Win In 6 Podcast #177: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury, playoff battle
By Adam McGee
In the latest episode of our Milwaukee Bucks podcast, we discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s knee, the team’s descent into a playoff battle, and more.
The latest episode of our Win In 6 Podcast arrives as much of the recent gloom surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks continues to linger.
Not only have the team continued to underwhelm with their performances, but they’ve done so against a backdrop of increasingly concerning bigger picture questions.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s knee, a potential battle for one of the East’s final playoff spots and trade deadline uncertainty all combine to make this an uncomfortable time for Bucks fans, and so we had plenty to talk about.

With all of that in mind, we discussed the decision to rest Giannis for two games and the somewhat contradictory elements of statements surrounding the decision.
Also on this week’s slate, we talked about how the Bucks are falling back into what could potentially be a real dogfight to make the playoffs in the East, and as much as people are reluctant to talk about it, they’re also in danger of losing their upcoming first round pick.
We also shared our thoughts on some of our gut feelings as the trade deadline rapidly approaches, and took a closer look at the situation the Bucks will find themselves in at that juncture.
Lastly, we looked at the upcoming schedule and made our predictions, as well as catching up with the Jack Bauer count.
