Hour 1: Post-Giannis Reality Check at Summerfest

Ben Brust hosts from Summerfest with Josh DiMaggio filling in for Kyle Wallace, who is away getting ready for his wedding. The guys work through the next stage of Giannis Antetokounmpo grief, reacting to Jim Owczarski’s reporting and how much the end of the Bucks era changed the way fans view Giannis. Ben lays out a harsh reality check with Milwaukee’s projected win total dropping into the mid-20s, while Josh wonders what success even looks like without Giannis. They search for positives in the Bucks’ reset, including Taylor Jenkins, no Doc Rivers, cheaper seats, and a roster with no expectations. The hour wraps with a chaotic Over/Under game on NBA franchise valuations and a tease of Bill Barnwell’s latest Packers ranking.
