Giannis Antetokounmpo: Bucks Have To Be ‘Better’
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has called on the organization to improve from top to bottom.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was speaking after a frustrating 112-108 defeat against the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. He scored 48 points and made 17 rebounds, but to no avail.
Considering the Rockets came right out and said their plan was to let him free and guard everyone else, perhaps there is an element of asking for help here from Giannis.

“We have to be better. We have to play better, we have to defend better, we have to trust one another better, we have to be coached better,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said.Â
“Every single thing, everybody has to be better. It starts from the equipment manager — he has to wash our clothes better. The bench has to be better, the leaders of the team have to be more vocal, we have to make more shots, we have to defend better, we have to have a better strategy, we have to be better. We have four months to get better, so we’ll see.”

“It’ll come. It’s a team sport, it’s five guys out there,” Bucks coach Adrian Griffin said. “I thought we dug ourselves in a hole as a unit and did a good job of getting out of it but just ran out of time. They did a good job defensively.”
