Yes. Did we compete the two previous games, Cavs and Cavs? Yes. Did we compete today? No. &#8230; If you don&#8217;t compete your ass off, you&#8217;re not going to win the game,&#8221; <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_aoxits\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p5BWYkduQJY\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antetokounmpo said<\/a>. &#8220;[You have to] at least give yourself a chance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ek05mf26y\">&#8220;We came to New York after playing great last night. Then we come here and lose by 30. Are we O.K. with not competing? I&#8217;m not O.K. with that s&#8212;. We&#8217;ve got Boston in two days. We don&#8217;t compete, we&#8217;re going to lose by 30. Simple as that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ad4e6b7b8\">Moments later, while answering one reporter&#8217;s question about the Bucks&#8217; lack of paint penetration, Antetokounmpo paused mid-response to scold another reporter. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_3rxqqt713\">&#8220;Hey man, if you don &#8216;t want to be here, you can leave,&#8221; Antetokounmpo said. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t want to be here, you can leave. I&#8217;m being honest with you.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_k3r2auygj\">The two-time MVP is clearly miffed that the Bucks, a perceived NBA title contender entering the season, are currently 2\u20137 and tied for 13th place in the Eastern Conference. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vs39fwk9r\">And Antetokounmpo doesn&#8217;t see Milwaukee&#8217;s fortunes changing unless they ramp up the competitiveness. A Sunday date with the defending champion Boston Celtics awaits. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/giannis-antetokounmpo-rips-bucks-scolds-reporter-loss-knicks\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a 22-point loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, a frustrated Giannis Antetokounmpo sent a message to his team during his postgame media &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=124064\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=124064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124064\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=124064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=124064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=124064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
