Giannis Antetokounmpo admitted he was ‘frustrated’ with the performance of the Milwaukee Bucks in the seeding games.
The Bucks did not play well in the restart of the season and won just three of their eight seeding games (3-5). However, they finished the regular season with the best record in the NBA (56-17).
The “Greek Freak” claimed the Bucks have to forget what happened in the seeding games and play much better in the postseason.
“It wasn’t frustrating because we were losing. Like, losing is part of basketball, losing is part of the game, but, obviously, what was frustrating because at times I think we wasn’t ourselves.
We wasn’t moving the ball as much as I wanted to move the ball or as much as [coach Mike Budenholzer] wants us to move the ball. We wasn’t defending as hard.
As I said, there was times that we were ourselves, where we were the No. 1 team in the league on defense, but there were times that we showed that and there was times that we didn’t,” Antetokounmpo said, via Eric Woodyard of ESPN.
The Bucks will face the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2020 playoffs.
