Ep 764Ousmane Dieng showcases high-level talent vs Rockets

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.

Ep 763The Bucks embrace the tank and we debate Darryn Peterson

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?!?

Ep 762Inside insight on Bucks vs the World podcast series

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.

Ep 761Ryan Rollins career high plus Andre Jackson Jr did WHAT

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.

Ep 760Ryan Rollins shines vs Suns; AJ Dybantsa scouting report

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.

Ep 759Bucks owner declares Giannis will be traded if he doesn't sign extension

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.

Ep 758Young Bucks show out but lose to Cavs in perfect tank game

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!

Ep 757Giannis hurts his knee and should be shut down by Bucks

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.

Ep 756Sad/weird Giannis game plus deep dives on Bucks best young players

The Milwaukee Bucks had a fun first half against the Phoenix Suns before a second half meltdown that saw franchise star Giannis Antetokounmpo seemingly unable to move defensively. Gyro Step host Ti Windisch welcomed Bucks_Breakdown, cohost of the Bucks University pod and Twitter film clip expert, to discuss the weird post-injury Giannis half and a ton more. 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.

Ep 754Bucks stuck in middle between play-in and top lottery pick

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!

Ep 753Giannis returns but aimless Bucks keep losing

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.

Ep 752Bucks take generational L vs tanking Bulls

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.

Ep 751Jericho Sims powers Bucks to back to back wins (!!)

The Milwaukee Bucks swept their back-to-back this week against the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, and a huge part of both wins was Jericho Sims who has been crushing it. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss Sims and the wins after an all-over-the-place first segment including TV and Dominayton, and also agree that the Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins backcourt just seems to work. They also criticize coaching, as is tradition.

Ep 750Bucks optimism fades as Raptors roll in Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks took care of business against some bad and shorthanded teams recently but couldn't keep that streak alive against a Toronto Raptors squad without franchise player Scottie Barnes, losing handily at home with most of the roster unable to operate vs Toronto's ball pressure. Kevin Porter Jr. was the one exception, but KPJ couldn't lift the Bucks offense by himself. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the dispiriting loss and how it sets them up to dread how Milwaukee may look in a tough week of games against the Heat, Cavaliers, and Knicks this week. They also debate when Giannis Antetokounmpo will return. To close the episode, Ti and Rohan discuss Wayne Embry and all that he accomplished as a player, basketball decision maker, and business executive as Black History Month comes to a close. Embry is a true trail blazer and a Bucks icon who certainly deserves all of the honors he has received and then some, and someone who every Bucks fan should know about.

Ep 749Who should the Bucks protect in NBA expansion draft?

NBA expansion has been a hot topic around the Association this month and we could be getting new teams in the next few years. If the Milwaukee Bucks had to protect eight players this summer, which seven plus Giannis Antetokounmpo should Jon Horst prioritize? Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti debate the selections on this Gyro Step, and also cover some more uncomfortable Giannis quotes from Euro Hoops. Yes, they are still protecting him from the expansion draft even if the quotes are getting old! Unsurprisingly, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis were big topics of discussion given their polarizing play and league-wide value.

Ep 748Giannis makes All-Star weekend fun even without playing

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in the All-Star game this year, but Giannis still impacted the entire weekend. Unlike some other stars, Giannis embraces being a face of the league and he and his sons were a fixture on the court and in some fun media moments including exchanges with Damian Lillard, Steph Curry, Shams Charania, and the officials. Also, the actual game and events this year were mostly good! Even if the 200 influencers didn't actually influence anybody and Bobby Portis ended up taking last in the three-point shootout.Also for whatever reason Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti brought a ton of food takes to this week's episode. I guess this is what a long weekend and no Bucks basketball until Friday does to you.

Ep 747Ousmane Dieng is the wing the Bucks have desperately needed

The Milwaukee Bucks won two straight games going into the NBA All-Star Break, both on the road against the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder. Milwaukee's new players were the biggest factors, with Cam Thomas pouring it in vs Orlando and Ousmane Dieng leading a balanced Bucks attack that dominated the Thunder on Thursday.Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how Dieng has filled the wing need that Milwaukee has struggled with since Khris Middleton's injury decline, the coaching staff correctly utilizing Thomas in a sixth man role, the improved passing and defense the younger Bucks have displayed, and how Milwaukee could make a run into the meat of the Eastern Conference play-in race with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning soon. Plus Ti proposes a solution to tanking and the hosts cover Bobby Portis' three-point contest hopes.

