The Milwaukee Bucks have had their ups and downs this season, but they remain relaxed and confident. During a recent practice, Yannis Adetokounmpo hit three consecutive shots and exclaimed, "I'm good. I'm that good!"

Alphabet is averaging 24.0 points per game this season, down from 31.1 last season. The drop in scoring was expected due to the arrival of former Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard. Alphabet is averaging 15.4 shots per game, his fewest since the 2016-17 season. Luckily, he's still efficient, hitting 54.5 percent of his shots.

The Bucks' introduction of Lillard didn't go as smoothly as expected. They have alternated wins and losses in each of their five games. While "Father Time" has had a few explosive games, he is still finding his way with his new teammates.

Milwaukee's offense ranks 12th in the NBA in efficiency. Most analysts believe that things will only get better if Damian Lillard becomes more comfortable playing for the Bucks. On defense, everyone on the roster must improve significantly.

The Milwaukee Bucks rank 25th in defensive efficiency and give up 118.6 points per game, the same in the league. They know their offense can only get them so far. The defense must step up.

Blocking.

Every opponent knows that sooner or later, the Milwaukee Bucks' do-or-die game will involve Yannis Adetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. After announcing the acquisition of Lillard, coaches quickly came up with blocking plays between the two.

However, the Bucks weren't happy with the play. Lillard has initiated more similar matchups with former teammate Jusuf Nurkic, who is nowhere near as much of a threat on offense as the two-time MVP.Milwaukee may end up relying on this matchup instead of continuing their roller coaster ride.

Damian Lillard and Yannis Adetokounmpo are still trying to adjust to each other. They also want more diversity on offense. Once they figure that out, their fun will extend from practice to real games.
