The Bucks are being broken down. What do we think of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard’s early returns?

Giannis Antetokounmpo knew why the reporter wanted him to look ahead: he wanted him to think about what his Bucks could use from their 129–125 road win in the Brooklyn Nets in the playoffs.

Everyone knows that the months of June and May will be major test months for the Milwaukee Bucks, who were hoping to win the title before they made a huge deal over Damian Lillard.

It’s just that the two-time MVP’s knees were wrapped in big ice bags, and his feet were dunked in a bucket of ice. They kept him pretty grounded in the reality for early November.

Antetokounmpo said, “It’s too far,” as he sat in the going to locker room during Barclays Center on Monday.

His body was hurting from playing 35 minutes or more over the second straight game, something he hadn’t done since April, when the Heat eliminated Milwaukee in the Round 1 playoffs. “How old are we? 76?” We are 76 games removed from the playoffs. It’s a long way away.

In some ways, that distance may seem scary, like an ultramarathon track where the finish line seems farther away every step you take.

Even though there’s a huge space between here and there, there is one good thing about it: a long runway can help you figure out where to build the plane. Which is exactly what the Bucks are still doing.

They are now 4-2, but they have a negative point difference and one of the worst defenses in the NBA so far.

And Haynes said during his podcast with NBA writer Marc Stein, “But those two have been working beneath the scenes to try to get things together.” “I heard that Dame worked out at Giannis’ house over the weekend.”

They were seeing a movie. Those two are determined to make each other better as a whole. After that, that will make the team play better.

The Bucks score eleven points each game and allow 25 points per game, which is the 25th best record in the NBA.

The team is in third place within the Eastern Conference right now. Their records are only better than those of the Boston Celtics as well as the Philadelphia 76ers.

“We know who we are; we just need to find what’s effective, and we need to be strong at everything,” George said after the November 6 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

“I believe we are very good that dropping when Brook is on the court.” We’re great at playing small, but we can change it up. Guys can be forced to play alone and take hard shots.

The Bucks beat Philadelphia 118–117 to start their NBA season. Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 62 points together.

Another 13 rebounds were added by Giannis, and Lillard scored eight for his own. For the Bucks, though, Dame and Giannis were pretty much the only good thing about their first game.

Brook Lopez as well as Bobby Portis were the only other Bucks to score 10 or more points. On the other hand, the game showed how powerful the new union could be.

On the other hand, the Sixers are going to be mad that they didn’t get a win. Four players scored more than 20 points, in Tyrese Maxey scoring the most with 31. MVP-winner Joel Embiid scored 24 points, and Tobias Harris scored 20.

Another 27 points came from Kelly Oubre Jr., who came off the bench and played 32 minutes. But James Harden’s absence made the game less important.

Early in the day, it was said that Harden was trying to get on the Wednesday afternoon team trip to Milwaukee.
