The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Milwaukee Bucks today. Prior to this matchup, two-time NBA champion sharp shooter Danny Green shared some of his thoughts on the Bucks, Lakers and his game, per Heavy:
On Bucks and Giannis: “Milwaukee is a tough team and they’re well coached. Obviously an MVP with Giannis (Antetokounmpo) and they push the pace and have some really good shooters. They scrap and do all the little things and have great chemistry.”
On Lakers: “Our locker room and off the court chemistry is probably an A or an A-plus. Everything else is still … defensively sometimes we’re at an A or A-minus or B-plus. Offensively we’re at an A-plus, A-minus maybe. But most times we’re probably at a B offensively and A-minus defensively.”
On his game: “I’ve got to find my rhythm. Find my rhythm back. Do things offensively, defensively to keep this team in the right direction. And I’m trying to get everything going for myself with the team on certain aspects of the game. So it’s still learning and growing. I’m still trying to get back to my normal self and that’s shooting shots and getting better and also trying to be better and do better. We’re not excited and satisfied by one game or 26 games in the season. We’re trying to play April, May and June and being the last team standing.”
This season, Green is averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting at 41.8% from the floor.
Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, is averaging 31.7 points, 12.8 boards, 1.3 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 5.3 assists per contest, while shooting at 56.4% from the field.
