Win In 6 Podcast #50: No Rest For The Wicked, Milwaukee Bucks Politics And 90’s Basketball

In the latest edition of our Milwaukee Bucks’ Win In 6 Podcast, we discuss a number of hot button topics that have been upsetting Bucks fans over the past seven days.

It’s that time of week again, as our team gets together to discuss the latest Milwaukee Bucks’ news and most important conversation points in our “Win In 6 Podcast”!

Before we get into the content of this week’s podcast, I feel like it’s important to acknowledge the landmark this episode marks for us. This is the 50th edition of Win In 6, something which is certainly tough for all of us involved to believe.

Over that time our listenership has grown, and although we’re never going to be one of the most listened to podcasts out there, the incredible loyalty of those who listen and engage with us every week is incredible.

Now that all of that is out of the way, let’s get down to the really important business at hand, our beloved Milwaukee Bucks.

It’s been a tumultuous week for the team, and one that has seemed to create an increasing anger in some corners of the fanbase as it has progressed.

This isn’t the time to get down, the Bucks future is still incredibly bright and that hasn’t really changed recently. Saying that, it is important that as a fanbase, those who love the Bucks are open to casting a critical eye at what’s playing out in front of them. For the organization this may be even more important as there aren’t many quicker ways to get better than by learning from your own mistakes.

One thing’s for sure, you won’t find us ducking issues.

First up on the agenda we discuss what we’ve seen on the court from the Bucks, with a particular focus (for the third straight week if my memory serves me right) on minutes and rest. Take tanking out of the equation for a moment and ask what do the Bucks have to gain from having their young stars play heavy minutes in meaningless games?

We discuss the absurdity of recent rest decisions.

Dating back to around the trade deadline we’ve now heard reports of unrest or division within the ownership ranging from sources as diverse as Adrian Wojnarowski to Gery Woelfel. We question why these rumors continue to linger, and talk about the hypothetical fallouts if any of the rumors were proven to be true.

Last but certainly not least for our main topics, we discuss style of play following on from Jason Kidd‘s recent “90’s basketball” comments.

As usual, we look forward to what’s to come for the Bucks this week, except this time our attention can only turn to a single game as the Bucks prepare to wrap up their season against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Throughout the season, on top of discussing the key topics and stories surrounding the Bucks that you’ll find in our many articles right here on the site, the podcast will also act as a platform for us to dive into greater detail on the games from the week gone by and the games coming up in the week ahead.

As such, we all need to be held accountable for our predictions!

Our podcast guests make predictions for the outcome and margin of victory for every Bucks game of the week, and we’ll keep track of them in order to find out who is the wisest of our Behind the Buck Pass team.

Feel free to join in with your own predictions in the comments below too.

Joining me for all of this are regular podcast contributors, making up the same trio who appeared on our very first episode, managing editor Ti Windisch and staff writer Jordan Treske.
