Will the Bucks regret the Eric Bledsoe extension?

The Milwaukee Bucks just lost three games in a row for the first time this season and are on the brink of elimination. Guard Eric Bledsoe, for the second year in a row in the playoffs, finds himself receiving scrutiny for his lackluster play. Despite scoring 20 points in Game 5, in the series against the Raptors he is only averaging 10.6 points per game, shooting 28.8 percent and is 4-of-26 (15.4 percent) on 3-pointers.

Because of these postseason struggles, does that mean his universally-lauded at the time extension (four-years, $70 million), was actually a mistake? Would the Bucks take it back if they could? Or is Bledsoe unfairly being targeting as Milwaukee struggles against a stiff Toronto defense?

On an all-new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, we debate that question, plus many other topics, such as:

Has Giannis Antetokounmpo been losing his patience? Is he on tilt?
Was Magic Johnson’s appearance on First Take clever and wily machinations or the continued bungling of his front office tenure?
How has Shaun Livingston been an unsung hero for the Warriors since Kevin Durant went down with injury?
If the Trail Blazers had not slipped to the 3 seed on the final night of the regular season, would Terry Stotts have gotten an extension?
What is your greatest NBA-related fear?
