FS1 analyst Skip Bayless goes off on Giannis Antetokounmpo for the Bucks’ poor start to their title defense season

The Milwaukee Bucks are not having the start to the season that they would have hoped for. After starting the season 3-1, they’ve lost 4 out of their last 5 games. What makes it worse is that all 4 of these losses have come on their homecourt. A big reason for the same is the plethora of injuries the Bucks are dealing with.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging the same points he has for the last few seasons. In the 9 games he’s played, he’s averaging 27.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists. However, without his co-stars present, it is hard for Giannis to secure the wins, putting up the same numbers. Khris Middleton is out due to the COVID guidelines, Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez are out due to injury. Skip Bayless took to Twitter to talk about the same.

While the Bucks have been struggling to start the season, the fans shouldn’t be too worried. As soon as their roster is back and healthy, games would start going their way, and they’d be back to their winning ways.
