The Milwaukee Bucks’ gloomy cloud has become a storm. After losing four of their past five games, the Bucks may not be panicking, but nothing is going their way. Megastar Giannis Antetokounmpo says their defense and attitude to the game are missing.
Lackluster defense
Bucks’ poor defense contributes to their decline. Milwaukee has allowed opponents to score 125 points per game in the previous five games, including 142 against the Pacers a couple weeks ago. Giannis has urged the Bucks to tighten up and play harder, but they have struggled defensively.Defensive issues plague the Bucks, affecting their offense and squad as a whole.”Not just the defense,” Giannis remarked.”Everything overall. Every detail counts in offense and defense.”Superstar guard Damian Lillard is affected. His average of 22.0 points over the previous five games is impressive, but he’s shooting 38.8% from the field, including 18% from long range.
Fans react
Bucks have long found refuge at Fiserv Forum. Even that is influenced by their recent troubles on both sides of the floor. In their previous game against the Utah Jazz, the Bucks fell down 33 points in the first half, and fans let them know.”I heard it,” Khris Middleton said of the Fiserv Forum booing.It’s hard. I’ll sаy little about it. Sometimes that occurs, but hopefully not again.”
