Giannis Antetokounmpo Gets Honest About Being Eliminated In Tournament
The Milwaukee Bucks were one of the favorites to win the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
However, the Bucks were utterly dominated by the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament.
Following the 119-128 loss, Giannis Antetokounmpo shared his honest views on who deserves the blame for the embarrassing loss against the Pacers via The Athletic on Twitter.
“As much as I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, at the end of the day, the players play the game,” Antetokounmpo said.
Throwing a teammate under the bus is undoubtedly one of the worst things a leader can do.
It can completely destroy the team’s chemistry for the remainder of the season.
However, upon looking at the performances of Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton, and Malik Beasley, it’s no surprise that Antetokounmpo wants them to take the blame for the defeat.
The four players shot a combined 24-59 from the field, which is equivalent to shooting just 40.6% from the field.
