Tomorrow, the Bucks will participate in the 40th Annual Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Fund Game against the Chicago Bulls. It will be their fourth preseason game, but more importantly the game will help raise money for the MACC Fund.
If you are interested in learning more about how Bucks announcers Jon McGlocklin and Eddie Doucette created the MACC Fund, go here. If you want to donate to the MACC Fund, go here. If you want to buy a ticket to the MACC Fund game, which will also get you a ticket to the Bucks home opener AND make a donation to the MACC Fund, go here.
The Bucks beat the Bulls 93-91 in their first preseason matchup this year, but the starters were rather unimpressive. It was the Bucks’ bench mob led by Matthew Dellavedova, Greg Monroe, and Michael Beasley (!) that brought the Bucks back into the game and gave them a lead. Frank and I discussed whether or not something like that might happen again on the latest Locked on Bucks podcast, in addition to answering listener questions:

After discussing the lineups we would like to see and some of the things we’ll be watching for on Saturday, we quickly moved to a Twitter mailbag.
(Editor’s note: We know we should do a better job of soliciting questions on here, but we often don’t plan mailbags out in advance so Twitter normally becomes our way to get questions in a hurry. So, if you ever want a question answered, ask us (@brewhoop and @eric_nehm) on Twitter. We don’t care about how long you’ve been on Twitter, whether you’re an egg, or if you even follow us. Just ask us Bucks questions and we’ll almost always answer.)
On to the questions...
Question 1:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm could Giannis eventually be a point 5 in the NBA?
— Alex Weiner (@Alex_Ween) October 14, 2016
Question 2:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm Talk about MCW putting out that twitter message and then host a giant brickfest after.
— Espen Vedå Skålnes (@espenvs) October 14, 2016
Question 3:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm I brought it up on RGM. Theoretical. If Brow and the Pels divorced would you do a Giannis/Brow based trade?
— Jacob Anderson (@jakecronus) October 14, 2016
Question 4:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm With the new rumor about an expansion being possible after the new CBA, who would you protect in an expansion draft.
— Dubisttot (@Dubisttot) October 14, 2016
Question 5:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm Should we assume anything about Vaughn and MCW from their putrid shooting this preseason? Lost causes?
— Eric Hanson (@EP_Hanson) October 14, 2016
Question 6:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm Is a MCW trade to pave the way for Brogdon?
— Shaun Watkins (@shaun_watkins) October 14, 2016
Question 7:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm in a Delly, Giannis, Jabari, Telly line up, what kind of plays/actions could the Bucks run?
— WombatIsTheBest (@wombat0289) October 14, 2016
Question 8:
@brewhoop @eric_nehm how often post-Giannis will be utilized as opposed to pick and roll/above the break crater-Giannis? Have a preference?
