Deer Diaries: A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast Brew Hoop

It wasn't close, then it was, and then it turned to ashes late. The Milwaukee Bucks fought back from a big first quarter deficit in an exhilarating 118-121 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers, and Riley goes solo to provide an instant reaction. How much worse can Bobby Portis get? Where does the team go if Damian Lillard is too banged up to play on Sunday? Khris Middleton gets his flowers and more in this game three breakdown.

When the Milwaukee Bucks fall apart on the court, the Deer Diaries A-Team is there to strew through the rubble! Riley, Kyle, and Adam hopped into the studio 45 seconds after Milwaukee's 108-125 Game Two defeat to the Indiana Pacers to figure out what the hell just happened. Did Jae Crowder just have the worst game of his career? Can someone else help pick up the slack that isn't named Damian Lillard? Brook Lopez's Silver Linings Playbook?!?! All that and more on the latest Instant Reaction podcast.

In the debut of a new and exciting sub-series of Deer Diaries (A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast!) recordings, Riley rode solo to provide his instant reaction to the Milwaukee Bucks 109-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers in game one of the NBA playoffs.

He reviews Damian Lillard's torrid first half (and an extremely quiet second), Khris Middleton the straw stirring the drink, Bobby Portis and Patrick Beverly making differences on both ends of the floor, and what to look out for in game two on Tuesday.

With the 2024 NBA Playoffs just around the corner, Riley and Michael were happy to host Tom Lewis of Indy Cornrows to help us preview the Milwaukee Bucks-Indiana Pacers series. We cover a range of topics from where the Pacers have been since these teams last played in January, updates on Tyrese Halliburton, Pascal Siam, and Myles Turner, how Rick Carlisle's principles of play have changed over the season, Pacer fans' expectations, and much more!

Note: Riley had trouble with his audio, so that track was edited out with post-recording lines placed in to keep the heart of Tom's contributions and to avoid interrupting the flow of the conversation.

With the 2023-2024 Milwaukee Bucks regular season at a close, Riley, Kyle, and Adam got together for a season send-off show for the ages. The staff of Brew Hoop have cast their votes and the results are in: We proudly present to listeners of Deer Diaries our inaugural winners of the "Golden Hoof Awards". From bench players most likely to be starters next season to worst losses of the season, from players most likely to actually read Brew Hoop to those who had the best year for someone aged 33+, the committee covered it all.



Without further ado, the Golden Hoofs.

When the Milwaukee Bucks go astray, the Deer Diaries Podcast crew shall play. Fresh off an 0-4 week for the ages, Riley, Kyle, and Jackson assembled to - you guessed it - log some complaints against the team. Can the Bucks find joy in the current moment? How do you find ways to win when there seems to be a leadership vacuum? Will a midnight oil-burning session between Doc Rivers and his nine favorite players lead to Milwaukee's salvation? They discuss that and go one further to offer the team constructive suggestions on small changes that could have a positive impact. Plus rapid fire, the latest edition of Jackson's Build, Kyle takes a trip down Adam Sandler Lane with "The Wrong Missy", predictions, and more!
