the

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>first eleven years of his career. There and that guy

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>who was reunited with his prodigal son after being fired

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>said yeah, no, I'm not gonna deal with this bullshit.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of here. You can go ahead and go

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>on your own. Dames head coach Terry Starks ran the

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>best offense in the NBA for many many years. He's

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>not the best defensive coach. We know that. That's why

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>he got fired. But he up and quit because you

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>yelled at him in the middle of practice. You wanted

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to dress him down. Secondly, the defense has fallen from

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>number one, number two in the league to bottom five.

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's not because Drew Holliday's gone. They still have

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.839
<v Speaker 1>three All NBA players All NBA defensive players on this team.

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>You got Jiannis Defensive Player of the Year, you got

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Brook Lopez finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, and

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>then you've got Bobby Portis who's also on the All

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Team defense. Get miss me with the fact that, like

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Drew Holiday leaves and you just fall off a cliff defensively,

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>no shots There's been multiple coups staged on this team already.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>You had one. I think maybe it was a weekend

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>where they became the worst defense in the NBA and

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, brook Lops is like, no, you're

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>not about to have me on the floor where I am.

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>We're giving up too many baskets. At the rim, Adrian

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Griffin had to come out and say, my players took

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>control of the defense. They changed it on me on

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the fly, and I have complied they that is a coup.

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They have staged a straight coup, and now they're kind

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of running like the last offense that their last defense

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that Boodenholder ran. But Bootenholder is no longer there, so

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure what's going on. The second red

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>flag is they have no idea what to do. In

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the last two minutes of the game, they were up

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Indiana Pacers. It was a tight back and forth,

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and then they decided that even though they had gotten

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a guy whose nickname is based upon his clutch play,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Dame Time, that guy doesn't deserve to have the ball anymore.

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Dame Time. That's first quarter game. Sorry. No, Instead, Chris Middleton,

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>instead of giving day the ball. He decides to give

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball to Malik Beasley. He decides no, no, I

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>got this and proceeds to not got this. He turns

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball over and at that point that was night Night,

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Sleep Mask. They have a very competitive game. Then they

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>lose by ten. The Bucks offense fell completely apart in

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. Pacers outscored them thirty seven twenty five

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth. It is so bad right now that

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Portis, Bobby Portis is going in and going ape

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>shit on Adrian Griffin to quote unquote passionately let him

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>know we need some more offensive structure late in games.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>How do we know this Well, it was reported by

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Haynes, who is Chris Haynes's best friend Damian Lillard.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>So Dame's not happy with the way the offense is running, obviously,

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>or if he felt differently, he probably wouldn't have leaked

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that story out. You got leaks coming out. You got

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Portis mad at Adrian Griffin. You got Dame telling

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Giannis at the end of the game, it's me and

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you and Jannis walking away. What is happening with the

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Yannis Dame pick and roll that we thought was going

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to be ran like Baraka in Mortal Kombat with the

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>uppercut sweep. Uppercut sweep. We thought that was gonna be

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 1>the most potent combination in the league. It's not really

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>even being run. Here's the depth. You have to roll

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>with aj Green, a man from Iowa, Northern Iowa, out

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>here chasing threes. Your biggest hope is that he turns

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>into Grayson Allen. This team is kind of fucked. I

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>am getting a little concerned. We're a quarterway through the

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 1>season and I'm not really ready to panic yet because

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You've got a team that's second in the East. They

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>got I think, one of the best offenses in the league.

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But if you if you told me you could either

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>have Joe Missula or Adrian Griffin, I would probably take

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Joe Missula. And if you're podcast listener, a longtime podcast listener,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you know how I feel about Joe Missula. I don't.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't like Adriene Griffin and I don't

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>think Dame does either. All that to say, what the

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>fuck is up with the Milwaukee
