The Bucks they count five straight losses and have fallen to 1-5, however the Giannis Antetokounmpo he does not panic and considers that his team has made progress in recent games.
“I think we played a good game“, he stated after the loss to the Cavaliers. “We had energy, we moved the ball around, Lillard found his shots, but some details cost us at the end. I don’t focus on results, my job is to focus on what I and my team can do. It took me a while to think this way, but now as a team leader I believe we are on the right track. It doesn’t mean we’re going to go on a 5- or 10-game winning streak, but we’re playing better. We are closer to finding our identity, we have better pace, better spacing, we make more threes, we defend better and I think we are getting where we want to go“, he added.
Asked if he was worried about 1-5, he replied:We have to find ways to win, we want to win, but things don’t always go your way. If we continue like this, we will have 5 wins in 50 matches and 13 in 82, a worse record than I had in my first year (laughs). But I trust the team and my teammates. If we continue like this, we will put ourselves in a better position to get wins. No one wants to lose, we all want to do whatever it takes to win. It’s not like my first year, which was tragic. Today we scored 75 points with Lillard, but it wasn’t enough. We must also help the rest to find a rhythm, to feel better and to help us».
