Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks can be said to be very sad, because they have a very serious lineup imbalance problem.
Today's easy 117-89 victory over the Detroit Pistons, bucks finals mvp "alphabet brother" Giannis Antetokounmpo was not much happy because he felt isolated. Since the beginning of the season, the Bucks have not had a good lineup.

Main center Lopez is an important scoring point for the Bucks and a defensive axis. However, trapped by injury, López has missed many games in a row, and it is uncertain when he will be able to return. In addition, Holliday, who shined in last season's playoffs, was also unable to play due to injury, and did not rest much in a summer, which greatly affected his competitive state.
What's worse is that The Alphabet Brother originally had Middleton as the second boss, and now Middleton is also absent. It is understood that at present, Middleton has been tested for illness and needs to enter the hospital for treatment, at least 10 days absent. As a result, the Bucks really missed the team's second scoring point, and the situation was not good.
Facing the Pistons, the Bucks' role players were still at ease, and they surrounded the alphabet brother, and four of them scored in double figures. But when it comes to strong teams, these role players are not so good, which is why the Bucks have so far won 4 and lost 4, and can only rank tenth in the East.
The Bucks' journey this season is not smooth, in fact, the pressure to defend the title is still quite large. Against the weaker Phoenix Suns last season, the Bucks were considered to have a lower gold content for the championship and were desperate to prove themselves. But from the current situation, the Bucks really don't have a championship appearance.
