Giannis Antetokounmpo: 'We’ve gotta find an identity. We don’t have that right now'
Following the second straight team’s defeat after losing to Chicago, Giannis Antetokounmpo touched on Milwaukee’s current status in the post-game aftermath. “Right now, we don’t have an identity”, the Greek national team’s superstar first commented about Doc Rivers’ team. “How are we going to win the game? Are we going to defend for 48 minutes? Are we going to move the ball for 48 minutes? Are we going to attack? We’ve gotta find an identity. We don’t have that right now”, the Greek Freak extended his thoughts on the start of the season, which sees the Bucks at 1-2.

Damian Lillard: “Before they won, he was trying to get me to go to Milwaukee, and I was trying to tell him, ‘No, you come to Portland.’ Then, Pat Connaughton, who’s on our team now, was my rookie in Portland, and he was here for like two or three years. Then he ended up signing with Milwaukee, so when he was here, he was like the middleman. So we were in a group chat, all three of us, like, ‘Pat, tell him to come here.’ And he’s like, ‘No, tell Dame he needs to come to Milwaukee.’ It was ongoing like that. Then I see him at All-Star games, you know, like that, but that was really it. We was cool, not like we best friends or nothing, but I had his phone number, you know? We would text sometimes, but we were both the kind who wouldn’t overextend ourselves to tell the other what to do.”

It just means, like, I got to be able to say something to you, and you got to be able to say something to me at all times.”
