Win In 6 Podcast #175: Underachieving at the season’s halfway mark
By Adam McGee
In the latest episode of our Milwaukee Bucks podcast, we take stock of the team’s underwhelming standing as they move into the second half of the year.
The latest episode of our Win In 6 Podcast arrives as the Milwaukee Bucks have passed the halfway point in the season and did so in rather underwhelming fashion.
Following on from a particularly awful performance in a loss to the Miami Heat, the Bucks have a record of 22-20, find themselves in eighth place in the East, and are increasingly within range of the likes of the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers behind them.
In a season that has already included real high moments and flashes of just how good the Bucks can be when they put it all together, it’s hard to feel anything other than frustration at how the season is shaping up overall, and even more specifically about how they continue to fall back into long-time pitfalls.

With all of that in mind, we discussed the season to date, and what seems realistic for the Bucks from this point forward.
Also on this week’s slate, we dived a little deeper into some of Khris Middleton‘s struggles and the share of blame that is warranted for those less than stellar moments he has occasionally produced this year.
We also talked about Sterling Brown‘s recent run of successful minutes and how puzzling it is that it took this long for him to get that opportunity.
Lastly, we looked at the upcoming schedule and made our predictions, as well as catching up with the Jack Bauer count.
Joining me for this episode, podcasting on an empty stomach, was Jordan Treske.
