The Milwaukee Bucks have gotten off to a poor start with a 1-4 record, including four consecutive losses. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said that’s something he has to fix.
“The defensive transition was still awful tonight and so that’s on me. Everything is on me until we get it right,” Rivers said. “We gotta fix this.”
All four of the Bucks losses have been by double-digit margins. Milwaukee’s defense has struggled to find its footing to open the season. Following the most recent loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said he doesn’t like seeing his teammates hang their heads during games. Antetokounmpo also took issue with his team’s lack of effort.
“At times there is effort. At times there is not,” Antetokounmpo said.