The Milwaukee Bucks kept their strong play rolling for the first half against the Orlando Magic on Monday but fell apart in the third quarter and ultimately got blown out. Cam Thomas made his Bucks debut and so did Ousmane Dieng, and Bobby Portis recorded zero rebounds before talking about the importance of rebounding as a team after the game.Ti Windisch was joined by Justin Garcia of the Bucks Radio Network and Locked on Bucks podcast to discuss the loss to Orlando, the Bucks somewhat odd deadline moves, them buying into Milwaukee's play-in push after the three-game win streak, and Milwaukee's overall lack of a cohesive identity.

Ep 745Giannis isn't bleeping leaving despite boring Bucks trade deadline

The Milwaukee Bucks had a snoozer of an NBA Trade Deadline, acquiring Ousmane Dieng and Nigel Hayes-Davis for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, but that didn't deter Giannis Antetokounmpo from posting the "I'm not *bleeping* leaving" scene from Wolf of Wall Street right after the deadline passed! Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti react to Giannis' post and decode what it really means, plus talk about the low impact trade the Bucks made and their disappointment with the lack of assets Milwaukee gathered. Then they broke down what if anything to expect from Dieng, buyout options like Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith, and Khris Middleton, and some of the other wild trades around the NBA.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti break down some of the juiciest quotes from Giannis plus small updates on the outlook of another team trading for him on this bonus Gyro Step, and then cover Milwaukee's shockingly fun rout of the Bulls on Tuesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks leapt out to a 12-0 lead vs the Boston Celtics on Sunday and then got smoked for the next 45 minutes, losing 107-79 in the latest lifeless display of basketball. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss if and when the Bucks will actually win another basketball game and the one bright spot generally and on Sunday, Ryan Rollins. With the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, there's also a ton of trade slop to cover. Ti and Rohan discuss the two non-Bucks trades that took place over the weekend before covering new rumors. We heard that Giannis' camp would like a trade to happen pre-deadline, that the Bucks are submitting counter-offers to teams chasing Giannis, and that Milwaukee is also looking into taking bad contracts in exchange for draft picks.

Ep 742Debating whether the Bucks trade Giannis before the deadline

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time ever. With Giannis also open to a new home, does this mean that the Bucks will lose their homegrown superstar in the next six days? For once, Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti do not agree. The Gyro Step cohosts go through the background and reporting in great detail first, breaking down every proposed Giannis suitor and whether they could realistically swing a trade for the Greek Freak. Then Ti and Rohan debate if Giannis will actually be moved in the next six days before Thursday's deadline.

Ep 741Bucks lose Myles Turner breakout game but rise in tank standings

The Milwaukee Bucks couldn't defend the Philadelphia 76ers at all on Tuesday night, losing 139-122 despite a Bucks-high 31 points from Myles Turner. The loss was productive at least, as it rose Milwaukee to seventh on the tank standings, all but guaranteeing a top 10 pick for the Bucks. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti broke down some choice quotes after the game, all of which painted Doc Rivers in a bad light. Quote topics include being unable to guard Paul George in 2026, for not involving Turner, and for slandering Giannis Antetokounmpo indirectly. They then discussed the mentality challenge of rooting for losses, seeing players succeed offensively, rooting for Ryan Rollins development, and more.

Ep 740Time for Bucks to embrace the gap year and tank

The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for several more weeks, although we're still waiting on actual MRI results on his self-diagnosed calf strain. Regardless, the silver lining of another injury to Giannis is the clarity it offers the Bucks on their current situation: Milwaukee needs to embrace the gap year they've been thrust into. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti clarify what that means: not obsessing over every win when a loss would help the Bucks lottery position, but instead trying to use the trade deadline to gain draft assets and maximizing minutes for young players or those under contract for future seasons. Adding a top 10 pick plus any other future assets will put the Bucks in the best position possible to retool around Giannis -- or to rebuild without him.

