The second half of the season, games after the trade deadline and the All-Star Break, should help teams build good habits. That’s not what the Milwaukee Bucks are doing and the latest statement from head coach Doc Rivers is not helping either.

The Bucks lost a second straight game, both by double digits, when they fell to the Golden State Warriors at Chase Arena. Warriors were even without superstar Stephen Curry.
They are now 2-5 in their last seven games and will face tough road games ahead.
“We’re in an offensive funk right now and we have to get out of it. We’ll work our way out of it,” Rivers said when asked about the Bucks struggle.

It is true looking closely at the box score. The team scored just 17 points in the second and fourth quarter.
In the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, they scored just 15 points in the send period and their visitors controlled the game since then.
Milwaukee Bucks will figure things out

Reporters further asked about their problem and Rivers had this to say:
“It’s everything. We’re missing shots, too.”
“It’s everything. We’re missing shots, too. But we’re just – we don’t have the right spacing, the ball’s not moving, we’re not attacking, we’re not getting the paint. I got a whole list. But we gotta do it. And I gotta get them to do it,” he said.

There’s no way but up for the Bucks now and Rivers said he is taking responsibility for the lack of offensive cohesion in the team.
“That’s my job. And it’s on me. It’s my job to get them to do it offensively, and to trust. Now, I think we get in these periods where we just stop trusting (and) we try to do it on our own, and that’s just not going to work.”
