After starting 2-8, the Milwaukee Bucks are now in the lead 14-11and took fifth place in the Eastern Conference table.

“I haven’t heard any slander from Dr. Rivers lately.” Beverley said on his podcast. “I haven’t heard any talk about the Milwaukee Bucks and how they’re not good when they’ve been missing Khris Middleton for almost the entire season.”

– And they don’t even appreciate him for it. They don’t want to love him for it. They literally pick other people and talk about their Player of the Month. How? But go and dig it out of the mud, Greek. We don’t want it the simple way,” Beverley added.

After missing out Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award Last October and November, Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to win the award in December because he put up video game numbers. In his six regular season appearances this month, the Greek Freak averaged 32.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.0 blocks per game.

Meanwhile, his teammate, Damian Lillard, averaged 25.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game during the same period.
