Uh oh. When the commentators of the horrible team your team just lost to start wondering why your best player isn’t taking enough shots, then you know you have a problem. I’m talking, of course, about the Lakers and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Of course. Which player were you thinking of? Greg Monroe? You dummy.
Greg Monroe didn’t even play, and still, Giannis only took 11 shots, which is a problem? That’s what the commentators believe, anyway. I’m not so sure. Giannis isn’t the kind of player who can just take shots whenever he wants, and force-feeding him the ball in bad positions, positions where he has to iso (which he did a lot this game) isn’t the best way to utilize him. Having him be a cutter on offense would help him get easy buckets, but off-ball movement is not something that the Bucks do, frustratingly.
Between this loss and the NBA taking away his triple-double, I’d say Giannis is probably going to demand a trade soon. It was fun while it lasted, guys.
