The Bucks’ Struggles
The Bucks’ slow start has been one of their most challenging in recent history. With a record of 1-6, the team has faced numerous obstacles, including the absence of key players like Khris Middleton, who is recovering from offseason surgery. Additionally, injuries to other key players, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, have further complicated the team’s efforts to find their rhythm.
Doc Rivers’ Confidence and Strategy
Despite the setbacks, Doc Rivers has maintained a positive outlook. He emphasized that the worry is outside the building and that there is no extra pressure on the team. Rivers believes that the Bucks are a good basketball team that has played poorly at times and is confident that they can improve. He cited the decision to rest Antetokounmpo to ensure his health, highlighting the team’s focus on long-term success over short-term results.
Steps Towards Improvement
The Bucks have shown signs of progress, even in their losses. Antetokounmpo mentioned that the team is playing better and trusting each other more, which is a positive step forward. The ball movement and overall team chemistry have improved, giving the Bucks hope that they can turn things around.
