Some interesting Bucks takes on the TL this Friday morning.
I truly don’t understand people saying to get rid of Middleton tho…Giannis/Dame/Khris is what you try to retool around.
New Locked on Bucks with YOUR NEW HOSTS

👏👏👏👏
We chat through early signs from the Giannis and Dame combo, before moving into a longer conversation on the preseason play of MarJon Beauchamp!

Bucks fans are taking this Miami Heat victory lap a bit too early for my liking.
It’s a 2-0 series which is definitely the start we’d hope for but...the series ain’t over yet. We still have two more games to win.
This is going to open the door for some people to be weird about Jrue having feelings.
Jrue wanted to be a Buck for life and was caught off guard by the trade. Human emotions. Nothing wrong with him feeling a type of way about how the situation was handled.
Jrue Holiday wasn’t a fan of how Milwaukee handled the Dame trade

There’s a group of young boys, like ages 12-17 who call themselves the Kia Boys. They steal Kia’s in the city and race em. It’s a little documentary about them on YouTube and it’s wild. They’ve had the city moving different.
Seeing people enjoy my takes or at the very least, what I bring to sports discourse never ceases to amaze me.
Like I kinda jumped out of the window by leaving my 9-5 job to start taking this more seriously. Thankful for the opportunity…now I gotta keep hustling.
My mom be sharing all of my podcast posts. Liking and commenting on everything. Reposting it to her story.
And she does this without knowing what a most of it means lol. She doesn’t even listen to podcasts but she’s proud and supporting in her own way.
Means the world.
@DuncanSmithNBA
Right. It’s draining. Especially given the fact that Perk was calling Giannis the “Robin” to Middleton’s “Batman” like last week…now he’s the most dominant guy out here. Make it make sense 😂
Yeaaaaaaah!
Aaron’s been one of my favorite media personalities for years and now I’m doing a whole Packers podcast with him. Life is crazy.
I’m so excited to start up this pod.
#CarryTheG
As I said on Transplants tonight, I am THRILLED to announce that I'll be co-hosting a brand new podcast with
@CamilleMonae
on
@cheeseheadtv
this season talking all things Green and Gold, each and every week. Carry The G In MKE coming your way in a few weeks.
There was a time where players had to be in a LA or NYC type of market to launch something like this.
Times have changed and I’m happy that Giannis is able to explore various types of charitable, business and production ventures while being a star for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Proud to announce the launch of
@ImprobableMedia
with my family and our first feature length production. It’s the true story about me and my family’s journey and I can’t wait to share it with you. Premieres February 19th on
@PrimeVideo
🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’ve been buying into this concept while watching the Bucks this season (and Denver last season).
This conversation was outstanding. The full 20-minute convo is worth your time. Great conversation about WHY it’s so much harder to play defense now.
“The notion that you have to be this team that’s suffocating and just locked down to shut you down defensively … I just don’t think you need to have that to win a championship now.”
Watch
@LegsESPN
talk about defense in today’s NBA:
I’m so amazed at how quickly a deal can come together right at the open of NBA free agency.
Wow. Thank goodness for such stringent anti-tampering rules.
Free agent G Gary Trent Jr. has agreed on a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, Rich Paul and Lucas Newton of
@klutchsports
tell ESPN. Trent reunites with Damian Lillard and joins a Bucks organization that recruited him hard to chase a title with them.
He was really a kid here and now we’re seeing him with his kids.
It’s been (and continues to be) a pleasure to watch Giannis hoop for my city. The way Milwaukee rocks with GA is different.
Just realized that I cracked the 4,000 followers mark on here 🤯
And for the most part, everyone I interact with on here is cool like the other side of the pillow lol. Appreciate the follows.
“Bucks in clutch time: 2nd offense, 8th defense” 👀
Another extension of how well the Giannis and Dame pairing complements each other. With what Dame can do offensively and what Giannis can do defensively…man.
Looking through some Bucks stats...
- Bucks
#1
in FT attempts (Dame 9.5 per game, Jrue was 2.6 with Bucks)
- Dame: had ball for 5.7 mins per game first 4 games, up to 7.6 last 2 games
- Dame ranks 82nd in shots per 100 poss.. should be top 30 at least
- Khris 8/11 on midrange..
Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Shout out to the Point God,

Before my husband, I never dated anyone longer than a year. But I’ve been with this guy for 10 years. Celebrating 8 years of marriage tomorrow.
Feels surreal to me at times. Marrying him was one the best decisions I’ve ever made.
My little brother, Tyrone Randle, was ran over last night while peacefully protesting here in Milwaukee (MLK and Locust).
MPD decided to disperse the crowd and in order to do that, cops in full riot gear charged at the crowd.
Happy the Bucks went after Payne instead of Bullock.
Bucks had a big need for backup PG and he fits that positional need. Also, not signing Bullock keeps the door open for some more MarJon/Andre minutes. I want to see what the young Bucks can do.
I can understand that Milwaukee doesn’t have the same appeal as a Miami, LA, New York, etc. but we’re not “a terrible city.”
ESPECIALLY in the summer. Summertime Milwaukee is beautiful. Regardless, I don’t really care. I just want to win a championship.
What a joke this is
@FirstTake
, you guys are hating on these “terrible cities” even though you guys were fine going to Cleveland for 5 straight years?!
@stephenasmith
@maxkellerman
I’m still watching but
@Bucks
, y’all snapped on this Game 6 All-Access. Really, y’all been going crazy all season.
If y’all put all of these All-Access videos from the season together onto a blu-ray/DVD with some bonus content…you can just take my money right now.
Bears-Packers being on CBS is something that doesn’t sit right with me.
I know they’ve changed the rules but I still view CBS as the AFC channel and FOX the NFC channel.
So it’s cool for George Karl to write a book discussing his 40 years of surviving “NBA divas” but former players can’t discuss stuff on podcasts?
Yeah. Iight.
Hey
@carmeloanthony
let’s not do this. You’re telling stories that are 20 years old. Let’s move fwd 💪
And u were overrated and u wish your game was as efficient as Detlef’s. 😆
Per , Khris Middleton had the best midrange FG% (58.5%) of ANY PLAYER—min 150 FGA—in the database (since ‘96-‘97)
All-time midrange season getting even better in the playoffs. Magical stuff…
Yaaaaasss! I was just talking about how I missed the UPN days of the Bucks. This is only 10 games, but that’s a quarter of their remaining games which is dope.
Making the games more accessible to fans in the area is always a W.
Also. I love the boo’ing from Indy with Dame getting MVP.
Love that they wanted it for their guy, especially with how the games between the Bucks and Pacers have been for this season. That little rivalry feeling. Here for it all.
Question from
@ByAndrewWagner
: You could win anywhere, but why here? And why did you want to stay here so much?
"I can't turn my back. Not now, not in the future, not never. And I want to be committed, I want to give back to the city of Milwaukee." -
@Giannis_An34
Full quote:
Bucks forward Bobby Portis was asked about the physicality, trash talking and technical fouls tonight and whether he felt that was the Pacers way of getting themselves going on the road.
Here was his response:
If you would’ve told me five years ago that I’d be on an episode of Locked on Bucks, I wouldn’t have believed you lol.
Thanks again,
@KanePitman
for having me on the pod. Had a great time.
