If Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee are still in second place in the Eastern Conference, recent results are not encouraging. There are the two defeats in a row against Indiana, before a success against the weak Spurs, then this setback in Houston. That's three defeats in four matches.
In addition, the defense is worrying and Damian Lillard is very irregular, with very average matches, in terms of points and skill. The situation is far from ideal and, after giving the Rockets 48 points for nothing, Giannis Antetokounmpo decided to send a message.

It starts with whoever takes care of our outfits: he needs to wash them better. The bench must be better, the team leaders must speak more. We have to take more shots, defend better, have a better strategy. »
The Greek gave the list of things to improve. It adds a calendar. “We have four months to improve, so we’ll see. » Four months is obviously a reference to April-May, with the start of the playoffs.
Adrian Griffin seems less impatient. ” It will come. It’s a team sport,” recalls the coach, before giving his opinion on the disappointing performance of his players in Texas. “We shot ourselves in the foot, all together, but we did a good job to come back. We ran out of time. The Rockets were good on defense. »
