Giannis Antetokounmpo Rips Bucks Over Selfish Play

Merlin sees Giannis Antetokounmpo losing patience after a 122-102 loss to Oklahoma City, blasting teammates with "guys are being selfish" and saying "I don't understand" why he only took 11 shots. He still finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists, but the Bucks have dropped four of five and sit 18-25, outside the play-in with two weeks until the trade deadline. Merlin notes a deeper pattern: Giannis' shot attempts (16.5 per game) and free-throw trips are down, and Milwaukee’s supporting cast is not forcing defenses to adjust. With chemistry frayed and time running, expect lineup tweaks, more isolation for Giannis if nothing changes, or an urgent add at the deadline to space the floor.
