I think I speak for all Milwaukee Bucks fans by saying “what the heck are we doing?” The Milwaukee Bucks are currently 3-8. What are we doing wrong? For starters Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dame Lillard need to get their chemistry better and the rookies and bench should get more playing time. This has a lot of fans worried that we might end up not living up to the championship’s expectations.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dame Lillard have only been teammates since last season. That season the Bucks ended up with losing to a less talented pacers team in the playoff. To be fair they were missing 3 of their key players at the time but during the season Giannis and Lillard’s chemistry wasn’t as good as expected. Upon hearing the announcement that Dame Lillard was coming to Milwaukee, everyone expected the pick and roll between Lillard and Giannis to be unstoppable. Unfortunately, it was the opposite. They both are superstars, and you could tell they didn’t want to overshadow each other. To fix that one of them needs to step up and take charge of the team.
Of all the NBA teams I believe the Bucks have depth in their roster. When the starters are sloppy, I believe the coaches should give more plying to the hungry guys on the bench. In most of the losses the bucks had the bench come in towards the end and they look good. They hustle, dive for loose balls, rebounds and almost comeback to win the game.
