The Playoffs have started, and so has the drama. The Milwaukee Bucks are up against a familiar foe right now, the Indiana Pacers. The two teams are playing in a re-match of last season’s first-round series, which the Pacers won 4-2. This time, there was optimism around Milwaukee despite Damian Lillard’s untimely blood clot injury. That’s because their franchise player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is fit for the matchup. So, obviously, the Milwaukee faithful placed all their chips on the Greek Freak’s shoulders. Many expected Milwaukee to fire on all cylinders tonight. While that hasn’t been the case so far as we roll toward the end of the third quarter, it seems the Bucks aren’t firing at all!
Milwaukee found itself trailing by a massive 24 points at halftime against the Pacers. Other than Giannis Antetokounmpo, the rest of the roster is looking dreadful. Even the Greek sensation has struggled, as we saw during his free-throw attempts. Despite his struggles, he has managed to score 33 points along with 12 rebounds so far. But, the same cannot be said for his teammates, especially Kyle Kuzma, who’s been horrendous, to say the least. In his 21 minutes of game time, Kuzma has produced no stats whatsoever. The 29-year-old forward is yet to make a bucket in the game! Moreover, he has no assists or rebounds either. This, of course, has made him the top target for criticism from fans and media alike.
