The Milwaukee Bucks, with a 38-30 record, are struggling to find their footing despite high expectations after acquiring Damian Lillard. Recently, they dropped to fifth in the Eastern Conference and have a disheartening 2-5 record over their last seven games. Their inability to beat top teams, going 0-11 against the four best teams in the NBA, raises serious doubts about their championship aspirations.

After a loss to the Warriors, coach Doc Rivers facilitated a meeting with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lillard to discuss the team's struggles. The Bucks are currently facing offensive issues, ranked below average for much of the season. Despite being a strong shooting team, their offensive flow remains stagnant, leading to questions about their ability to contend this year.
