“Lose to the Wizards? WITHOUT KUZMA”: Milwaukee Bucks fans in despair as Washington withstands Giannis Antetokounmpo’s triple-double

Despite being one of the top teams in the East, the Milwaukee Bucks were unexpectedly defeated by the Washington Wizards with a final score of 117-113 on Tuesday night. This matchup pitted the Bucks against one of the weakest teams in the league, highlighting the stark contrast between the two teams’ rankings.

The Wizards were led by Corey Kispert’s 27 points, with Deni Avdija contributing 23 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Jordan Poole took on the role of playmaker and recorded 16 points and 13 assists. The defense performed well throughout the game, although Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to achieve a triple-double.

Despite Antetokounmpo’s impressive performance of 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, the Bucks were unable to defeat the Wizards. This was partially due to the absence of Kyle Kuzma on the Wizards’ team. Even though the Bucks were also missing Damian Lillard, it was expected that Doc Rivers’ team would still secure a victory.

Despite being one of the best teams in the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks fans were bewildered and surprised when their team suffered a defeat against one of the worst teams in the league. This loss is on par with their previous defeat against the severely understaffed Memphis Grizzlies before the All-Star break.

Despite the absence of their star player, the Washington Wizards, one fan still cannot believe, were able to defeat the Bucks.

“You guys honestly need a whole cleanse cause how tf did y’all lose to the wizards? WITHOUT KUZMA.”

Yet another fan is already requesting offseason changes to construct a stronger team supporting Giannis Antetokounmpo:

“This team needs a major Revamp this Off Season. Its just not championship caliber and were wasting Giannis and his prime years.”

It was inevitable that a fan would point the finger at Doc Rivers:

“I think it’s time to get Coach Bud on the line and BEG for his forgiveness.”

There are also various memes and reactions circulating online about the Bucks’ humiliating defeat on X.

Future Plans for the Milwaukee Bucks

Despite their loss to the Washington Wizards, the Milwaukee Bucks maintain the second-best record in the Eastern Conference at 47-28. While they are unable to surpass the Boston Celtics, they risk losing their hold on the No. 2 spot if their losing streak continues.

With only seven games remaining in the regular season, Milwaukee is currently holding a two-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their next game will be against the Memphis Grizzlies, kicking off a five-game stretch at home. With an impressive 29-8 record at the Fiserv Forum, they are expected to finish the season strong.

The Bucks will also host the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, and Orlando Magic before concluding their season with away games against Oklahoma City and Orlando.
