Gyro Step: Covering all things Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks played a shockingly fun back-to-back this week, routing the Dallas Mavericks before pushing the Houston Rockets to the brink despite all of Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner sitting out and Gary Trent Jr. getting hurt in the first half. Ousmane Dieng was the stand-out star in Houston, outplaying Kevin Durant and posting a career high scoring game despite a tough night shooting beyond the arc. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how encouraging the Ous game was and how much he might make this summer before diving into a couple other standouts including Pete Nance, Cormac Ryan, and Jericho Sims.

The Milwaukee Bucks seem to have fully embraced the tank, ruling out not just Giannis Antetokounmpo but most of their usual rotation against the Clippers on Sunday. Will Milwaukee win another game, and what did we see from players like Gary Trent Jr. and Jericho Sims on Sunday? Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti answer those questions and give an update on the Bucks draft pick outlook via Tankathon before diving into their second 2026 NBA Draft segment: is Darryn Peterson going to save or doom whichever franchise drafts him? There are some concerning questions, but the upside is clear too. Also, why is nobody talking about the fact that the 2026 NBA Draft day is still TBD?!?

The Milwaukee Bucks played against the Soviet Union in a historic tournament back in 1987. The story of that tournament and the central character who made it happen and helped introduce the greatest international players in the world to the NBA, culminating in players like Giannis Antetokounmpo being the league's brightest stars, was told by Bucks+ in a great podcast series. Ti Windisch sat down with Monis Khan, editor-in-chief of Bucks+, to ask a bunch of questions about Bucks vs the World, including editing and production decisions, working with Charlie Berens as the narrator, the best interviews and craziest moments, and more. Be sure to listen to Bucks vs the World wherever you listen to podcasts! The Bucks house band in the 1980s was called Streetlife, formerly Sweetbottom, for those wondering.

The Milwaukee Bucks got thumped by the Portland Trail Blazers late on Wednesday night but we're leaving here with something: Ryan Rollins bounced back from a 2/8 start to record a career-high 36 points, and Andre Jackson Jr. suddenly decided to start trying to poster dunk all over centers when he has the ball which is a HUGE development for him. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss the play of those two in particular before diving into the team waiving Cam Thomas to sign Pete Nance to a great value deal, and quickly covering the dumb Giannis Antetokounmpo drama from a NBPA statement this week.

The Milwaukee Bucks won without Giannis Antetokounmpo over the weekend, beating the Phoenix Suns on the back of a gutsy Ryan Rollins performance. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti break down Rollins' game, Gary Trent Jr.'s re-emergence into Milwaukee's rotation, the strong play of Kyle Kuzma, and more about the win over the Suns on the latest Gyro Step. They then start their 2026 NBA Draft scouting report series with AJ Dybantsa, who both hosts agree is the best prospect in the draft and a uniquely great fit on this Bucks roster.

The Milwaukee Bucks seem to have finally drawn a line in the sand with Giannis Antetokounmpo, as Bucks owner Wes Edens bluntly stated the organization will have to trade Giannis if he doesn't extend his contract this offseason. Ti Windisch breaks down why this is a big deal even if that should have been an obvious approach and then highlights why he thinks the Bucks loss to the Utah Jazz last night was the new low point for the Doc Rivers Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks surprisingly stuck with the Cleveland Cavaliers for 48 minutes on Tuesday night, ultimately losing but seeing strong performances from most young players on the roster in the process. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti open by discussing the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo is out at least a week with a knee hyperextension and bone bruise before talking about some of the standout Bucks in this game: Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, Ousmane Dieng, and PETE NANCE!

Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly posted a triple-double in the Milwaukee Bucks win against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday but tweaked his knee on a dunk. Giannis says its hyperextended and that he doesn't need imaging, but the Bucks are crazy if they let him play with any sort of issue in his knees, calf, or anywhere else really. Ti Windisch and the triumphantly returned Rohan Katti break down the need to protect Giannis from himself and the recent surge for Ryan Rollins being a rare bright spot for the Bucks before going down rabbit holes in Bucks history, including which franchise legends have the best chance of scoring as much as Bam Adebayo did this week plus which Bucks have had the most win shares in franchise history. They also celebrated Taurean Prince's return and were wowed by Jericho Sims' accuracy.

Topics include Giannis not fully trusting Ryan Rollins and Rollins' uneven season, the emergence of Ousmane Dieng, other reasons to watch the Bucks besides those two young guys, AJ Green's rough stretch, Kyle Kuzma's emergence, Dieng's free agency outlook and more.

The Milwaukee Bucks split a weekend back-to-back, winning against the Utah Jazz on Saturday with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing and getting smoked the next night vs the Orlando Magic with Giannis out. Ti Windisch went solo pod mode to break down the performances over the weekend, with Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, and Myles Turner struggling, and the injury updates, including Kevin Porter Jr.'s knee swelling getting an official name and Kyle Kuzma sitting out Sunday with a scary sounding contusion. What's the point of watching the Bucks given it seems they're stuck between reaching a play-in spot and getting a top 5-7 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft? Well, we got Ousmane Dieng!

The Milwaukee Bucks organization needs a fresh start from the current front office and coaching leadership, as the lack of cohesion between Jon Horst's moves and Doc Rivers' coaching continues to plague Milwaukee even with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in action. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the latest brutal loss at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks, a crucial game for play-in standings, plus agree the Bucks are not shadow tanking. They also cover how Giannis looked in the Atlanta game vs the Boston one when he returned on Monday, Doc's insane huge lineups, Ousmane Dieng's emergence and more.

The Milwaukee Bucks got outscored 69-31 in the second half against a Chicago Bulls team that took an entire calendar month off of winning basketball games to blow a double digit lead in Chicago and fall three games behind the play-in picture. Suffice it to say Ti WIndisch and Rohan Katti were not thrilled by this result. They ranted about every single Buck coming off as losers in the embarrassing display and how Doc Rivers has lost the team in yet another game. Jon Horst was not spared some blame either. Finally, they discussed the signing of Cormac Ryan to a two-way contract and went through some stats from the early Bud years just to feel something.
