After the Bucks lost last night.

Take a listen.

Okay, But the end of the day, we we lost four in a row.

Homes, we're not going home, you know.

So you know I'm still here, you know?

He's not.

He's not the playoffs.

Obviously, it's frustrating.

You know?

You want to win, you want toe, especially given, like this big game guys playing hard.

We have to be better.

And obviously one of our best players in the team and playmakers best defenders on the team is not playing with us, obviously, is not an excuse.

I'm not that guy.

That gives excuses.

But he's a big part of who we are, you know, And we needed.

I kind of have the feeling that everybody is in a panic mode, which is should not be the case.

We should keep improving.

We should keep improving and she keep playing with basketball.

You should watch the frame.

And at the end, if they've got to go out there and compete, you know, when you come here, nothing can be easy.

Our next guest is our MBA reporter, Eric Woodyard.

Welcome back, Eric.

Always so nice to see you.

And we just heard Yanis urge everyone following the Bucks.

Not to panic.

I think this is just fascinating, right?

Everyone told Milwaukee for the past couple of years.

Hey, what you did in the regular season doesn't matter.

It's all about the playoffs.

Then they spend the regular season tinkering.

Eric, and they lose some games and people are panicked about the regular season.

You're with the Bucks all the time.

What is going on right now?

It's a few different things, obviously is, Yannis stated.

You can't underestimate the fact that drew holidays.

He's a big part of the team.

Big playmaker does a lot for this team on both sides of the ball.

No disrespect to bring Forbes and those guys, but they're not him.

So I think that's the number one thing.

Number two.

This team has struggled to close out games.

You look at them entering fourth quarters when they're down, you know, going into the fourth quarter their own nine, so they need to learn how to close games out.

You can.

You can date back to numerous occasions starting with, you know, when they play the Celtics early in the year they were just on our air playing the Phoenix Suns.

You know, closing out those games is gonna be huge for them.

So I think when you factor out factor in both of those things, that's the problem with this team.

But as Yana said, there's no panic.

The front office I spoke to, somebody from the front office today said the same thing.

No panic mode is just a part of the growing pains, and I mean, they're just re shifting their focus from regular season mo to trying to become a better team when it matters.

Right and look, Eric, I agree with everything that you said and you're right.

It's not time to panic, but it is timeto have some concerns.

And to me, the Bucks have lost eight identity not on the offensive end but on the defensive end.

I'm used to seeing a buck's defense that play boxes and elbows don't allow teams to get into the paint.

A team that could test and make guys miss don't hope that players missed.

They contest shots.

They have two guys that ain't gonna their defense, and Yannis and Brook Lopez, they're not doing that.

They're not making those extra effort plays.

And then, by the way, I'm gonna say another thing.

A lot of teams around the league do not fear the deer no more.

The Miami Heat exposed their hand last year, and that's what happened.

So teams were saying, You know what?

All we have to do is load up and take this away and we could beat the Bucks.

So the Bucks, they're gonna have to find a way to get their identity back and get their swag and dripped back.

And May 18 spear them again.

Yeah, you hit it on the head park.

I think you know, he said it right.

Look, Holiday is huge for them because he addressed the biggest issue that, you know, obviously those past teams had, which was playmaking, and that has a lot to do with closing games.

You need playmakers on the floor when it's not an offensive set or called set to make plays and go get baskets when you want to close out games.

And so right now, without holiday, they are missing that.

But I agree with him.

Do not panic, have urgency, but don't panic.

Get into your film and I guarantee you with a team that's good, that's had regular season success like they had, Ah, great coaching.

But they're addressing two issues.

Focus and effort.

They're not doing it consistently for 48 minutes a game.

On both ends of the floor, you see the turnovers that they have, very uncharacteristic.

You see, the mistake's on the defensive end that they're making, which obviously practice has something to do with that.

We talked about that earlier, but for Milwaukee team, we're used to seeing locked down.

That's uncharacteristic.

They'll address it.

Yeah, absolutely.

And and guys, look, it's a long way to go.

I know we're past the third way mark of the season.

I know everybody up there is nervous.

We have to at least give them a chance to work this out before Asiana says, everybody panics.
