Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cThey\u2019re going to play tough, and they\u2019re not going to stop playing. That\u2019s the Miami Heat culture. It\u2019s tough. For me personally, I don\u2019t know how the team feels, but for me personally, it\u2019s a tough season\u2026 I\u2019m just trying to take it game by game. I\u2019m grateful \u2014 happy that I\u2019m out here competing. But at the same time, it\u2019s in my nature to win games…<\/p>\n
\u201cMiami\u2019s head coach [Erik Spoelstra] is going to keep playing, man. Even when they don\u2019t knock down shots, you\u2019re going to get second chances. They\u2019re going to crash the board, get rebounds, find the open man, try to get to the free-throw line, keep on moving the ball, get the ball to Bam (Adebayo), and try to execute from there. They\u2019re going to play hard. They have guards that can penetrate and drive and kick, and that\u2019s what they do, man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Antetokounmpo has been frustrated this season, whether that\u2019s enough to get him to leave the only team he has played for in the NBA \u2014 the only city he has called home since leaving Greece \u2014 is another question. Whatever moves the Bucks front office can make this offseason may well have a lot to say about that.<\/p>\n
This offseason, the Bucks and Antetokounmpo will have an honest talk, which will include them offering him a max contract extension. How he responds to that will set the course for what comes next. While many people will read his comments above \u2014 and look at his actions over the past year \u2014 and think they know the answer, nothing is set in stone until he actually turns down the money Milwaukee puts on the table, which he has never done before.<\/p>\n
That said, a lot of teams are prepping their offers to the Bucks for this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Bucks are six games out of the final play-in spot in the East with 17 games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-191068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
