The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a 112-108 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday, and Giannis Antetokounmpo went on a bit of a rant after his team dropped to 25-11 on the season, and the Bucks equipment manager caught a bit of a stray in the comments.

“We have to be better,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said, via Jeff smith of Sports Illustrated. “We have to play better. We have to defend better. We have to trust one another better. We have to be coached better. Every single thing, everybody has to be better. Everybody. It starts from the equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes better. the bench has to be better. The leaders of the team have to be more vocal. We have to make more shots. We have to defend better. We have to have better strategy. We have to be better… We have four months to get better, so let's see.”

The Bucks came into the season with hopes of winning a championship, and that still could be possible, but it appears that Antetokounmpo believes the Bucks are not in that state right now after the loss to the Rockets.

The main competition in the Eastern Conference is the Boston Celtics, who are 28-7, and 3.5 games ahead of the Bucks in the standings as of right now. Antetokounmpo hopes that the Bucks can reach those heights that the Celtics have so far this season.

It will be interesting to see if the Bucks make the improvements Antetokounmpo believes are necessary over the rest of the season. It will start on Monday against the Utah Jazz at home. After that, the Bucks will get to see how they stack up against the Celtics at home on Thursday. It will be the second matchup between the two teams this season, and the Celtics won the first game 119-116.
