The Milwaukee Bucks have taken control of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Atlanta Hawks, and NBA Senior Editor for The Athletic Rob Peterson -- who happens to be a Wisconsin native -- explains what it means for the area to see the Bucks potentially make it to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974. Peterson goes over how Khris Middleton has become the closer for this particular squad and his interchangeability with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our hosts Otto Strong and Bruce Bernstein (filling in for Aaron Berlin) also get Peterson to reflect on his growing up in Wisconsin as a Bucks fan, then eventually working for the team, and how cool the old Mecca court used to be.
