00:00What I did not see, though, is how bad Milwaukee is, and is it me, Gilbert, or am I feeling

00:11like changes might be coming here at some point this season for this Bucs team?

00:17Because what else is there?

00:18It just feels like the depth isn't there, and outside of Giannis and Lillard, who are

00:23we counting on on this team?

00:26It's not just you, Joe.

00:27I think it's time to hit the panic button.

00:28We look at the numbers and talk about what they haven't been able to do on the defensive

00:33end.

00:34I know Chris Middleton is still coming back from those off-season injuries and hasn't

00:38played yet this season, but his absence is not the reason that they've played as poorly

00:42as they've played.

00:43I talked about the Cavs finding ways to win.

00:45The Bucs are finding ways to lose games.

00:47It feels like they've blown a couple games.

00:49They've lost a couple games that they shouldn't have lost, and that puts them in a really

00:53tough spot, because when you dig yourself this early of a hole, now you're just trying

00:59to get back to .500.

01:00I don't necessarily know if I can trust them to ring off five, six, seven wins in a row.

01:04You talk about defense.

01:05Damian Lillard is playing well offensively, but defensively, the answers aren't there.

01:10He and Gary Trent Jr.

01:11And Doc Rivers, he receives a lot of criticism, sometimes fair, sometimes unfair, but it feels

01:17like he doesn't have the answers for this team as well.

01:20So there's a lot of causes for concern with Milwaukee.