Ep 739Giannis calls out 'selfish' Bucks after thrashing by Thunder

The Milwaukee Bucks went down by 20 in the first quarter at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder and ended up losing by the same margin, prompting Giannis Antetokounmpo to refer to his teammates as playing "selfish" after the game. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti dissect Giannis' latest comments and discuss what was a wacky rotation by Doc Rivers, including Gary Harris starting and then just not playing again following Milwaukee's rough first quarter. They go over some troubling numbers and why its not just the faults of players like Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma that the offense is off, but also connected to the Bucks' archaic offense.

Ep 738Major rotation changes spark Bucks win (barely)

The Milwaukee Bucks snapped their ugly losing streak on Monday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, beating the Atlanta Hawks 112-110 despite holding a 23-point lead at one point. Still, with Giannis Antetokounmpo's usual greatness plus a spark from Pete Nance, Doc Rivers managed to pull some levers. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the new-look starting five, which featured Kyle Kuzma in for Kevin Porter Jr., plus Nance getting Gary Trent Jr.'s minutes which helped the bench actually outperform the starters for once. They also did a random Thon Maker deep dive, because why not.

Ep 737Bucks blowout vs depleted Wolves proves Doc Rivers has to go

The Milwaukee Bucks have a lot of problems as evidenced by their thrashing by a Minnesota Timberwolves team without Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert on Tuesday night, but the biggest and easiest to solve is finding a new head coach. Doc Rivers seemed to lose the team entirely on Tuesday and has no answer to the non-Giannis Antetokounmpo minutes, citing dead legs and a tough travel schedule as reasons for the loss. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti walk through just how bad things have gotten for the Bucks, their answer for who should be coach if/when Rivers is fired, wonder why there isn't more buzz about him being on the hot seat, and then discuss how sad it is for Giannis to get boo'd and for fans to earnestly believe the Bucks should trade him because they're so far from contention.

The Milwaukee Bucks didn't get enough contributions outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday night, losing to a Denver Nuggets team down four starters and remaining firmly outside of the Eastern Conference Play-In. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the dispiriting loss and how Kevin Porter Jr and Ryan Rollins in particular struggled before getting to the latest NBA trade rumors, this time from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Jim Owczarski, involving the Bucks interest in Ja Morant and Zach LaVine. Could Morant, despite his poor shooting, help the Bucks win more or at least stay afloat in the non-Giannis minutes? Plus if the Bucks do trade for a guard, how will they fill out their wing rotation?

Ep 733Should the Bucks trade for Trae Young or Michael Porter Jr.?

There's a lot going on in the world of the Milwaukee Bucks right now. This Gyro Step opens with news that the Bucks moved on from longtime business-side president Peter Feigin, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss what that news actually means. They then move onto the Bucks win against the Sacramento Kings and the Bucks run of wins lately, despite the slumping AJ Green. Milwaukee's schedule out West is likely going to be softer than it appeared with some key injuries to the Lakers and especially Nuggets. Finally, with less than one month until the NBA Trade Deadline and news that the Atlanta Hawks are working with Trae Young to find him a new home, Ti and Rohan discussed if a Trae trade is worthwhile before bouncing around other trade targets. They ultimately land on their current favorite big-time target: Michael Porter Jr. GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!

Ep 730Ryan Rollins' role reduced as Bucks blow lead in Minnesota

The Milwaukee Bucks enjoyed a great first half against the Minnesota Timberwolves to start their road trip on Sunday but lost the entire lead in the third quarter and ultimately lost the game 103-100 in Minnesota. Doc Rivers played Ryan Rollins less than 10 minutes in the first half and less than 23 minutes overall despite Rollins playing well and only committing one foul, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti started out the episode breaking down how bad of a decision that was. They then covered Giannis Antetokounmpo's weird press availability on Thursday and how disheartening it was, before discussing potential Giannis suitors and if he will be traded. They also touch on the news that the Bucks are still buying, and whether a trade is worth it if the coaching staff remains as is.

Ep 724Giannis trade and injury news plus positive Pistons win!

The Milwaukee Bucks had one hell of a Wednesday, dealing with Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, a game against the East's top team, and then seeing Giannis go down just three minutes into that game against the Detroit Pistons.
