Bucks-Pacers: Game Five (Less Than) Instant Reaction

Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast ·

2025/05/01

It's all over (yet again) for the Milwaukee Bucks. Their 2024-2025 campaign ends in sour fashion once more with a fitting comedy of errors in a 118-119 OT loss to the Indiana Pacers. Jackson and Morgan get together one last time for our final Instant Reaction podcast of this season and these playoffs to discuss where it all went wrong, the early reverberations from the defeat, and where it could lead the franchise moving forward.

Bucks-Pacers: Game Four Instant Reaction

Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast ·

2025/04/28

The Milwaukee Bucks now find themselves down 1-3 to the Indiana Pacers after losing Game Four at home, 129-103. But that buries a massive lede: Damian Lillard left the game with a non-contact injury that (as of this moment) looks likely to have been a torn Achilles.Where does that leave the team in this series? Was there anything from Game Four that can be built upon heading forward? And what is Kyle Kuzma doing out there, anyway?Riley, Jack, and Jackson put on their funereal garb in this edition of

Bucks-Pacers: Game Three Instant Reaction

Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast ·

2025/04/26

When the Milwaukee Bucks needed a boost in the worst way possible, who other than Gary Trent Jr. to answer the call? The veteran guard repaid Doc Rivers' confidence with 37 points in his first stint as a starter in a long while, helping Milwaukee defeat the Indiana Pacers, 117-101 to make the series 1-2. Kyle Carr and Van Fayaz got together post-game to talk GTJ's heroism, Giannis Antetokounmpo chugging along, whatever Kyle Kuzma is doing, and a flash of mettle from a Bucks team that

Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast ·

2025/04/19

The NBA Playoffs are officially underway for the Milwaukee Bucks, and they've started their journey on something of a sour note.

The Milwaukee Bucks 2024-2025 regular season is at a close, so it is the perfect time to sit back and reflect on what we just witnessed. Kyle, Van, and Riley gathered to chat about the team's strong finish to the season and how it sets them up for a first-round matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Everything flows through Giannis Antetokounmpo, but can the team find enough "second guys" to prevail? And what direction will Doc Rivers choose when selecting a closing lineup with so many

Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast ·

2025/04/01

What a difference a week makes. In the short span of seven days, the Bucks have sustained a four game losing streak, lost Damian Lillard indefinitely to a deep vein thrombosis diagnosis, and look set to be in a fight for their lives for the East's fifth seed. With instability plaguing the team on the court, Kyle, Adam, and Riley take a step back and assess where things go from here. Is this simply the reality of a team reaching the end of its competitive cycle in the most mundane ways possible?They

Thanks For Everything, Khris

2025/02/06

What had once seemed fantasy is now a reality: Khris Middleton is a Milwaukee Buck no more.It'd only be appropriate to memorialize his place in franchise history and what he meant as a pillar of the team over a decade-plus career in Milwaukee. Scorer, creator, and even a stout defender and iron man (82 starts in 2017-2018!), Khris has given us plenty of great memories which we enjoyed talking about tonight.

On this edition of Deer Diaries, Kyle and Adam review a Bucks week featuring some impressive wins leavened by a very lopsided loss to one of the top teams in the East.
