Antetokounmpo: “We’re not playing well, we’ve fallen into a hole!”

Clearly troubled by the second home run Bucks loss appeared Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee is 0/2 in 2025 with losses to the Nets and Blazers.

“We are not playing well. Two close games, we didn’t manage to get them. It sure hurts. I feel like before Las Vegas we figured some things out, we had a great rhythm, playing really well as a team. After Vegas I think we kind of took a dip, got into a hole. We just have to play as a team, play harder, compete, try to get the next game. I don’t know where we are in the rankings, but we have to roll. It’s January now. We have 4-6 weeks before the All Star Break, now is the time to pick up wins“, emphasized the 30-year-old superstar.

The Greek Freak did not fail to make a self-criticism. “I need to be more aggressive. I need to get back into a rhythm. I’m not in a rhythm right now. He missed a lot of layups. I feel that the disease has affected me a lot. I’m slowly coming back. It was the first time I was out – not for the nine days because I wasn’t sick for nine days – but like those four, five days that I was, it took a lot out of my body. Think of it like a bank account, now I’m in the red. So I have to keep building. I need to build my body, I need to pick up some weights, I need to fight some food, build my fitness to get back to the positives, yeah, I need to be more aggressive. I believe I can help the team more. And not just to facilitate, but to open the eyes of the players more and defend harder. I can definitely help the team start the game better».
