Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks have the best record in the NBA for the second consecutive season.
However, the team didn't look like the No. 1 seed during the eight seeding games at Walt Disney World. The Bucks went 3-5 and Antetokounmpo lost his cool by head butting Washington Wizards forward Moe Wagner.
With the 2020 playoffs set to start next week, Antetokounmpo admitted on Saturday that he was frustrated by the Bucks' performance during the seeding games.

“We wasn't moving the ball as much as I wanted to move the ball or as much as [coach Mike Budenholzer] wants us to move the ball. We wasn't defending as hard. As I said, there was times that we were ourselves, where we were the No. 1 team in the league on defense, but there were times that we showed that and there was times that we didn't.”
The Bucks will face the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2020 playoffs. That's a series Antetokounmpo and Co. should win easily.
Antetokounmpo finished the 2019-20 season with stellar averages of 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 63 games. He could very well win his second straight MVP Award. The Greek Freak is a finalist alongside James Harden and LeBron James.
Since entering the NBA, Antetokounmpo has playoff averages of 23.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Bucks fans are looking forward to the playoffs since the team is eager to redeem itself from last season's blunder when they blew a 2-0 series lead in the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals.
