The Milwaukee Bucks they are going through a season which started on a high note expectationsbut in practice it has big ups and downs.
Despite the fact that they added him to their “quiver”. Damian Lillardthe Stags have so far shown a shaky face and lack of balance in their game, as a result of which they are in third place in the East with a record of 35-21, having already dismiss a coach (Adrian Griffin).
Speaking to “Athletic”, Mr John Antetokounmpo analyzed the problems in the team that have caused this image, emphasized that he is ready to take responsibility, while pointing out that it is time for the Bucks to stop the… self-pity and referred to Griffin and Doc Rivers.
In detail what he said:
“It’s difficult because there are so many changes, so many injuries, so many things. Lots of things, ups and downs. It changes, like I said, the game plan, the structure, everything. We can start from the technical leadership, different.
The coach changed. The coach changed again. Stars, they changed. From Middleton walking in and out. Like so many. It’s just up and down. Up and down. So many things change, man. But we have to stay together, I don’t like victimizing myself. I don’t like feeling bad about myself. That’s not who I am.
Personally, I have to keep pushing. If I have to speak more in the sessions like I’ve been doing all year, if I have to take the board and write something, I will, because you shouldn’t let opportunities like this go to waste.
I feel like I don’t want to look back and say, “Damn, I had some great teams and I couldn’t get over the hurdles.” We need to stop feeling bad about ourselves. I’m sick of this. We need to stop doing this. We are not going to be given things. We have to go get them.
I’ve played with guys who never felt bad about themselves. They came in, did their work, went home, did their work, went home, did their work. This is what we have to do. We don’t at the moment, but we hope we can
Griffin was still figuring things out, how to lead a team, how to work with star players and sometimes, that could be difficult. I think everyone did a good job. His coaching staff also did a good job helping him and making him adjust and I think he did a tremendous job leading us to a 30-13 record, but Doc Rivers has won 1,100 games. So it’s completely different.
We must continue to evolve. We don’t need to change our identity. Of course, we need to be stronger. We have to be tougher. I have to play better. I have to read the game better. But we must continue to evolve. We have to add Doc’s philosophy to what he’s already worked on and hopefully we can create a great mix for the next 25 games we have and be competitive in the playoffs.”
