Game 5 loss means another elimination for the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. Should they approach it with more sense of urgency? Giannis Antetokounmpo refuses to be pressed by it for now.
The Bucks lost game four and are now on a 1-3 deficit. They now face the possibility of exiting the playoffs in the first round for a third straight season.
Antetokounmpo is again the best player on the floor, probably from the both teams, on Sunday. He scored 28 points, had 15 rebounds, and dished out 16 assists.
He said he is going to do the same things he has been doing in the series.
“I’m going to do the same thing that I’ve been doing my whole career,” Antetokounmpo said.
“Taking care of my body, prepping my body, prepping myself mentally and go out there to try to play basketball.”
The Greek Freak started the season talking about how he badly wanted to stay healthy for the playoffs. This is because he was unable to play that much in the last two. He did not play a playoff game at all last season.
“I don’t try to seek resilience or extra motivation or anything. There’s no emotion or extra juice. I’m juiced up. I don’t need no extra juice, man. I kind of need to get rid of some juice that I have.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks will be without Damian Lillard
The Bucks started the series with hopes of having Damian Lillard back from a blood-clot injury. He did return although they lost Game 2 with him in it.
They won Game 3.
Now, they’re gonna have to end the series without Dame. If they get pass Pacers, they will not have him the rest of the way.
Bucks players and coaches’ thoughts are busier right now digesting the fact that Lillard got injured again.
There is no diagnosis yet but head coach Doc Rivers is already expecting the worst, with recent reports claiming it is an ACL.
