Last week, Frank picked the Milwaukee Bucks as a potential second half surprise team, and they did not give his prediction much clout with their performance last week. Will the Bucks continue to disappoint toward the end of the season, or will the young talents like Jabari Parker and the Greek Freak propel them to turn it around?
The hosts also must discuss where they were when the Steph Curry shot went in against the Thunder, and some teams they are looking forward to seeing tested come playoff time.
