Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks goes down tonight, and it features two of the NBA’s premiere players in the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo and our very own Kawhi Leonard.
But, the battle lines have already been drawn off the court before the series has even started!
Milwaukee radio station, 103.7 KISS FM have started up a #BreakFromDrake campaign, which will see the station cease playing any music from Drake until the end of the Bucks and Raptors series…
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Until the @Bucks beat the @Raptors – we are hereby taking a break from ALL #DRAKE music. We love us some Drake, but right now – we love the #Bucks more! #BreakFromDrake #FearTheDeer pic.twitter.com/kRAZQnGOWo

Well guys, two can play that game!
Roz & Mocha decided to do a little bit of research of their own to find out who the most popular artist from Milwaukee is that they could then ban on KiSS 92.5, which just happens to be…..Steve Miller Band?!
That’s right, the most popular artist to ever come from Milwaukee is the Steve Miller Band. So, we will no longer be playing Steve Miller Band on KiSS 92.5 for the duration of the series…and, likely ever.
Twitter reaction from both sides has been swift and hilarious…
Wellllll that’s 2 things going DOWN in #Milwaukee now:
1. The @Bucks
2. Your ratings.???#WeTheNorth @Drake @Raptors @RaptorRant https://t.co/EQZ3o8dcqF

I'll gladly take a #BreakeFromDrake until after the conference finals. I'm pretty sure #Drake has never been in my playlist to start with but that's beside the point. #FearTheDeer https://t.co/JIoFB91L1q

So, be careful what you wish for Milwaukee!
LET’S GO RAPTORS!
