11.28.2018: Should we be discouraged by two close losses?

The Milwaukee Bucks split their four most recent games, including two tough one-possession losses to Charlotte and Phoenix. Host JR Radcliffe asks Journal Sentinel beat reporter Matt Velazquez: is it OK to feel really bummed about the past week of play? Matt takes a look at the Bucks a quarter of the way into the season, examines if Giannis is the MVP frontrunner and analyzes where Thon Maker fits into the grand scheme.

Where does Giannis' crazy spin move against the Suns rank among his greatest plays ever, and my word, did Milwaukee really score 143 on the West-leading Blazers?

Matt also chats about his beard (and Thon Maker's thoughts on the topic), plus a call out to anyone willing and able to make a video featuring all of Ersan Ilyasova's drawn charges.
