Khris Middleton is BACK but Bucks get swept by Celtics in Boston

Gyro Step Podcast Network: Covering all things Milwaukee Bucks

Khris Middleton made his return to action for the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, logging more than 22 minutes in a close loss to the Boston Celtics, who swept the season series 3-0. Ti Windisch and Numac sat down on Saturday morning to discuss Khris, who moved well despite missing most of his shots from the field.

Ti and Numac then broke down the need for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard to move the ball move and hunt advantages against teams as good as Boston, the issues the Bucks bigs (Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis) had against the Celtics and the need for other options vs relying on them both, role players like A.J. Green and Gary Trent Jr. playing well, lineup options for starters and throughout games with Khris back in action, and why Andre Jackson Jr. doesn’t get to play much in second halves. They concluded with a look at the Bucks schedule for the rest of the season, and why it's crucial to start another winning streak soon with the NBA Cup games and carry that into the hard part of the season in February and March.
