""We're not playing hard," Antetokounmpo said. "We aren't doing the right thing. We're not playing to win. We're not playing together. Our chemistry's not there. Guys are being selfish, trying to look for their own shots instead of looking for the right shot for the team. Guys trying to do it on their own. "At times, I feel like when we're down 10, down 15, down 20, we try to make it up in one play, and it's not going to work.""
""He's not going to play anytime soon, I can tell you that, but we don't know how long he'll be out," Bucks coach Doc Rivers said."
The Milwaukee Bucks lost 122-102 to Oklahoma City and have dropped four of five games, with three recent losses decided by 18 points or more. Team effort and chemistry problems are evident, with players taking selfish shots instead of team-oriented looks and attempting to erase large deficits with single plays. The Bucks are 18-25 and 11th in the Eastern Conference, threatening a nine-season playoff streak and without a winning streak longer than two games. Kevin Porter Jr. has an oblique strain and will be sidelined for an uncertain period; he averages 16.8 points and 7.4 assists. Giannis Antetokounmpo has had 13 or fewer field-goal attempts in each of his past four games, including 11 against Oklahoma City, and has not demanded the ball from teammates.
