There is no secret the Milwaukee Bucks are struggling. 4-6 in their last ten games is not ideal for anyone but as Giannis Antetokounmpo said in a recent interview “there is no panic mode”.

The continuing excuse for the team right now is, “well Khris is still out and Jrue is just recovering from missing a handful of games”. Well, that is certainly true and once the two stars do come back it should help the team indubitably. Though, the only thing Bucks fans need to focus on with their feelings right now is, we do have a Giannis!
In the last 5 starts for Antetokoumnpo, he is averaging 36.4 points per game, 15.4 rebounds per game, and 5.8 assists per game, including a career-high 55 points on January 3rd against the Wizards. While those averages still also includes the atrocious game from last Friday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets where he had only 9 points and 4 rebounds in 22 minutes. This Wisconsin Legend has taken the Bucks to the promise land and regardless of what everyone says right now with the struggle, as long as the Bucks have this man we have a shot.

Once Holiday and Middleton do get back into the swing of things it will no doubly help, as well as Joe Ingles continuing to get comfortable in the Bucks’ system. This team is far from a collapse and if they do continue to struggle it will be time for the Bucks to look into acquiring another wing or mixing up the rotation.
The NBA Playoffs are over three months away still and it is great for the struggle to come right now as the team has a lot of time to figure out their current issues. Now, whenever the Bucks have a struggle in a season, because this will not be the first time it will happen, come back to this article.
Come back to this article and remember who this team has. Who this team has, who saved the franchise from relocating and ended a 50-year championship drought. Embrace the struggle, there is plenty of time to fix the woes. Fear the Deer.

Sorry but the NBA is a joke. In the regular season multiple players take games off including Yannis. I am glad I only follow the box scores as I would never pay for this diminished product.
